Still nothing on Magic's "I have the AIDS" announcement, far braver to admit to AIDS in 1991 than admitting you're merely gay in 2011. Hell, there are gay marines out of the closet, now THAT takes some serious courage.

Only guys that play fantasy basketball know who this guy is. I'll wait until an nba superstar to come out. Like Adam Morrison

He's tweeting that his account got hijacked by a teammate. I'd say that getting his account hijacked was probably the best thing to have happen to him, because now people will have actually heard of him.

He gets a pass... not that being gay is something he'd need a pass for.

I like all the pretend fans who have never heard of him.

I don't even pay much attention until the playoffs and I've heard of him.

Then again, if you hear of a guy named "Von Wafer" you don't really forget that name.

That's a former player. It's not the same once you're out of the league (and the locker rooms).

Yes, the Houston radio announcer yelled that "he's not a cookie, not a cracker, hes a Von Wafer" every time he made a big shot

Ya, I know. When I saw the pic in the article--before I saw the guy's name--my first thought was "Eddie House is gay?!?!" Then I was like "wait-that's not Eddie House; it's Rajon Rondo." Then I read the word thingies.

He gave the Lakers fits in the regular season a couple years ago but then stank it up in their playoff series when Kobe decided that enough was enough.

If nothing else he has the gayest name in the NBA. So he has that going for him, which is nice.

...and penetration. Scouting report says he's good at running the Princeton offense (lots of backdoor action).

That second jersey is the wrong color. Should look just like the top one.
