i just know he wore a high number with the Celtics, which suggests that he is familiar with the 10-day contract.

He should be viewed as more of a role model than most guys who are idolized.

He would have been a much better role model if he had come out during the prime of his career rather than waiting till it was over.

He was a well-known college player at Stanford, he has a twin brother, he's been in the league for a dozen years, and he played decent minutes on two NBA Finals teams. If you watch any basketball, how can you not have heard of him?


It's funny how uncomfortable this makes people. No need to try to dismiss the significance of this.

yep

I've known who he and his brother were for a really long time.

there aren't that many twins that make it to the pros in any league.

The year before the Pistons won the championship (2004), NJ swept them in the ECF. IDGAF how the Nets did in the Finals. They were good. I watched plenty of their games vs. Detroit.

There isn't much significance. Did Jason Collins coming out today make a difference in your life in anyway? People will forget about this story in a few weeks after he goes on every morning show.

My only question is did Collins and Richard Jefferson hook up when they were both on the Nets?

I keep with all sports pretty well and I've never heard of him before.
