Jalen Rose: "Kevin Love only made the Olympic team cause he's white"

[90sgoat]

What a racist :roll:

Honestly there are not nearly enough white players if the americans want any chance to win.

FIBA ball requires technical skills and bball iq.

[DoctorP]

Why is Kevin Love on the Olympic team? :lol

He's not even an all-star

K Love made team USA ?

Why
Are all the actual good players pulling out?

Why is Kevin Love on the Olympic team? :lol

I don't think K Love could Start for team Serbia or Team Spain at this point.

There has to be a better token white guy than Kevin Love available.

What a racist :roll:

FIBA ball requires technical skills and bball iq.

FIBA ball requires physicality and intangibles of which Love hasn't had since he lost the weight like 10 years ago.

[90sgoat]

The team had Bam Adebayo and Draymond Green as centers.

They would be eaten alive by euro centers.

Who else should have been chosen, that wanted to go?

Last time they had Myles Turner and he was bullied by the superior euro centers.

Love is tough and strong.

Team USA has been dominating the international competition almost every year with their all black lineup. Last few years they even sent their back up players to represent the country. The NBA bench players could probably bring back a bronze or silver medal

Dude are you kidding me?

They just got spanked by Europe a couple of years ago and didn't medal at all.

They're trash when the court isn't wide open.

[90sgoat]

What's the roster?

Durant and losers.

Is Karl-Anthony Towns not American?

Like last time, the team lacks true point guards and big men.

They'll struggle again. Durant will get bullied and leaned on.

They have a lot of shooters, but no one to run enough sets to get them open.

Ayton is from Bahamas, Towns is Dominican.

The US has no good big men.

Neither is Deandre Ayton (the player Jalen Rose says should be on the Olympic Team)

[Spurs m8]

Racist cvnt

[DoctorP]

Neither is Deandre Ayton (the player Jalen Rose says should be on the Olympic Team)

Right. But Ayton is an ascending young player. But apparently not American.

[90sgoat]

The US reaping what it has sowed.

It has turned all talented smaller players into comboguards and all talented taller players into stretches.

That's what works in the NBA with no defense, but FIBA doesn't have defensive 3 seconds.

[tpols]

Oh brother...

Remember when Rodman said Bird would be just another player if he wasn't white.

[90sgoat]

For some blacks, equality means no whites.

[90sgoat]

The thing about international ball is that going one on one, like the US tends to do, negates the talent difference.

If the euros defend as a team and team US attacks as individuals, then that isn't going to work. Not even MJ could beat the better TEAM in the Celtics.

[D-Wait]

Eh, they propably just wanted an old member of the US team as some type of continuity...

And I recall him having a great relationship with the program and coaches...

[FultzNationRISE]

Well, that’s affirmative action for ya. :confusedshrug:

Still it goes to show the divisive agenda the media pumps out. You could never say somebody made it just because they were black... Or youd catch heat and be cancelled.

Kwame has been making fantastic points about how media controls peoples minds and promotes a twisted agenda. It keeps the powers that be in control when were fighting with each other and not directing it at them. I watch his videos everyday now.

In the places I grew up (Argentina) that sort of banter went both ways and everyone was cool at the end of the day.

The idea of a Slav from Slovenia being "white" in the American context has always confused me.
I think even people here intrinsically understand that these are different things because I see the term "white Euro" used a lot.

Technically it isn't. Foreign isn't a race, gay isn't a race, autistic isn't a race. :lol

There are a lot of trolls here that throw personal insults around like confetti.

BTW Hispanic isn't a race either. It's an ethnicity.

Team USA has won 58 straight FIBA and Olympic games before losing to France in the FIBA world cup in 2019...and they had a C level roster representing them that year because most of the all stars pulled out...it doesn't change the fact that they will easily crush the comp if the best players were motivated enough to suit up....
Like i said they could still put together a team to compete for bronze or silver without too much work.

[bladefd]

Kobe only scored 81pts because he was facing the scrub Jalen Rose.

I wonder how Jalen would react to that?? :oldlol:

He was a GREAT player before injuries broke him down.

Multiple time rebounding leader, MVP candidate and top 5 player at his peak and multiple All NBA member

Top 15 PF ever in arguably the most stacked position ever

I could be wrong here, but with some level of comfort, I can say that Kevin Love isn't even top 15 in the last 10 years.

Thats globophobic my man

[Lebron23]

Kevin Love in the current FIBA Rules is a better pick than 2004 Tim Duncan

[tontoz]

His comment to you was asinine but not racist. However if you are going to post here regularly you will certainly see plenty of racist comments.

Ethnicity is about culture and where you are from. In a census typically you will see "white, of Hispanic origin" not just Hispanic. I can't recall ever seeing just Hispanic when filling out a form asking about race.

[ralph_i_el]

Love should do really well under FIBA rules honestly. The style of play rewards bigs who can shoot and move the ball quickly

[tanibanana]

Any of Lopez twins is better at this point.

[ImKobe]

Jalen Rose wasn't half the player Love currently is.

Love's made more All-NBA teams than Kevin McHale and was a better scorer, shooter, passer & rebounder at his peak. Don't let him being stuck on a rebuilding team that refuses to run the offense through him fool you, he's ****ing awesome and has been misused since the trade to Cleveland.

So you now believe Kevin love is a better and greater player than Kevin McHale all time? Yeah...I think this will be the last time I ever acknowledge anything you say again. :oldlol:

What does all-time have to do with his actual basketball ability? Love's a 26/13/4 big with elite 3PT ability at his peak and his prime was wasted in Lebron's system and he's played for the two worst franchises in NBA history his entire career. Put him on the 80s Celtics with Bird and tell me doesn't win 3 rings as well.
