TMZ recently caught up with Dallas Mavericks head coach Mark Cuban, where he stated that he expects the NBA to welcome an openly gay player in the next three to five years.

"I think there'll be guys who'll come out of the closet and continue to play in the NBA and be accepted. After noting that he believes an openly gay player will come before a female coach, he added, it will be "more of a media sensation....than a player issue."

Do you agree?
