Another non-story.

According to this press release, er, article, John Amaechi is gay.

Here are my thoughts on this situation:

(1) It is pretty shameless, the way ESPN has been promoting this story, considering the fact that ESPN is also the publisher of Amaechi's book.

(2) In the article linked above it states that Amaechi felt that Jerry Sloan hated him. Maybe this was because Sloan is a demanding coach and Amaechi was one of the worst players in the NBA.

(3) The only possible angle to this story that might be of any importance is how Amaechi found himself fitting into the hip-hop culture that permiates the NBA. Anything outside this is a waste of everyone's time.

(4) Amaechi should give the proceeds of his book back to the teams he played for to make up for all the money he stole from them.

(5) He says he knows of other gay players in the NBA. Here are my guesses: Luke Ridnour, Lindsey Hunter, Primoz Brezec, Mike Dunleavey, or Al Harrington.
