Jason Collins, the first openly gay player in the NBA, died following a “valiant” battle with Stage 4 glioblastoma, his family announced Tuesday.
Collins was 47.
The ex-Nets player and 13-year NBA veteran had revealed his diagnosis in December in a piece published by ESPN. Stage 4 glioblastoma is one of the deadliest forms of brain cancer.

Terrible. RIP to this man. May his family be comforted.
Too young. Horrible diagnosis. Prayers for him and those he has left behind.
Way too young for anyone to die
A childhood friend of mine in the neighborhood died of that back in the 70’s, he was only 22.
I have a friend (age 61) who was diagnosed with the same disease about two months ago. The doctors have given her 12 to 18 months. She's dealing with it far better than I could.
Jason Collins is now in a better place.
Prayers for your friend.
Thank you. She’s a very nice person.
Probably not
You obviously got up on the wrong side of the bed today.
Dr William Makis has had very good success treating glioblastoma with repurposed drugs.
He’s given new life and much hope to several with this dreaded diagnosis.
Well, that sucks.
Has she heard about Dr William Makis?
He has treated several gioblastoma patients, with very good success, using repurposed drugs that Big Pharma fights hard against anyone having access to.
He’s in Canada but treats cancer patients from all over the world, with his specific protocols. He posts patient testimonies and protocol meds on his substack and on X. He’s treated thousands of cancer patients.
He’ll soon be moving to and opening a FL clinic.
Prayers for your friend.
I don’t know whether she’s heard of Dr. Makis, but I’ll pass on his name and the positive info you’ve given me. Thanks very much and thanks for the prayers for my friend.
Lots of people die every day. Most of them we don’t know about because they haven’t played basketball in the National Basketball Association or come out publicly declaring they are gay or died of a brain cancer. One particular person has played for the National Basketball Association with the distinction of having publicly declared that they enjoy having sexual relations with other males. We would not be talking about this person if he hadn’t been a basketball player that told the entire world that he enjoyed having sexual relationships with other men. This is the only reason why we are talking about him except for he had brain cancer which sucks for sure. He was a lackluster basketball player because if not for his penchant for having sex with other men while playing basketball he would never have had any fame at all. Other people die of brain cancer and the only people that talk about them are friends and family members.
If he repented and put his full trust in Jesus Christ, he’s in a much, much, better place that is incomparable to our current state.
If not, he is in a state so unspeakably bad and it will never get better. Not even the smallest grace of a puppy’s breath will reach him. Even the best parts of his soul testifying to common grace will be stripped from him.
From total depravity to utter depravity, in an eternal state.
Indeed but a 29 year old NBA player Brandon Clarke also just passed away.
