The Gay Thread

[Alex]

This "star" is someone most basketball fans had never heard of (or, more accurately, had no reason to remember having heard of) and someone nobody who doesn't watch basketball had ever heard of.

That said, even as a bench warmer whose job is to commit a handful of fouls once a week most people would consider him to have a pretty sweet situation compared to the average person.

But if you want to go bigger, he's not just the first for the NBA, he's the first in any of the major American sports leagues (baseball, basketball, football, hockey).
