His career is pretty much over so coming out now will give him little to no negative repercussions. On top of that he never was very relevant to begin with.

Pretty much. Anyone who follows the NBA or pro sports in general would know this. It's a lot easier for a  34-year-old journeyman free agent who was never that good to begin with to come out of the close than for a 22-year old youngster full of potential and a ton of years in the league ahead of him. I'm waiting for a gay athlete to tell the world either at the beginning of his career or in his prime.

I'm waiting for that too but at least it's a start. Hopefully, it'll inspire other athletes to come out.
