He became the first NBA player to say it when he said "I'm a 34 year old center, I'm black and I'm gay." What are your thoughts on this. I think it cool that he had the balls to say it. There have probably been others(see any Chris bosh photo) who have been too afraid.

Hopefully only a good thing. Far too much homophobia in the world in general, and even more disproportionately so in men's sports.
On a sidenote, I wonder if this will impact his twin brother's social/sex life...

Nothing but respect for the first pro athlete to come out while still playing! Thankfullly we are living in a world where the only determination of success in any field is/should be merit. Whether by race, color, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual preference or any other real/perceived difference, there no reason why we all shouldn't be free to live life as who we are and pursue our dreams on equal footing. I'm curious to see if this announcement begins a domino effect, to break down a predjudicial barrier in professional sports...

I'm of mixed emotion on this one...
on one hand, i wanna say good for him.
on the other hand, i wanna say.... nothing... i don't care... i don't see what the big deal is... he's gay... whoopdeedoo
either way, im somewhat pleased that i'm torn between thinking it's a good thing, and thinking being gay is no big deal.... and not a single part of me thinks "ew, a gay"
