I always thought of Stedman as an honest, classy guy. He's 6-7 or 6-8, athletic, serious and a well spoken gentleman. He was a natural leader, even on our traveling team that has a lot of leader types on it.
In our league, he chose to play on the team with the worst players. He didn't want to play on our team because we were stacked already. I always remember how he was able to motivate the other guys, and get them to play their best through positive coaxing and direct, simple, but effective coaching.
To the insinuations of whether he's gay or not, I would say I doubt it. He's not ostentatious, nor does he engage in a lot of small talk, so I can't say I know him as any more than an acquaintance/teammate.
