John Amaechi, who released the book "Man in the Middle,'' last year, becoming the first player who was at one time was associated with the NBA to come out as being gay.

Amaechi is at the Olympics, serving as a basketball analyst for his homeland Great Britain's BBC. His appearance has caught some in the NBA establishment by surprise.

"It's been tense to say the least,'' Amaechi said when I ran into him in a lunch line about what it's been like being seeing some Team USA players and coaches.

Amaechi said players have turned away from him, and there remains a "lot of tension.'' He mentioned seeing Lakers star Kobe Bryant.
"I ran into Kobe, and he was surprised to see me,'' Amaechi said. "It didn't go well.''

"I had passed some of the coaches in the MPC (Main Press Center) the day before, catching only the trailing end a statement of the coach who saw me, "... isn't that Amaechi? What the is he doing (here),'''

Amaechi writes in his blog. "I was a little irritated. I couldn't help but wonder if that was the way they would have reacted to another former NBA player they recognized passing shoulder to shoulder a world away. Even an average one.''
