I, for one, like it when athletes are thoughtful, nuanced and honest. It makes for good discussion and it helps us think about what is really going through their heads.
Bradley Beal is, based on all my interactions with him, a thoughtful, honest and nuanced young man. We shouldn't confuse dialect for intelligence, but Beal has a knack for conveying his thoughts well in public appearances. This was no different when 106.7 The Fan asked him about how he'd respond if he had a teammate like Derrick Rose that didn't come back from an injury in the intended timetable.

Jason Collins would always make excuses for why he wasn't interested in the women his twin brother and sister-in-law would set him up with on dates.
Jarron Collins still never figured out that Jason was gay.
Jarron joked Wednesday on ABC's ''Jimmy Kimmel Live'' that he missed ''red flags'' about Jason, who recently came out as the first active gay male athlete in one of the major U.S. sports.
The brothers, who played together at Stanford before playing in the NBA, appeared together on the show and discussed how Jason finally let Jarron know after being hesitant for so long.
''He's my best friend and any time you come out to someone, you always have that apprehension that they're going to reject, even though I knew that that wasn't going to be the case,'' Jason Collins said.
Jarron was supportive but said he botched his response at first, saying things such as ''Are you sure?'' and ''Since when?''

Despite being medically cleared to play in March, Rose decided to keep himself out, and has taken some heat for it. The criticism swelled when the injury-laden Bulls made, and then were knocked out of, the playoffs without Rose stepping onto the court once.

NBA twins Jason and Jarron Collins were on the Jimmy Kimmel show, and Jarron told a story about someone approaching him while he was at a urinal in an airport, and someone confused him for his brother Jason.
As you probably know, Jason is the first openly gay athlete in a major American sports league, and Jarron is his identical twin brother.
In other news, Jarron is heterosexual.
So Jimmy Kimmel hooked him up with a shirt letting everyone know, since Jason Collins' story is one of the biggest recent stories in sports.
Based on the interview, it seems as though Jason Collins will handle things pretty well, if and when he's signed with a new team.
We'll see if he gets the chance. In case you missed it, here's the interview with the two brothers on Kimmel's show:
