Proud of @jasoncollins34. Don’t suffocate who u r because of the ignorance of others #courage #support #mambaarmystandup #BYOU

I’m proud to call Jason Collins a friend. wjcf.co/154piCi

On the topic of Jason Collins I really don’t care and frankly why should anyone else.The HERO worship is out of bounds.I’m glad he is happy.

Here’s what Kevin Durant had to say after Monday’s shoot around. (HT to NEWSOK)

“If the guy’s happy, whatever he does, that’s cool with me,” Thunder star Kevin Durant said at Monday’s shootaround. “Jason Collins, playing against him, seems like a great guy. Never got the chance to know him. But if he’s happy, that’s cool. Nobody has any right to judge. He’s his own man. Makes his own decisions. As NBA players, it’s like a big group of guys, kind of like a brotherhood. I know I support him. Like I said, I don’t really know him, so whatever decision he makes is something he really thought was good for him. Nothing nobody else can say about him. As long as he’s happy, it’s cool.”

I am so proud of my bro @jasoncollins34 for being real. #FTheHaters bit.ly/12J9el5

I don’t Jason Collins personally but he seems like a great guy. Me personally gay men in the locked room would make me uncomfortable .

— Larry Johnson (@TheRealLJ2) April 29, 2013

Ppl ! this is nothing against Jason or homosexual’s,all I’m saying is this don’t belong in a man’s locker room.

— Larry Johnson (@TheRealLJ2) April 30, 2013

Jason Collins showed a lot of courage today and I respect him for taking a stand and choosing to live in his truth. #nbafamily
