Due to popular demand, the NBA has made openly gay Jason Collins' Brooklyn Nets jersey available at their online store.
Via ESPN:
The jerseys were available at NBAStore.com and the NBA Store in Manhattan after the league received hundreds of inquiries both online and at the store, the spokesman said.
Collins signed a 10-day contract with the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, becoming the first active openly gay player in league history.
The Nets can give Collins a second 10-day deal once the first one expires.
He will wear No. 98 -- starting Wednesday night at Portland -- in honor of Matthew Shepard, a student at the University of Wyoming who was tortured, beaten and murdered in 1998 in an anti-gay hate crime.
For $70, you, too, can have Jason Collins' jersey. Check it out here.
