Mitch Albom Responds

Mitch Albom, who along with Alan Shore (character on "Boston Legal") is one of my favorite people, wrote this column in response to Tim Hardaway's comments about having a gay teammate.

All of this started, in case you've been living under a rock, when John Amaechi, a retired NBA player, came out on ESPN and in his new book. Ever since then reporters have been asking various coaches and players how they would respond if someone came out while still actively playing in the NBA. 99% of people have spoken tolerance (who knows how they'd actually react), but Tim Hardaway decided to show his true colors on the matter.

Mitch, you're so amazing... keep you witty humor and pointed insight - it's perfect!
