In keeping with SB Nation’s innovative use of social media in reshaping sports journalism, our vision is a women's basketball site that goes beyond merely providing game reports; instead, we want to capture the narratives that fuel our passion for the game, while maintaining the critical stance that helps us understand the game better.

This is more of an extension of what Brittney Griner's coming out has. And in light of the fact that more Big Four league players may come out soon, at least now they aren't along when they do.
I'm happy for Jason, and though I don't think he will be back on the Wizards for the 2013-2014 season given that Nene Hilario and Emeka Okafor have most of the minutes in the post, this decision wasn't easy for him in terms of being the first current NBA player to say so, but at the same time, everyone should feel free with being who they are.
