Finally, an NBA player is going to admit to being gay, and it looks like it is probably Vince Carter or Richard Jefferson.

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.

Jason Kidd.

That's why he used to beat his wife.

Just in case you were talking serious, "The NBA player, who is African American"...

Though I think it's Richard Jefferson...

Jason Kidd is African-American. Moron.

I dont know he could be 50/50.

I'm thinking it's Richard Jefferson. He's been in Men's Health magazine, and he seems like the guy who would be around models rather than Kidd, who's married and doesn't look like a guy who's fit to be a model.

If it was Vince Carter instead of Jefferson, that'd be better.

Edit: Looking at the site, I gotta admit the credibility factor isn't too high.

by **Indy** on Sat Dec 09, 2006 5:32 am

This could very well not be true though. I was looking through that site, and it isn't the most credible one in the world. We'll see if we see anything else about it.

50% American and 50% African.

Seriously, he is a "brother", just like Mike Bibby.
Their skin tone just isn't "black" enough.

If Jason Kidd is white, he would have won MVP a long time ago, twice, when he led the Nets to the Finals.[/racist joke]

Prominent African American member of the Nets....

- Jason Kidd

- Richard Jefferson

- Vince Carter

- Jason Collins

- Marcus Williams

Not so African American...

- Richard Jefferson

- Vince Carter

- Jason Collins

- Marcus Williams

Too new...

- Richard Jefferson

- Vince Carter

- Jason Collins

Not prominent enough...

- Richard Jefferson

- Vince Carter

Hmmm....

Richard Jefferson has a funny voice. Vince Carter has always seemed like a bit of a fag. I can't decide.

I doubt it's true though.

...who cares?

by **Chris_23** on Sat Dec 09, 2006 6:00 am

My guess is that all this fuss is not true. But if it really -is- someone, it must be RJ. No disrespect to the player, but I just think Carter is too alpha-male for such and other than these two I don't think anyone's prominent african american Nets player.

Then again, one may never know. I still think it's a madeup rumour though.

by **Drex** on Sat Dec 09, 2006 6:04 am

...who cares?

I think most of the players would.

On RealGM, a poster made this joke:

This makes the Nets the best come from behind team.

LMAO

Why? Just curious.

Now opponents will have second thoughts before posting-up with their back against the Nets.

That brings a new meaning to the phrase "put the ball in the hole."

mediatakeout.com is pretty much tabloids mixed with real news.

Just look at some of these articles.

Well I think it might actually be Vince Carter. Here's a photo I found (it was on one of those candid photo websites or something... could be photoshopped, i dont know).

by **Andreas Dahl** on Sat Dec 09, 2006 8:26 am

That's a real photo, but, so...?

Still, I bet about 5-10% of the players in the NBA are bisexual or homosexual..

by **Cornerthree** on Sat Dec 09, 2006 8:59 am

You know it's not the picture that causes the thoughts, but the filename "cartergay4iz7.jpg"

by **BOSS** on Sat Dec 09, 2006 9:04 am

I don't think it's Richard Jefferson.
He has a girlfriend/wife.
Carter has a wife.
Kidd has a wife.

by **dada** on Sat Dec 09, 2006 9:13 am

Jason Collins is my bet.

by **nets4life** on Sat Dec 09, 2006 9:30 am

Mikki Moore (Y)

altho he doesnt seem to the calibre of player who would be seen with models

Indeed. In a normal world, we shouldn't even care about anyone's sexual preferences. Stupid media.
