Publicist Howard Bragman, from a Los Angeles-based company called Fifteen Minutes, was spreading the word at the Leigh Steinberg Super Bowl party Saturday that a former NBA player he represents will be announcing publicly that he is gay on Valentine's Day.

I read on another forum that the guy coming out retired 3 years ago and his book is named Man in the Middle and its coming out (no pun intended) on February 20th.
Info from the book:
An inspiring memoir by a former NBA star who is gay. Man in the Middle chronicles one man’s extraordinary journey from an awkward, overweight child to a jet-setting NBA star. Along the way, he encountered endless obstacles to achieving his hoop dreams—his father’s abandonment, being cut from his first college team, a life-threatening injury, abusive coaches, the death of his mother—all the while protecting a vital secret that could end his career. He was gay.
Oh yeah, smart money is on John Amaeche. Amaeche was at Vandy before finishing up at Penn State.
