Jason Collins came out at the end of last season and was sitting unsigned as a free agent until this past Sunday. He was finally taken by the Brooklyn Nets and given his chance on the court. He played for just under 11 minutes in his first game but didn't score a point. That being said he had two rebounds and made a steal, hopefully next game he will blow them away. I think it's sad that he was unsigned for so long because I truly believe it was a result of his coming out. I'm hoping now that we can say there is an openly gay NBA player, the stigma will lesson and it won't matter who you love but how you play.
