I understand that he only played six games last season and averaged only 1 point per game..... He’s history and looking for a new way to redefine his ego!
Oops... that was 2 points average. He was 1 for 6 on the shots.... Here are his career stats from the NBA:

Near the end of a lackluster career, future uncertain. Hey, tell everyone I’m homosexual, get some headlines, maybe get a few ad contracts.... Nothing to loose.
And if no team hires him, he can now file a discrimination suit against the NBA, since he's in a "protected" class.
Just what any NBA team does NOT need- a locker room distraction.
