Former NBA star Jalen Rose’s daughter, Mariah Rose, didn’t hold back when sharing her honest thoughts about Olympic standouts Sunisa Lee and Chloe Kim on Thursday.

The digital creator reacted after a photo of the two gold medalists enjoying time together in the New York snow started making the rounds online. As the image quickly went viral, Mariah shared her thoughts by dedicating an Instagram post to the pair.

“Obviously there’s Olympic baddies that come from all walks of life but can we give a shoutout to the Asian girlies for a sec??” Rose captioned the video.

Rose shared the clip on her “Hoops for Hotties” account and expanded on her thoughts in the video.

“At the risk of sounding problematic and weird, and I really hope I don’t get myself cancelled,” Rose said. “One of my best friends DM’d me and was like if reincarnation exists, I hope I come back as an Asian Olympic baddie. And honestly, I couldn’t agree more.”

She went on to emphasize that Lee and Kim are not only elite athletes, but also carry themselves with grace and confidence away from competition.

“Suni Lee knows exactly how I feel about her face card,” Rose continued. “This b*tch is insane, and I mean that as a compliment.”

“Chloe Kim, to be the woman that you are. To be an Olympic snowboarder, but also to have the face card of this nature and the style and the swag that she exudes its just insane. “

Rose’s remarks came after the two Olympians were photographed together by GQ Sports in New York, a moment that quickly went viral.

Mariah Rose backs Gen Z athletes following Alysa Liu’s Winter Olympics heroics

The 2026 Winter Olympics delivered several standout performances, with Team USA finishing second in the medal standings with 12 gold medals. Among them was Alysa Liu, who captivated audiences with her figure skating routine.

However, Liu’s journey has not followed a conventional path, and she has faced criticism along the way. Mariah Rose addressed that backlash on Instagram, publicly voicing her support for the young Olympian.

“Gen Z athletes are actively destroying the sports world as we know it and I love it,” Rose said. “Alyssa Liu literally does not look like a figure skater and that is her superpower.”

Rose argued that athletes have historically been expected to conform to certain societal standards and praised Liu for challenging those norms rather than fitting into them
