December 7. The NBA is about to be rocked by one of the biggest scandals in league history. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that a prominent member of the New Jersey Nets has admitted to his family that he's bisexual.

In an exclusive interview, MediaTakeOut.com spoke with a friend of the family who claims the player "came out" during a recent trip home. According to our source, "when [the player] came out of the closet, everyone was shocked ... we would always see pictures of him with models. No one suspected that he was into men."

And what's more shocking, tells our source, is that the NBA player has entered into a romantic relationship with one of his childhood friends. The tipster explains, "the two boys were friends since childhood ... when [the player] went to the NBA, he brought along [the friend] as a personal assistant." The tipster added, "I don't know how to feel, I love them both but something doesn't seem right about them being together like that."

And the source tells MediaTakeOut.com that the NBA star's relationship with his former pal appears to be serious. The source explains, "[the player] could have kept it quiet and nobody would have suspected. He came out because he wanted us to accept his relationship." The source added, "those two have been friends for many years .. if their relationship is anything like their friendship, its got to be serious."

The NBA player, who is African American, has been linked to a number of women in the past - all of whom are Caucasian. He is also known for enjoying the night life with his teammates and good friend Tyson Beckford.

For legal reasons, MediaTakeOut.com has decided not to print the name of the player.

I guess that explains why he has the gayest tattoo on the planet, but seriously how reliable is this publication anyway?

I don't believe it, not that it's unbelievable, I just don't find MediaTakeOut.com to be a legit source. If he came out of the closet, then why don't they mention him by name in the story? Sounds shady.

I think it sounds shady as well, never heard of the source

Damn, the girl in that photo with RJ is almost dangerously thin. I'd say she's there already.

"I read" an estimate where up to 10% of the pro leagues is gay, that's 40 - 50 NBA players. WGAF

I thought that everyone always knew that RJ, Mobley and Francis were among the gay (or bi) NBA players.

Francis/Mobley obviously have a "special" relationship. Both are married w/kids iirc. Doesn't mean they aren't bi but I never heard that they were other than assumption.

Is Cuttino married? I know Francis is married with kids. That doesn't change my opinion about him though.

I always thought that was based on fan rumors and random speculations....

It is. :lol

"I can't put it into words. Playing with a guy, living with a guy, just knowing that every day when I wake up that's something I can count on, that I'm going to be in practice or in a game with Cuttino. Him not being here is going to be tough for me. I don't know what I'm going to wake up for."

On January 28, 2005, Mobley's home was burgalized. Thieves stole $500,000 in cash, jewelry and other items from Mobley's Bel-Air home. Some of Steve Francis' possessions were stolen as well, as they were in Mobley's home at the time.

Kori, with all your insider knowledge, you need to convey more sarcasm in your original posts because I was ready to write that down as doctrine and lament the fact that I didn't know that information was public already... but we've said RJ was gay for years, and that's coming from the kid who watched him play in High School in Phoenix and knew it back then.
