Jason Collins checked in with just over two minutes left in the 96-80 Brooklyn Nets win over the Chicago Bulls to a standing ovation from the crowd, becoming the first openly gay athlete to play in Brooklyn.
Within three seconds of entering the game, Collins committed a foul on Bulls forward Taj Gibson.
It was perfectly Collinsian. Revel in this historic moment.
