    OT: Who's gay in the NBA?

    You gotta assume there are at least 30-40 of them. Who are they? I'm sure the players themselves know. McGrady says he's seen it first hand! (http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-118835361.html)

    Gossip? Rumors? Anyone?

    This list cracked me up:

    http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/sports/76759-ten-most-likely-gay-ballers-nba.html

    1. Iverson himself. This one’s easy. The man has ***gots on his mind too much. Could it be the 160-pound mama’s boy is just a little too sensitive about things?

    2. Dale Davis, Portland. Too tough to be real. Gotta be an act. Nobody puts on that much thug drag unless they’re auditioning for the TV show ``Oz'' or a real life Oz.

    3. Magic Johnson, ex-Laker. Do you really believe he’s the most unlucky straight ho’ that ever walked the planet? Pul-lease. Cue the Thompson Twins …. lies, lies, lies.

    4. Isiah Thomas, ex-Piston, current coach, Indiana. When’s the last time you saw two straight American guys kiss like Isiah and Magic kept doing during their NBA finals match-ups? The guy reeks “little bottom boy.”

    5. Mark Aquirre, ex-Maverick. Eighties star who never reached ultimate potential and slipped away quietly. The third part of the Magic, Isiah triumvirate. Led the three in hugs, kisses, and slaps on the ass.

    6. Vince Carter, Toronto. Take off the blinders that say “superstars can't be gay” for a second. Watch the dude talk. Then sing Madonna’s “my baby’s got a secret.”

    7. Tim Hardaway, Miami. Not too different from the bruthas one might run into at any black gay club on a Saturday night. Opposite of Dale Davis. Not really trying to be tough. Just himself.

    8. Penny Hardaway, Phoenix. Something in the Hardaway water? On a recent MTV ''Cribs'' episode, he gave a tour of his mansion in Arizona. Not a woman’s touch in site. You keep getting the feeling something was missing. Similar to the feeling one got watching the ``Ellen'' series before she came out.

    9. Glenn Robinson, Milwaukee. It’s possible that Ballin’ has some actual evidence on the former Mr. Indiana basketball, but this is a light-hearted, fun, wishful-thinking column, right? We don’t really mean any of this; it’s all in fun, counselor Cochran.

    10. Vin Baker, Seattle. His middle name is Lamont. Enjoys singing in his father's church choir. Not that we’re stereotyping or anything.

    whats wrong with this post? theres nothing whatsoever to talk about right now. roys status is up in the air and kpee is nowhere to be found around the deadline when it comes to blazer moves.

    2 things that are as sure as daylight

    not to mention you guys have started a mixum thread thats has all most 2000 reads and is compared to a tv show (24).... lmfao i think that tells you how boring things are right now

    The rumor I heard a few years back is that there was someone who was/is gay on the Blazer roster. Zbo would taunt and tease that person mercilessly. Finally Roy got pissed off and jumped in Zbo's face and told him to knock it off.

    so what other stupid off topic stuff should we introduce to make this a lousy forum for BASKETBALL fans to visit? You seem to be an expert on that type of thing.

    I don't understand what you want here.

    If this thread didn't exist... the board would be better?

    It would be better to have nothing for people to discuss than something you don't find interesting?

    KG sure loves slapping ass. You can tell he wears the pants.

    But really i doubt there are 30-40 of them that would be 1.333 players per team. The number from studies is 2-13% homosexual so the middle ground is 7.5% with teams carrying 15 man rosters. Using these numbers it would seem like there would be closer to 25 homosexual players. If i was to guess I would estimate under 20 over 10. Seems like this might be the reason Lamar got married so quick the boys in the locker room were giving him smack for being single.

    yes, I come here and I think most others do to discuss basketball, not sexual preferences of players. If it's slow then let it be slow, and maybe you should reflect on WHY it's slow? Perhaps because more and more of this off topic crap is brought up? And if you like this kinda stuff posted here then have at it and watch this board get slower and slower. My 2 cents

    It's slow because it's the all-star break. It's slow because no Blazers player is participating.

    It's slow because we haven't had much new happen (other than new injuries) in a while.

    It's slow because many of us had the wind taken out of our sails this year due to injuries.

    It's slow because almost no one here thinks Pritchard will make a trade deadline deal.

    It's slow because the team has no cap space this summer.

    It's slow because, whether the team makes the playoffs or not, we will have a mediocre first rounder and we will be quite likely to be bounced in the first round.

    These are the reasons I think it's slow: the team (and many of its fans) are in a "wait" mode that can't be sped up or argued away.

    I don't think it's slow because of a thread or two a day that not everyone is a fan of.

    Re: OT: Who's gay in the NBA?

    Why?

    Your list sounds like wish-fullfillment to me, and probably written by a gay man with personal fantasies about the players.

    Re: OT: Who's gay in the NBA?

    I was waiting for someone to say this. God forbid the guy who asks is gay.
    So I'm curious, how many straight women in the WNBA?

    Personally I find this place way less interesting because of the dominance of threads started by a single individual intended to rile people up. If you enjoy getting into heated arguments about ridiculous arguments then it keeps your interest.

    Also, why is this "NBA gay players" thread not in the actual OT Forum?
