It has been documented that Amaechi was treated differently in Utah because of his sexual orientation. When I read the line in the article it was the only connection I made.

I admit I was ignorant and had know clue about the Amaechi/Sloan relationship.

Gerald I’m sorry for calling you out.

How is that Amaechi line homophobic in any way? Amaechi wrote a book in which he slammed Jerry Sloan. His point was that Sloan doesn’t hold grudges and would even coach a guy who talked shit on him.

Are people really this stupid?

What’s wrong with Mentioning John Amaechi. Everyone knows he and Sloan left on bad terms with Meech decided he was gonna persue a career in poetry over basketball and pretty much loafed his way through his contract.
Sloan doesn’t care if he’s gay. Sloan just wants him to put in some effort! That’s it.

Just cos John is gay, doesn’t mean that if someone disses his game he’s being homophobic. Dude had one good year. He was terrible the rest of the time.

Wow. Prolly should just said “Greg Ostertag” rather than “John Amaechi”.

well, post#19, i think etan thomas and foyle actually plays with some heart – they’re just not that gifted with moves or much skills like your prototypical NBA center…

but still, gotta agree with AB… the amaechi line being more associated with sexual preferences rather than a underachieving nba player says a lot

YEAH…guys who think the Amaechi line was about his sexual orientation need to check themselves and also stop always trying to be politically correct…Amaechi was a baller with less heart 4 the game than Mark Blount, Etan Thomas, or Foyle, the latter two are nice guys and would rather be poets like John Amaechi…

@Gerald — I think it’s more telling that you said something about Amaechi and people assumed if must have been a gay joke or something homophobic, as if being gay was the only defining thing about Amaechi.
