Last week on “Jalen &amp; Jacoby,” ESPN host Jalen Rose <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/espns-jalen-rose-disappointed-that-kevin-love-selected-to-team-usa-says-tokenism-the-reason">claimed</a> that the reason Kevin Love — a white player — was selected to the roster of the U.S. Olympic basketball team was because of “tokenism.” He then went on to say that he was “disappointed” in the selection committee for being “scared to make an all-black team representing the United States of America.” 
It may have been a “hot take,” but it wildly missed the mark. The implication was that the only reason Love was selected was because of the color of his skin, and that the selection committee would somehow be uncomfortable with an all-black Olympic team roster.
