Collins first came out in 2013, writing an essay in Sports Illustrated. He began it with the words, I am a 34-year-old NBA center, I am black and I am gay. Two years later, in 2015, he spoke to Lee James on Sports World on the BBC World Service about the reaction to him coming out. My life is exponentially better and I didn't know what to expect.
kun tein annaus. Olen niin iloinen, ettÀ tuote on ollut siellÀ, ei vain minulle, vaan niin monille muille ihmisille. Ja tuntuu, ettÀ se on osa minun työtÀni nyt, on auttaa luoda tuota ympÀristöÀ niin, ettÀ muille atleteille tuntuu kestÀvÀksi jatkaan eteenpÀin. Ja jos suurin osa kuuntelee, hÀn tietÀÀ sinua asukkaalla. Oletko kestÀvÀ siitÀ? KyllÀ, tietysti. Se oli yksi iso asia, jota John Emichi sanoi minulle, ettÀ ennen minun iso annaus, kaikki
When they asked what was my reputation, my reputation was being the pros pro. A guy who would go out there and do the dirty work to help his team win. He said that overnight you're going to have to become comfortable with everyone identifying you as the gay basketball player. He said just because people slap labels on you, that doesn't mean that's something that you have to think that that's the one thing that defines you. That's not the only thing that defines me as being a gay athlete. There are so many other parts that make me unique.
ja tekevÀt minua erityisen, vaikka olen iso, olen Afro-amerikainen, olen gay, menen Stanfordiin. Olen ylpeÀ kaikesta, mikÀ tekee minua yksilöitÀ ja minua sellaisena, millÀ olen. Kuulin viimeisen kirjaston pelaajien jÀrjestelmÀllÀ, ettÀ kun olit tiimibussissa, kÀvivÀt jÀrjestelmÀllÀ ympÀrillÀ ja se pysyi silmÀllÀ, kun ystÀvÀ sanoi sinulle, ettÀ Jason, miten voimme koskaan nÀhdÀ sinut ei-yksilöiden kanssa? Oletko gay? Se pysyi silmÀllÀ. Miten se teki sinut?
Silloin tuntuu, ettÀ joku tappaa sinua sydÀmessÀ. Silloin tuntuu, ettÀ joku tappaa sinua sydÀmessÀ. Silloin en ollut valmis menemÀÀn ulos. Silloin en ollut valmis menemÀÀn ulos. Olin pelannut Atlanta Hawksista ja olin bussissa. Olin pelannut Atlanta Hawksista ja olin pelannut bussista. Olin pelannut Atlanta Hawksista ja olin pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut pelannut
He olivat vain ystÀviÀ, ja he tulivat kutsumaan minulle Atlantaan. Onneksi yksi tiimit tuli minulle, kun olimme bussissa, ja sanoi, ettÀ nÀin Jasonia. HÀn ajatteli, ettÀ se oli minun ystÀvÀni. Ei, hÀn oli vain ystÀvÀni. Se varmasti auttoi minua siinÀ hetkessÀ. EnkÀ muista, kun menin bussissa, ja kun pÀÀdyin kotiin, se oli todella vaikeaa.
Se oli todella vaikea eteenpÀin, koska silloin, kun se tapahtui, en ollut vielÀ kertonut mitÀÀn. Toivon, ettei jokainen muu tarvitse mennÀ eteenpÀin. Toivon, ettÀ jos joku kysyy sinua, ettÀ oletko sinÀ, niin sanoisin, ettÀ olen sinÀ. Tai jos se ei edes mennÀ niin hyvin, ettÀ ainoastaan annat sen, kuten minÀ tein Brooklyn Netsin 2014.
Se oli kivaa. TyöntekijÀt olivat voineet nÀhdÀ minua joukkueen jÀlkeen perusryhmÀn kanssa. Minun perusryhmÀni oli sellainen kokemus, ettÀ hÀn, kuten muut ihmiset, kÀy ylöspÀin heidÀn kanssaan. HÀn voi olla osa ryhmÀÀ, osa perusryhmÀÀ. Se on se, mitÀ olin voinut kokeilla viime vuonna NBAin. Se oli erinomainen kokemus, etten pitÀnyt pysyÀ huomioon, kuka olen.
And that was basketball star Jason Collins, who has died at the age of 47. And that's all from us for now. If you want to get in touch, you can email us at globalpodcast at bbc.co.uk. This edition of the Global News Podcast was mixed by Daniel Fox. The producers were Carla Conti and Siobhan Leahy. The editor is Karen Martin. I'm Jeanette Jalil. Until next time, goodbye.
This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.
I'm Janet Jalil, and in the early hours of Wednesday the 13th of May, these are our main stories. Donald Trump heads to Beijing in a visit set to test the fragile truce between the world's two biggest economies. The US president also says he's in talks with Cuba, which has been under pressure from Washington's oil blockade for months. We have the latest from the court battle between two of the biggest names in tech, Elon Musk and Sam Altman.
Also in this podcast, police in Sicily investigate illegal racing with horse-drawn carts and Kalashnikovs. After a one-time immune therapy, we have several individuals that are suppressing the virus long term. One individual is almost two years and another individual is almost a year. Researchers behind a new pioneering type of HIV treatment tell us how it works.
Donald Trump is on his way to China for a high stakes meeting with the Chinese leader Xi Jinping, where their talks expected to be dominated by two wars that have not gone the way the US president wanted. The war in Iran and his trade war. The first saw Mr. Trump delay the summit by six weeks in the expectation of a swift victory. Instead, he's now struggling to find a way to end Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
And the second saw him impose hefty tariffs on China and other countries only for them to be reversed or diluted. Before he left, Mr. Trump said that while he would have a long talk with Mr. Xi about Iran, he didn't need China's help to end the conflict. Well, I think number one, we're going to have a long talk about it. I think he's been relatively good, to be honest with you. You look at the blockade, no problem.
At dusk Chongqing's skyline flickers into life like a vertical neon display of China's ambition and technological power. It's been eight years since Donald Trump's last visit to China and he's facing a far more confident rival.
Here some had a message for the US president. I hope Trump can respect the common will of people around the world. He should know that we share the same world. He should not always put America first. This lesson for three and four year olds in Chongqing is part entertainment, part introduction to a future shaped by AI and automation.
And let's face it, there's just pure joy in watching a robot dance. China is investing heavily in robotics and coding. However, it needs America's help. Not just to buy high-end computer chips to help program the robot brain, but Professor Dawei from Tsinghua University believes that together the two superpowers could help mitigate the risk that AI poses in the wrong hands.
Elsewhere in the city cars are getting their final checks before being shipped abroad. This city is part of China's rise as the world's biggest car exporter. A challenge for a US president that's obsessed with manufacturing and the auto industry.
