Jalen Rose is a former NBA player who currently works for ESPN sometimes being game commentator or an analyst. I believe his greatest feat in Basketball was being part of the College FAB FIVE.

Kevin Love is on the team because of tokenism, Dont be scared to make an all-Black team representing the United States of America. Im disappointed by that.Anybody that watched the league this year knows Kevin Love did not have a stellar season, was not the best player on his team and did not necessarily deserve to be on this squad, he said.

Fucking idiot is just doing a shit take because:

A. not every top tier NBAer is American and B. he doesn't know how many if any players already declined to play for Team USA, leading up to Love moving up on the consideration chart.

The funniest part is that was the case just two Olympics ago, but he would rather believe a narrative. Not to mention Kevin Love was chosen awhile ago. No way he would be after the current season.

I thought it was cuz he's hot?

There have been 2 white guys on the dream team since 1996. The 2016 Olympic team was an all black team, several teams have been all black, I highly doubt they are scared to send an all black team now.

I like Jalen Rose, but wtf was he talking about here lol
