Former NBA All-Star Amar’e Stoudemire is taking some heat for comments made in an interview with Israeli site Walla Sport.
Stoudemire currently plays for the Israeli professional team Hapoel Jerusalem, and in the interview he and members of his team were asked if they would have a problem with a gay teammate.
While the other players in the clip had responses like, “I wouldn’t have an issue” and “I wouldn’t have a problem,” Stoudemire responded quite differently.
“I’m going to shower across the street, make sure my change of clothes are around the corner,” he said.
