John Amaechi’s Man in the Middle, the memoir of an NBA misfit.

Subject

Sports; Basketball

Description

NBA journeyman John Amaechi’s coming out has already spawned hundreds of rote conversations about homophobia and sports. Beat writers have probed players about how they’d deal with a gay teammate, producing few revelations other than that Shavlik Randolph probably hasn’t attended many LGBT barbecues. Whether it’s a mark of progress or the triumph of collective cynicism, Amaechi’s confession has mostly been seen as either an attempt to sell his memoir, Man in the Middle, or an irrelevant, self-indulgent gesture.
