Unlike some other prominent athletes, the basketball player Derrick Gordon decided to come out as gay while still playing in a college division. While he wasn’t selected in the 2020 NBA Draft, he does play for the Gladiators Trier, a professional team based in Germany.
In 2014, Gordon became the first athlete to play an NCAA game after coming out of the closet. In one of his many interviews on the subject, he assumed that he was inspired by other gay athletes, especially Jason Collins.
