Brooklyn Nets: We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Jason Collins . Jason spent eight seasons in a Nets uniform, helping define an era of our franchise and playing a vital role on our back-to-back Eastern Conference championship teams in 2002 and 2003. He was a constant in our locker room - selfless, tough, and deeply respected by teammates, coaches, and staff alike.
Those who were around Jason every day knew him not just as a competitor, but as a genuinely kind, thoughtful person who brought people together.
