Jalen Rose apologizes to 'the game' after 'tokenism' remark, still doesn't believe Kevin Love should make team

The ESPN basketball analyst apologized to Isiah Thomas, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, George Gervin, Bill Russell and finally Love in a 42-minuteAnd while he apologized, he asserted he was"entitled" to his opinion and the criticism over his remarks was akin to character assassination."If I feel like Kevin Love should make the team or not, I’m entitled to my opinion," Rose said."You don’t have to like my opinion, you don’t have to like me.

"But you know why I’m apologizing right now? To the game. Because I’m what the game made me," he said."I was raised by the all-time greats and you know what I would never want to do? Disappoint [Rose’s late mother] Jeanie Rose or disappoint the all-time greats that raised me.""Not that I believe that you deserve to make the team," he said of Love."I’m pretty sure when you got the call too you were like ‘Word?! I’m on the squad.’ I know how this works ya’ll.

In his initial comments on the podcast, Rose said,"I’m excited about the roster and I assume, and I know, we’re going to win the gold. But I’m disappointed in something. As I do this show every day, I do it in front of a picture of Tommie Smith and John Carlos raising their fist at the Olympics. I also know the favoritism that Christian Laettner was shown when he got a chance to be put on the Dream Team ahead of Shaq and Alonzo .
