Cubs Destroy NBA's Frank Kaminsky After He Sported Steve Bartman Jersey
By Stephen Gossett in News on Oct 18, 2016 4:19PM
With the team just three wins away from their first World Series appearance since 1945, Cubs fever, you may have noticed, has blown to the level of full-scale pandemic. (Even this Cardinal-fan writer is wishing them well.) Still, some remain stubbornly immune—and none more proudly so than Charlotte Hornets center and noted White Sox booster Frank Kaminsky.
The Lisle, Illinois native taunted Cubbie Nation by sporting a custom-made Steve Bartman jersey around Chicago this weekend while he was in town for preseason basketball. He even dared to don the uniform in the heart of enemy territory.
Kaminsky had the Bartman jersey made yesterday and wore it on a Wrigley rooftop last night. "Not too many people were happy."

“It’s my stance, how I feel about the Cubs this year. I don’t want them to win,” he grumbled to CSN.
But as Fox Sports posted, the Cubs seem to have got the best laugh, when the official team Twitter account went in on Kaminsky and his brave-but-less-than-inventive sartorial dig. Here's the blow-by-blow:
