Rockin' Steady — ... That kid actually wasn’t one of us, but a hilarious young dude named, I believe, Sivan Yacobian from Great Neck, NY (he was mentioned in Ben Collins’ Slam Online article). He was wearing a Kurt Thomas jersey (respect) and has been one of our biggest fans. I saw him at the ticket line at 6 am, and then later, at the draft, he offered Derrick Rose candy in what was an inspired move (even though it wasn’t Gummi Bears). Anyway, we were also going after Rose some, but not as effectively as this guy. ...
