Jason Collins: I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay.

I respect a good teammate, even if he doesn't play a lot of minutes. Some folks have said that Collins would bend over backwards to help the guys in that locker room.

 

I guess that's better than bending over forward to help them.

I'm really starting to worry about you Jim.

 

Why? Because I'm being honest about this, where others prefer to make jokes? It's not that they aren't funny, but it just goes to illustrate my point further — if we're going out of our way to make all kinds of jokes on here about homosexuality, what's going on in a locker room that oozes testosterone through the cracks in the wall, a locker room where most of the inhabitants are in a perpetual state of arrested development?

I'm being honest too. I'd be willing to bet the house that not a single player in the NBA would be fearful of Jason Collins sexually assaulting them while taking a shower.

I feel like David Stern is going to make it a point that some team picks him up in free agency.

Well if he can keep CP3 off the Lakers and give the #1 pick in the draft to NOLA I guess it's safe to say he can find a way to make this happen. :lol2:

Sexually assaulting? Maybe not. I bet over 50% would be leery of taking a shower with him after the game for fear he may be checking them out.

He has to rank relatively high on the scale of largest homosexuals in the world.

I'd say Nate Robinson will be watching the upcoming Collins free agency with added interest.

Look which actor was Collins' teammate in high school.

I love that dude. I was watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall the other night. He was great in Knocked Up and This Is Forty also.

Heard the Obamas called in support of him, both of them too. I wonder if they told him he looks like he could be their kid?

Naw. Too tall and too old. Nephew or brother would work though.

Wouldn't bother me in the least. You?

Nope. I'd be flattered if he was checking me out. I do know plenty of people who aren't NBA players who will tell you straight up that they would never knowingly take a public shower with a gay guy in the same showers. I have hard time believing that a decent size percentage of the NBA players wouldn't think the same.

 

The same mindset that didn't want Magic Johnson's sweat to touch them if he played again is still alive in the locker room. It's naive to believe otherwise. I'd hope they are all mature enough to handle having a gay teammate but I don't have faith in their maturity. They all won't be supportive like Kobe is.

Yep. Used your tax money to place the call collect too.
