Jalen rose

Someone should tell jalen the only white dude on any Olympic men's team in the last 20 years is Kevin love. Unless you count Klay

Does Klay count?

Is this dumbfuck week for racial commentary

I’ll always love Jalen. But he’s horrible during pregame, halftime and post game.

Missed this outburst of his you’re referencing, but I can imagine the stupid he might’ve said on air.

ESPN in general, is really hard for me to enjoy during these playoffs. Wish TNT had the entire thing.

He’ll probably get a raise and a slap on the wrist.....

What did he say?

 

[Pure Steel]

ESPN broadcaster Jalen Rose said Thursday that Kevin Love reportedly being on the USA Basketball Olympic roster for the Tokyo Games was "tokenism" and likened the Cleveland Cavaliers star making the team to Christian Laettner making the Dream Team.

What Rose failed to point out in his rift about Love and USA Basketball was that there have only been two White players on Team USA since 1996.

Love is reportedly set to make his second appearance on Team USA for this summer’s Tokyo Olympics. He played and won a gold medal with Team USA in 2012 in London.

I do agree with Rose about not understanding why Love is on the team. He barely played an just isn't good ATM but race would not be my first option as to why he is on the team.

There were other white players I would have chosen before Love so I don't think it is a race issue

 

[bksballer89]

Joe Harris
Gordon Hayward
Duncan Robinson

All white and in the player pool....should have been selected before you go to Love IMO

 

[bksballer89]

Every other player on this roster had a damn good season so yeah idk why Love is on the team

 

[gohusk]

It's kind of insulting to the rest of the white players having Love lumped in with the rest of them for this argument because Love is basically hot garbage at this point of his career.

I think it’s sad that this is seen as black and white. Love has played on an Olympic team before and obviously that means something. This race shit has to stop and Rose is way out of line. Also back in those days it was common to put a college player on the team and Laetner deserved it. Stop with this shit already, fire his ass.

A helluva bunch of them. It’s stupid you made a team without him already in one of those spots. Not a team without him. Stop with the race baiting dumbass.

Don't disagree persay but it was likely about having someone with size who has a game that fits Euro style play.

Regardless it's absurd to make this comment when literally only one time in the last five Olympic teams there has been a white guy.

It just gets to be over the top sometimes.

And Bird still would have walked in the locker room asking who was going to finish 2nd in the 3 pt contest.

And Bird still would have walked in the locker room asking who was going to finish 2nd in the 3 pt contest.

The answer would have been Bird
