MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Former Miami Heat big man Amare Stoudemire was asked about the possibility of having a gay teammate, and his response has caught many by surprise.

“I’m going to shower across the street, make sure my change of clothes are around the corner,” Stoudemire said in an interview with Israeli website Walla Sport. “And I’m going to drive — take a different route to the gym.”

Stoudemire plays for Israeli professional team Hapoel Jerusalem.

During an interview with members of the team, they were asked if anyone would have an issue with a gay teammate.
