Jason Collins
In 2001, he was an All-American at Stanford University
Collins is perhaps best known for his historic decision to come out as gay in 2013, becoming the first openly gay athlete to play in one of the four major North American professional sports leagues. This courageous move came after the conclusion of the 2012–13 NBA season, when Collins was a free agent. His announcement was met with widespread support from the sports community and beyond, marking a pivotal moment in the fight for LGBTQ+ inclusion in professional sports. Collins' return to the NBA in February 2014 with the Brooklyn Nets further solidified his place in history, as he became a trailblazer for future athletes.
In addition to his contributions on the court, Collins has been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and has used his platform to promote equality and acceptance. His influence extended beyond basketball, as he was featured on the cover of Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World" in April 2014. Collins' legacy is not only defined by his basketball achievements but also by his role as a pioneer for social change, inspiring countless individuals both within and outside the sports world.
Collins' career and advocacy work have earned him widespread recognition, and he continues to be a sought-after speaker on topics related to sports, diversity, and inclusion. His story serves as a powerful example of courage and leadership, making him a role model for athletes and non-athletes alike.
