Jason Collins was a trailblazer in the NBA as the league’s first openly gay player, and Jason Kidd felt lucky enough to call him a friend. Collins died Tuesday at 47 after a fight with Stage 4 glioblastoma. The late NBA center played eight years with the Nets and overlapped for seven years together as players before Kidd coached Collins for one season in 2013-14.
