saw this guy in the supermarket - he was so nice. i think athletes should just play ball. their personal life is nobody's business. while i like this guy, I am not sure if i would have shared my preference with the world. just be known as a good athlete, not a good gay athlete. play the system and don't let the system play you.

[naples2sicily]

he sucked but i respect him as a person not as a basketball player he sucked

alot of ppl hatin on this poor guy just cause hes gay its fuked up

Hey i bet he kicked a bunch of ppls ass for callin him gay

@9987666 Relax guys, this dude only averaged 6.2 ppg und 2.6 rpg. The reason why he actually is in the hall of fame, however, is because he scored the first basket in the new millennium for the NBA.

Answer that, men: Would you feel ok with being naked in front of a gay man?

Answer tthat, women: Would you feel ok with being naked in front of a lesbian?

Did you know that these players share the changing room? Share the shower room?

It is obvious they don't like fags. Who likes that kind of disgusting thing?

@Has1b Also the bible says "He who is without sin may cast the first stone".In God's eyes no matter what we do we are all sinners and God doesnt view anyone either more or less.

[dcflava74]

@Has1b Okay you said queer and retarded which are both deragatory terms you say that you dont have any hatred towards gays but then you say gays do not belong in the NBA,why not,why should a persons sexual orientation should limit them or preven them from doing what they love to do.Most gay people that I know know better not to force their ways on straight people anyway.Its people like you sir who causes this great divide that we have now in this country.

[Has1b]

@dcflava74 I just voiced my opinion, I don't believe gay's should be in the Nba; I don't have hatred against them or what not, I don't give a shit to be honest, there are all types of queer retarded people in this world..

[dcflava74]

@OmarChannel Those who have as much haterade gainst gays are probaly ones themselves in the closet.I mean why have so much hatred and judgement against people who havent do anything to you or dont even know you.My advice is go on with your own life and mind your own business.I dont agree with homosexuality but they are not bothering me,why waste my time with so much judgement and animosity.

[TheBassoProfondo]

why does it say NBA Hall of Famer under his name? He is not in the Hall of Fame.
