Jason Collins says he's been a target of gay taunts from one player

[Railgun]

From the moment he embarked down this trailblazing path, Jason Collins has said that he'd turn the other cheek when faced with ignorance, accepting that he can't control the words and actions of idiots.

He was tested once during his first month with the Brooklyn Nets, although the NBA's first openly gay player understandably doesn't want to give attention to the "knucklehead" or his comments.

After all, most everything else about his groundbreaking experience on the court and in the locker room has been positive. And Collins handled the negativity like he anticipated - with a silent disregard.

"One player, one knucklehead from another team," Collins said in an interview with the Daily News. "He's a knucklehead. So I just let it go. Again, that goes back to controlling what you can control. That's how I conduct myself - just being professional.

to narrow the search, maybe a pf or center? maybe Cousins?

unless he really means his first month, which was February and he only played 3 teams that month, LAL, POR, DEN.

Plot Twist: It was KG in practice.

Cousins.

Read the title and thought KG. After reading the quotes, then I thought Cousins.

Make KG an opponent and KG likely takes this anyway.

And lol @ "knucklehead"
