Inside The NBA: While discussing Jason Collins' passing, Charles  Barkley:
"We live in a homophobic society ... anybody who think we ain't got a bunch
of gay players in all sports, they're just stupid."

Via @ESPNNBA

Kenny Smith:They were just two really good basketball players... one really
good basketball player. His brother is now... he was just an unbelievable,
like I said, soul and understanding what that moment was.
他們曾是兩位非常優秀的籃球員……一位非常優秀的籃球員。他的兄弟現在……他就像
我說過的，擁有那種令人難以置信的靈魂，並且理解那個時刻的意義。
(Jarron現在是鵜鶘隊助教 也打過NBA，兩人是雙胞胎)








And you say 13 years ago, I tell well, what's the big deal if somebody said
that they're, you know, openly gay? What's the big deal? Well, 13 years ago,
it was a big deal.
你提到 13 年前，我會說，如果有人說自己公開出櫃，有什麼大不了的？有什麼大不了
？但在 13 年前，那確實是一件大事。

And the reason why it doesn't feel as big now, at times, is because of people
like him. And so, kudos to him.
而現在之所以有時感覺不像以前那麼嚴重，正是因為有像他這樣的人。所以，向他致敬。

Charles Barkley:Yeah, but Kenny, in fairness now, if another guy did it, it
would still be a big deal because we live in a homophobic society. And that's
unfortunate.
是的，但 Kenny，公平地說，如果現在再有另一個球員這麼做（出櫃），依然會是一件大
事，因為我們生活在一個恐同的社會中。這真的很不幸。






That's why, first of all, anybody who think we ain't got a bunch of gay
players in all sports, they're just stupid.

really unfortunate.
但社會對同志族群依然存有這樣的敵意，這真的很令人遺憾。

But anybody think him, and I know a couple other soccer players have come out
,if you think they're not more gay players in the NFL, Major League
Baseball, and the NBA, you're just stupid.
但任何以為，像他，或是像我知道有幾位足球員也出櫃了，如果你認為在 NFL（美式足
球）、MLB（大聯盟）和 NBA 裡沒有更多的同志球員，你就是愚蠢。

Ernie Johnson:I didn't know Jason very well, but on the occasions where I
would see him at certain events, guy was just nice. He was just a gentleman.
我並不深交 Jason，但在某些場合見到他時，他總是非常友善，他是位謙謙君子。





And a guy firm in his beliefs, and a guy who really, through his words and
through his actions, has told us all: You don't have to live in the shadows.
You do not.
他對自己的信仰非常堅定，他透過言語和行動告訴了我們所有人：你不需要生活在陰影中
。你真的不需要。

And he said, your life is so much better when you just show up as you.
他說過，當你展現出真實的自己時，你的生活會變得美好得多。
