For those of you who just can't get enough of Jason Collins, we have some GREAT news for you! There are TWO of him! Well, sort of…

Jason and his identical twin brother Jarron Collins had us seeing double when they made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about the big guy's life since becoming the first openly gay player in a major U.S. men's sport!

But before the NBA center came out to the rest of the world, he says had to let his brother in on the news first. Although Jarron was a bit caught off guard at first, he says he has nothing but love for Jason:

"Oh come on, he's my twin brother. Of course I'm gonna be supportive of him all the time. That's just the way it is."

Awww! Nothing like a little brotherly love to warm our hearts!

Ch-ch-check out the rest of the clip (above)!

The big news has of course had a HUGE impact on Jason's life, but it's also affected Jarron as well. Mainly because he gets confused for his brother ALL the time!

We're just guessing here, but it might have something to do with the fact that they look EXACTLY the same! LOLz!

So to help avoid any confusion down the road, Jimmy brought a little gift for Jarron to make sure people know who's who!

See the HIGHlarious present for yourself …AFTER THE JUMP!!

Seriously, who ISN'T Dennis Rodman friends with??

Kendall and Kylie Jenner were at the Brea Mall to debut their new PacSun clothing line and sign some autographs when they got a surprise visit from the former wedding dress-wearing NBA superstar!

Dennis has been busy playing a foreign diplomat and making nice with his good pal Kim Jong Un, but it looks like he decided to take some time away from his new BFF and do a little shopping!

We're not quite sure what urged him to pay a visit the model sisters, but we're guessing there may have been a little confusion when he heard Kim's younger sisters would be at the mall! LOLz!

What better way to get on Jimmy Kimmel Live than to make all kinds of professional sports history?? LOLz!

Jason Collins is going to be sitting down with his twin brother Jarron, and Jimmy on May 15th. They'll probably talk about favorite movies, basketball, being twins. You know, normal stuff.

Oh, and probably the fact that Jason is the first out and proud NBA player!

Kimmel is Jason's first late-night show. How did he land him? Ohhhh we don't know, maybe because ABC and ESPN have a lucrative NBA deal — with Jimmy doing primetime specials during the NBA Finals and all! Ha!

We can't wait to see what Jimmy has in store for you guys on May 15th! Have fun!

The first openly gay man in the NBA wants you to read his words — Jason Collins is seeking a book deal!!

Apparently he's writing a memoir, though we're not sure if we really want one yet… unless he promises to publish ANOTHER one after his career as an out-and-proud-gay-man is over! Seriously, his crazy story has just begun!

Regardless, three different publishing houses are reporting that they've been contacted by him
