Isaac Humphries, former University of Kentucky men's basketball player, became the only openly gay player in the National Basketball League, Australia's top league.
Humphries released a video on his Twitter account Wednesday in Australia (Tuesday evening EST) where he sat down with his Melbourne United teammates and told them he is gay and attempted to take his own life a few years ago.
"You can be 'Big Ice' and be gay and you can still be a great basketball player and be gay," he told his teammates. "You can do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with your sexuality or who you are or who you're meant to be or who you're expected to be.
