Jalen Rose THE MAYOR HAS MY BACK!
Jalen Rose has some powerful friends -- including the Mayor of Detroit -- who wrote up a very personal letter to the judge in Jalen's DUI case to show the NBA star is remorseful and deserves mercy.
TMZ has obtained a copy of the letter written by Mayor Dave Bing -- a former Detroit Pistons star who is considered one of the greatest 50 NBA players of all time.
In the document, sent to the court before Jalen's sentence was handed out, Bing says, "I have known Jalen since the day he was born."
He adds, "I can assure you that Jalen fully comprehends the danger he posed on March 11. Jalen has assured me, but more importantly, he has assured himself, that this will never happen again."
Bing concludes, "I fully believe Jalen was truthful to me when he stated: 'I will never drink and drive again or ever be in any other court for any violation of the law."
Unfortunately for Jalen, Bing's letter -- and other letters written to the judge from friends of Rose -- weren't effective enough ... and the judge ordered him to serve 20 days in jail.
Rose's lawyer has called the sentence "Outrageous."

GORGEOUS Model Busted for DUI The Sexy Footage
It might be the sexiest DUI arrest ever -- Claudia Jordan's smokeshow friend BUSTED after sideswiping a parked car ... while driving a freaking DeLorean ... and it was all caught on TAPE.
Law enforcement tells TMZ, model SueLyn Medeiros -- we strongly recommend Googling her -- was pulled over last night in Hollywood after colliding with a parked car, and when she opened her DeLorean's gull-wing door, cops caught a "strong odor" of alcohol.
Police administered a field sobriety test -- and Medeiros, who had been driving with Claudia in the car, laughs the entire way through, prancing around barefoot ... needless to say, cops weren't impressed.
Medeiros then blew a .14 -- nearly twice the legal limit in California -- and was placed under arrest.
According to law enforcement, Medeiros bragged incessantly about being a rich model, and was extremely flirtatious with the officers.
Medeiros is still in custody on $45,000 bail. As for the high bail amount, we're told she had an unrelated warrant out for her arrest ... but it's unclear why.

Zac Efron -- Could He Have Prevented Buddy's DUI?
Zac Efron was drinking with good friend Ryan Rottman literally minutes before Rottman was arrested for DUI. The question, should Zac have said anything to his pal to prevent him from taking the wheel?
Sources inside the Dillon's Irish Pub in Hollywood tell TMZ ... Zac, Ryan, Rumer Willis and a few other friends ordered a total of 7 Kamikaze shots, 8 or 9 mixed drinks and 3 - 4 beers.
Zac and Rottman both left the bar at around 9:30 and went their separate ways. We shot video of Zac running from the bar to his car, though it appears Rumer drove him away. By 9:45, Rottman was in police custody.
Rottman apparently was hammered. Cops spotted him after he drove up a curb near Dillion's. He blew a .19, more than twice the legal limit.
We asked Zac's rep if the actor urged his friend to take a taxi or find some other way home that would not have put him behind the wheel. We did not get a response.
So we ask ...
