Anyone starting to think Jason Collins is a publicity stunt?

After hearing more people close to Jason Collins (this includes his twin brother and former fiance) publicly saying that they had no idea that he was gay, the whole thing starts to smell funny to me.
This is a guy that if you look at the trajectory of his stats (played in less than 50% of games in 12-13 [and only 2 out of his last 13], with less than 10 min/G, 1 PPG, and 1.5 Reb/G), he would probably be out of the NBA by next year anyway. He has no contract for next season and really should be considered a free agent already.
The details of of it just seem to me like this is a setup stunt designed to garner more attention when his career ends right after he "comes out".

Interesting concept. But no one will around here will want to discuss it.

Posted this in another thread just now:
This whole thing is a media bonanza. Biggest thing for this douche stick was not coming out but having a career beyond basketball. Hell, he's always going to have speaking engagements, he'll write a book, be hired by some LGBT advocacy group as a consultant, etc.
This was a money thing. Who care if he's gay. Coming out was a business decision.

The timing is ridiculous. Now that he's not on a nba teams payroll he's coming out. The NBA looks like the bad guy when no team wants to sign an attention whoring 35 year old who hasn't been any good in 3 years.

Are you implying he is lying about being gay or just came out at this point to try and lengthen his career?

7 foot dudes willing to play his role for pennies on the dollar don't come around very often.
He'd find a home.

I think it's exactly what it is. Obama seemed to have a statement prepared the minute it came out. The whole thing is fricking disgusting.

Him coming out has subsequently caused the tard to come out of a lot of people.

Jesus Christ I knew the fricks on this board were dumb but this Collins thing has taken it to a new level
Y'all truly are fricking retarded aren't you?

I think he outed himself to get away from the Kardashians girls.

Yeah I think we're gonna have to demand to he prove it to us by publicly sucking another man's dick.

Maybe that was his excuse for giving up women and going to men

i think he'd be content if he never played again.
In fact, i think he came out now because he knows his days are numbered and he knows he doesnt have many more season that he will have to deal with it, if at all.
