John Amaechi is gay, and now the first NBA player to come out publicly is ready to talk about it.
"He is coming out of the closet as a gay man," Amaechi's publicist Howard Bragman said Wednesday.
NBA commissioner David Stern said a player's sexuality is not important.
"We have a very diverse league. The question at the NBA is always 'have you got game?' That's it, end of inquiry," he said.
