MIAMI, FL - Apparently John Amaechi's coming out party won't make a stop at Tim Hardaway's house any time soon. You see, Tim's not a huge fan of gay people. He's not exactly mincing words here.
"You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known," Hardaway said. "I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States. And second of all, if he was on my team, I would, you know, really distance myself from him because, uh, I don't think that's right. And you know I don't think he should be in the locker room while we're in the locker room. I wouldn't even be a part of that"
We're not exactly sure if this is what Amaechi had in mind a week ago when he became the first 6'10'' British-born NBA player to admit his gay sexual orientation. David Stern has already pulled Hardaway from some of the all-star festivities this weekend in Vegas for his callous remarks. Even John Rocker thought Hardaway was being a little too homophobic. Anyone else really excited to see what Barkley says about this tonight on TNT?
