"When kids aren't able to come out, I know why. It’s a scary thing. That's one of the reasons I’m doing this. I want to give kids some courage and someone they can look up to. If I can come out and play basketball, then why can't they do it? I want to be able to help those people."
This quote is especially nice - while he obviously can't 'help' all the kids personally, the more athletes [that are actually gay] that come out, the better...good for him.
