They want whitey out.
At his healthiest, he was a good player, a consistent double-double threat. He could also make the threes.
Unfortunately, the past 2 years, he has been plagued by injuries.
At least he was honest enough to know his limitations, to which he has to be given credit.
Hopefully some white team from a Central European country will take the wokesters out of their misery.
Black Jalen Rose at ESPN said white Kevin Love got his spot on Olympic basketball team due to affirmative action. The remark caused controversy but Rose was not punished.
Meanwhile, Rachel Nichols of ESPN said that her colleague Maria Taylor benefitted from affirmative action. Nichols got hammered and her assignments taken away. Of course, it’s a bigger deal for Nichols to criticize a colleague but Rose was totally unscathed. Had he been white and Love black, Rose would have been called a racist.
The funny thing about the Rachel Nichols/Maria Tayler cat fight is that it wasn’t even racial. It was classic older woman (Nichols) fearing a younger woman was taking her job/man/etc. situation. She only got in trouble because the race card was pulled on her.
Jalen Rose will be happy…

He’s never gotten over the fact that he and Chris Webber lost all their street cred in the hood when those white boys from Duke beat them for the NCAA championship. Never has so much ink and hype been written about one team - the “Fab Five”and they never even one a Big Ten Championship let alone a NCAA champ.
I’m rooting for Slovenia.
At his healthiest, Kevin Love was a great player. Kevin’s middle name is Wesley, named after Wesley Unseld. Kevin’s dad played with Wes Unseld with the Washington “Bullets”.
Wes Unseld was probably the best outlet passer in the history of the NBA. Kevin was just as good. When Kevin was at UCLA, there was a video of Kevin throwing a length of the court chest pass/shot that had very little arc. He didn’t even have to take a step.
Duke was not all white.
RE: Kevin’s middle name is Wesley, named after Wesley Unseld. Kevin’s dad played with Wes Unseld with the Washington “Bullets”.
Let’s not forget that Kevin Love led the NBA in rebounds for a few seasons and was an all-star 5 times.
He also won the NBA Championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016 (with LeBron James ).
Was a great player when healthy in his prime. It’s ridiculous what has happened to the NBA and NFL. .. Don’t want to divulge more, but I’ve been around the NBA since the 70s. Something I scribbled out for some people today. I’m sorry it’s so long. Kevin Love might be done. The little he played last year, he played hurt. Don’t know if he’ll retire, but he’s a pretty fair-minded guy apart from the occasional tantrum, and there’s a real chance he and the Cavs agree on a buyout of his huge contract. NO WAY they win Game 7 at Golden State without him. Play-by-play breakdown showed that just 5 of the 89 points the Warriors scored were his responsibility. That includes one-on-one, switches, pick-and-rolls, fouls, getting rebounded over, everything. He dominated the boards (14). Good playmaking and numerous key plays that “don’t show up in the stats.” Cavs outscored Warriors by 19 points in the 30 minutes he played. Cavs were outscored by 15 points in the 18 minutes he didn’t play. The reason he didn’t play 35-38 minutes was two first-quarter fouls. Scored just 9 points but took just 9 shots. In the last 2:30, not only did he shut down Curry twice on the same possession, but on two other possessions, he defended in the paint and then made great closeouts to force Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala missed 3-point shots. Love and Green were officially listed as the starting power forwards, but they seldom matched up. Green scored zero points as Love’s responsibility, missing both of his shots against Love. Green scored 32 points, making six 3-pointers, as Cavs game plan included basically giving him the 3. But James and Smith gave Green way too much space after switches. Tyronn Lue supposedly yelled at James about that at halftime, when Golden State led 52-44. The 5 total Warriors points Love was responsible for over the entire game were two Klay Thompson 2-pointers, and Love playing Andy Varejao too strong to one side, allowing Andy to take Love to the hoop, getting fouled by Love, and making 1 of 2 free throws. Sorry to write so long!!
“I’m rooting for Slovenia.”
Anybody but the USA . Olympics should be for AMATEURs .
The current group of players do not represent the USA as far as I’m concerned.
