Hello all. First time posting.

A former NBA star will *allegedly* be coming out soon. On February 20, 2007, Hyperion Books will release a book titled, “Man in the Middle: My Life In and Out of Bounds.” The author is currently listed as “Anonymous.”

Here’s a brief summary:

An inspiring memoir by a former NBA star who is gay.

"Man in the Middle" chronicles one man’s extraordinary journey from an awkward, overweight child to a jet-setting NBA star. Along the way, he encountered endless obstacles to achieving his hoop dreams—his father’s abandonment, being cut from his first college team, a life-threatening injury, abusive coaches, the death of his mother—all the while protecting a vital secret that could end his career. He was gay.
