December 7. The NBA is about to be rocked by one of the biggest scandals in league history. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that a prominent member of the New Jersey Nets has admitted to his family that he's bisexual.

In an exclusive interview, MediaTakeOut.com spoke with a friend of the family who claims the player "came out" during a recent trip home. According to our source, "when [the player] came out of the closet, everyone was shocked ... we would always see pictures of him with models. No one suspected that he was into men."

And what's more shocking, tells our source, is that the NBA player has entered into a romantic relationship with one of his childhood friends. The tipster explains, "the two boys were friends since childhood ... when [the player] went to the NBA, he brought along [the friend] as a personal assistant." The tipster added, "I don't know how to feel, I love them both but something doesn't seem right about them being together like that."

And the source tells MediaTakeOut.com that the NBA star's relationship with his former pal appears to be serious. The source explains, "[the player] could have kept it quiet and nobody would have suspected. He came out because he wanted us to accept his relationship." The source added, "those two have been friends for many years .. if their relationship is anything like their friendship, its got to be serious."

The NBA player, who is African American, has been linked to a number of women in the past - all of whom are Caucasian. He is also known for enjoying the night life with his teammates and good friend Tyson Beckford.

For legal reasons, MediaTakeOut.com has decided not to print the name of the player.

Developing...

I'm going to easily guess RJ.

Stoney and Wojo were talking about this yesterday. The story mentions Tyson Beckford, who apparently attended a boxing match with Vince Carter recently. That's all I heard.

I Googled: Richard Jefferson Gay - and found this... (http://www.gaypasg.org/GayPASG/PressClippings/2005/Nov/Male%20Athletes%20Aren't%20Ready%20for%20Gay%20Tea mmates.htm)

The locker-room truth, as told by Richard Jefferson of the New Jersey Nets, is that athletes shower and dress in communal spaces and that many would feel uneasy about doing so in front of a gay teammate.

The first openly gay male athlete will have to be a respected superstar, Jefferson said, likening it to Magic Johnson announcing that he had contracted the virus that causes AIDS. If there's an athlete thinking about coming out, Jefferson offered this how-to:

"You would have to approach your teammates and be like, 'Look, this is who I am. I don't like any of you. I'm not trying to pick up on any of you,' " he said. "Would it make people feel uncomfortable? Of course it would."
He definitely takes it in the jaw.

i read a good article by someone on page two where they were raving about 'the wire'. the article talked alot about omar, for those who dont know, a gay badass on the show (and he's very vividly depicted as gay with gay seens and all).

omar is gay, but he's also probably the most liked charachter on the show.

the reason (according to the writer): omar doesnt hide the fact that he's gay, he doesnt appologize for being gay. he doesnt care what you think about him being gay.

being gay is an issue because it is percieved as being a weekness (or something).

Omar on The Wire is all kinds of awesome.

I don't get the big deal. It's not like they are engaging their partners in front of us, so I just don't understand why so many people are afraid of gay people. But it is how it is.

I gotta think its RJ, all puns aside

if I was gay in the NBA, i'd constantly use it to fuck with people's heads. whisper in their ears about how I'm gonan fuck em up the ass and grab their balls and such, goad em into throwing a swing and getting kicked out.

I'd wait for the playoffs though.

Obviously Reggie Evans is posting as metr0man.

definitely RJ if this is all true. although vinsanity is such a softy sometimes with his 'injuries' you have to wonder if he has lost his manhood and maybe it's him.

BTW- i realise i'm stereotyping and there are plenty of tough gay men who are not soft at all.

it's RJ not that there is anything wrong with that

Maybe its just me but I always see vince getting real close to t-mac in pictures...

Dude they're cousins

It could be Vince though.

Dude had to work real hard to get his nuts in Freddie's face back in the day.

Why bother? Grab a cheerleader and lift the bitch.

after much deliberation, its not vince. its a K year, so he's not costing himself money.

its whats-his-face from uconn. thats why he fell to 21 in the draft. concerns about sexuality. should have seen it a mile away.

he looks uninterested in that girl like she's fucking up the shot.

Yeah I noticed that too

What about Rasheed Wallace? Someone on here has a picture of him licking some reporter's neck. That's pretty openly and blatantly gay if you ask me.

"Some reporter" was Reggie Miller. The video is even funnier than the picture:

My sense is that this woman:

would kick Sheed's ass 5 ways from Sunday if he were cheating with anyone else -- be it a man, woman, or even an NBA ref (which in Rasheed's universe is categorized as "other").

I didn't know Sheed was banging Mary J Blige.

You know, I'm looking at that picture of Jefferson, and I'm positive he's gay.
I mean, look at him: He's grown his hair out, he's wearing a fucking bikini, and he's hugging some dude.
I don't think there is any doubt about it: He's a fag.

The guy he's hugging is male model Tyson Beckford, the guy mentioned in the anonymous "outing" of RJ. Quite indepedently of any association with RJ, he's had people's gaydar going off for years.

Personally, I don't give a flying fuck about it, as long as it doesn't fuck up our team somehow.

I don't think it'l fuck up our team, but I do think that somehow Nets fans will blame the Pistons that RJ is gay.

Well, he did say that Chauncey "undercut" him.
