Jason Collins was the first professional to make his homosexuality public. He is seriously ill eleven years after his end of his career.
The American ex-basketball player Jason Collins, who was the first professional of the four great US leagues in 2013, must undergo treatment for a brain tumor. This was announced by the NBA, for which he is in action as an ambassador, on behalf of the 46-year-old family.
“Jason and his family are happy about their support and prayers and ask politely to respect privacy, since they concentrate entirely on Jason’s health and well -being,” the explanation also says.
Collins played in the North American professional league for the New Jersey Nets, Memphis, Minnesota, Atlanta, Boston, Washington and Brookly. He ended his career in 2014.
