Im black and Im gay Jason Collins

The center Jason Collins of the Washington Wizards, becoming the first gay active athlete in professional sports in the United States, managed to steal the spotlight from the stars of the NBA. Collins, 34, who last season played 38 games, averaging 1.1 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.3 blocks and 10.1 minutes, stole the country's information after publicly declaring Monday sexual orientation, leaving in the background to the sports competition of the playoffs. The Wizards player, who came to the NBA in 2001-2002, selected by the New Jersey Nets, now become the Brooklyn Nets, has also been with the Memphis Grizzlies, Minnesota Timberwolves, Atlanta Hawks Boston Celtics to play 713 games and get averages of 3.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.3 blocks and 20.8 minutes. His public statement about his homosexuality has been lauded by the NBA commissioner, David Stern, through an official statement, while players like Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers through their Twitter also supported the decision by Collins. Bryant's support is very significant as it had problems with the organizations of "gays and lesbians" in the United States to call "fagot" at referee Bennie Adams who had reported a technical foul during the Lakers game we played against the Spurs in San Antonio in 2011. The Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld also released an official statement that shows "proud" of Collins and give their support.
