And if yes, has there ever been an openly and/or obviously queer NBA player?

I've confirmed that a certain John Amaeci (unsure if that is correct spelling) is gay.

Yes, there are and have been, it does not affect their playing ability.
And they keep their personal lives to themselves....
Unlike the drugs, women, child molesters, adulterer, and dirty players ....

Yes, they are allowed in the NBA. John Amechi said he knew a couple of them in the league that were gay but will not come out of the closet because of the harassment it would create for them. Charles Barkley said he knew of a couple of gay men when he played ball. So yes, they are allowed in the league.

I think if they are 'physically man', they are allowed even though they are gay. However, haven't seen any queer NBA player yet.

You haven't heard the news an ex-NBA player wrote a book saying he was gay.

I have never heard anything against it, but I have had my suspicions about Rip Hamilton on the Pistons. I see no reason why there would be a restriction on sexual orientation though.

Why, are you planning on joining the NBA?

I would say so, since you have guys kissing each other on the mouth right on camera...
