It's official downlow brotherhood has been declared by former NBA baller John Amaechi... here is an excerpt from an article about him in 2001 ... it's like the reporter was already hip ...
"Erudite Orlando center John Amaechi relishes his standing as the most unique player in the NBA
HE CARRIES A LAPTOP COMputer almost everywhere he goes, updating his Web site regularly. He reads books on child psychology. He visits art galleries and museums. He looks for seminars to attend when his team has an off-day on the road. He writes poetry--and he writes it well.
Yes, John Amaechi plays basketball in the NBA, but he isn't really a basketball player. He is a Renaissance Man. The Orlando Magic have uncovered a real breath of fresh air.
Amaechi is bidding to become one of the better centers in the Eastern Conference this season, yet basketball actually bores him. He would rather be talking French with Atlanta Hawks center Dikembe Mutombo than talking trash with Detroit Pistons center Eric Montross.
He would rather be sipping tea in his favorite coffee shop than scouting one of his rivals on television. His life is too short to be consumed by a game. There is little passion to his play, but a wonderful love for his life.
"Basketball does not define me," he says. "It's my occupation for now, but it's not my definition."
Raised in Manchester, England, he is the first player from Great Britain to play in an NBA regular-season game. And he also is arguably the league's most intellectual player."
I bet you every player he ever took a shower with or recieved the pat of the rear from is furious!!
So British of him to be into buggery!!!!
