Hmmm, the coming out thing seems unlikely. I could be wrong but Frank, Thorne, Kidd, Carter, and Kristic act more or less like adults. Seems to me if there's some locker room tension because someone on the team has come out of the closet (or got outed) that they wouldn't tolerate any **** in the locker room. I can't see those guys being threatened by gayness, not even gayness in the locker room. I can, however, see a player or two causing problems by being a **** about it. And I can see the Nets trying to keep the tension in-house. But, again, I think the leaders on that team would deal with it appropriately. Maybe I underestimate them. I'm sure it would be an issue in the Knick's lockerroom and I can't imagine Marbury or Zeki handling it reasonably. It seems far more likely that losing is eating up the Nets and that worrying about trades and contracts and all that is causing problems.

don't you think the same could have been the cause of much of the tension & conflicts in the Knicks' lockerroom the past few seasons too?

December 7. The NBA is about to be rocked by one of the biggest scandals in league history. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that a prominent member of the New Jersey Nets has admitted to his family that he's bisexual.

In an exclusive interview, MediaTakeOut.com spoke with a friend of the family who claims the player "came out" during a recent trip home. According to our source, "when [the player] came out of the closet, everyone was shocked ... we would always see pictures of him with models. No one suspected that he was into men."

And what's more shocking, tells our source, is that the NBA player has entered into a romantic relationship with one of his childhood friends. The tipster explains, "the two boys were friends since childhood ... when [the player] went to the NBA, he brought along [the friend] as a personal assistant." The tipster added, "I don't know how to feel, I love them both but something doesn't seem right about them being together like that."

And the source tells MediaTakeOut.com that the NBA star's relationship with his former pal appears to be serious. The source explains, "[the player] could have kept it quiet and nobody would have suspected. He came out because he wanted us to accept his relationship." The source added, "those two have been friends for many years .. if their relationship is anything like their friendship, its got to be serious."

The NBA player, who is African American, has been linked to a number of women in the past - all of whom are Caucasian. He is also known for enjoying the night life with his teammates and good friend Tyson Beckford.

For legal reasons, MediaTakeOut.com has decided not to print the name of the player.

Hmmm, well, googling around for gossip and the speculation is possibly VC but, yeah, mostly likely RJ. Amazing that this is such a big deal but I can't think of any out NBA players. I guess I underestimated the league. Seems to me that the whole team ought to say cool, now get to freaking work, now, dude, you are still recovering from your injury so lay off the dating and Oprah gigs and put some, ahem, balls in the basketball. But you guys are probably right. It's probably a big distraction and the guys on the teams are being *hits about it.

They basically outted him by saying this. RJ is good friends with Tyson Beckford.

I'm just saying...RJ needs to focus on his D and his footwork and not get all relationshippy. Or something. Is this related to the change back to the leather ball?

We are all good friends with Tyson Beckford!

WTF is a Tyson Beckford? I think, after reading through various Beckford wiki entries, that I might recongnize him from a billboard or something but otherwise nada.

Who posted the pictures of RJ and Channing Frye holding up his shirt posing like he was sweet.

Was it DJ ? Didn't some friend of yours get those pictures for you post here ?.

I have RJ on my fantasy team and he doesn't seem to be aggressive anymore.
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

I thought hoop would be the most tolerant sport to "come out".

Vince makes sens as he kinda blew off the whole opt out thing and has been quoted as just wanting to play ball. Achem.

He is recently divorced also. As for RJ, well who knows.

As for the knicks, maybe if RJ comes out it will be easier for Isiah to finally do the same.

The Anucha thing was a front to make it appear like he digs chicks. Maybe chicks with sticks?

Would be nice if a slew of athletes would "come out" and homophobia in sports could be put to rest.

Channing's new haircut & that "Cyrano Frenchie" style goatie he's growing gives me doubts about him.

Frye is not gay, i heard RJ always has a lot of girls ... I dont think hes gay.. a player i thought was gay was Matt Barnes

MAtt Barnes? Kinda random. Why? B/c he was reclusive and not social with teamates?


That and just the way he spoke in interviews... his manerisms and such
