Frank Kaminsky is Engaging the Chicago Cubs in a Twitter War ... And It's Hilarious
Former Badger basketball player Frank Kaminsky shows how easy it is to pick on Cubs fans.
WISCONSIN -- Former Wisconsin Badger men's basketball mega-star and part-time goofball Frank Kaminsky is mixing it up with the Chicago Cubs.
It all started when Big Frank wore his "Bartman 44" jersey to the game the other day. Steve Bartman caught a foul ball during a playoff game back in 2006, right in front of the outstretched arms of a Chicago outfielder.
Cubs fans who think Bartman was to blame for the Cubs losing the playoff series to the Florida Marlins are the butt of jokes for smarter baseball fans.

The Cubs retort was much milder than the fans who literally wanted to tear Steve Bartman to shreds after the fateful playoff incident

Been there, done that, say the Cubs:
@FSKPart3 *Yawn* You already did that joke.

Kaminsky replies accordingly, dropping a Clayton Kershaw on the Cubs (Kershaw helped the Dodgers defeat the Cubs 1-0 in game 2 of the NLCS)

The Cubs, meanwhile, deliver a haymaker on Big Frank, who stayed his senior year at Wisconsin only to lose in the NCAA finals to Duke.

And like many good plays, it all ends on the obvious joke, this time courtesy of Frank:

Kaminsky is now the backup power forward on the Charlotte Hornets basketball team. He's making about $2.7 million next season. In his rookie year last season the 22 year old from Lisle Illinois put up 7.5 points, 4.1 rebounds in just over 22 minutes per game.
