This was my first Sixth Man Jam. Here's some generic info for anyone wanting to try this:

• Get there 2.5 to 3 hours early. There are approximately 15K season ticket holders.
  
  
• Each signing table (may be a single or multiple players) has 300 "tickets". When the tickets are gone, the line is closed. If there are tickets still available and it's 1 hour after the gates opened, the lines are closed.
  
  
• There's about 12 signing stations (±2). 12 stations x 300 tickets ≈ 3,600 autographs. That means that only 24% of the people through the front gates gets an autograph. Get whatever you can. Be happy with it.
  
  
• Make sure your ticket is printed clearly. If you can't get scanned through, you will jam the entrance.
  
  
• Bring as little as possible. This will get you through security faster.
  
  
• You will receive a paper map of player's locations about 15 minutes before the gates open. Prepare for a plan B or a plan C. Getting the player you want may not happen.
  
  
• For the highest quality signature, bring your own markers. Use a DecoColor oil-based paint pen for basketballs, jerseys, canvas prints, matte prints, and plastic items. Use colors that create contrast. For anything glossy, use a Sharpie.
  
  
• Take a picture of the player signing your specific item. Keep as much evidence (receipts, brochures, tickets) as possible for documentation.
  
  
• When you hand your item over to the player, it's fast and frantic. Keep an eye on your item and make sure it doesn't make contact with an uncapped marker already on the table.
  
  
• If you get a jersey signed, prep the number area. Use an iron (set on low) and ironing paper (so the metal doesn't make contact with the patch). When the number is cool to the touch, lightly apply hair spray from a short distance. Coat the number area, fan dry it. This will stop the marker from bleeding and keeps the signature sharp.

That's exactly how I started. Laying around somewhere is a picture of me in my bumper jumper intently watching Jordan and the Bulls beat the Chuck-led Suns in the Finals. Merry Christmas and I hope you have an up and coming Bulls fan on your hands!

Bill has a good book on Kindle full of stories from the second 3-peat Bulls teams. It's a good read I would recommend it

1. Chicago
   
2. I spend far too much time on reddit, browse this sub a few times a day.
   
3. I've been subscribed for a few years. I've been on reddit since before subreddits existed and I've never modded before, which is why I'd like to give it a go. I have plenty of time on my hands, and I watch most games. Even last season.
   
4. I can't think of any needed changes. The sub serves its purpose.
   
5. I have a general IT background. Some programming, some basic web development.
   
6. I'm taking time off work right now (aka unemployed) and coincidentally have been learning python. Currently working through projects from Automate the Boring Stuff with Python to fill in gaps in my IT knowledge. I don't have any experience with PRAW or reddit scripting, but it would be a great resume padder if there are any projects I can learn from and contribute to.

Don't know if it's out there for free, but here's a really nice collection of movies and games (including the flu game). I think there is a blu-Ray of it as well!

Well here ya go. For the low price of $177, it's yours. Obviously it's not every single game (that's a bit ridiculous and would be about 2000 discs), but it's a very great set. I got this when it was around $40 on release a few years ago, but haven't seen it for less than $100 for quite a while. It's very rare/limited.

I got a Wacom intuos tablet but it’s a bit on the expensive side. I really enjoy it though.

You can read Sacred Hoops by Phil Jackson too. It's great.

Here ya go. I actually own the same own, and it is quite comfortable.

Got it on Amazon last year but it shows as unavailable right now. I'm sure you can find it online somewhere.

Oh yeah! I found this neat one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00K24XRT0/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1422730071&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=bulls+beanie&dpPl=1&dpID=51CCCpD%2BSpL&ref=plSrch

I must warn you .. they are available for ANY series so there's ALWAYS something you like .. once you start - you're gonna spend lotsa money ..

edit: DAMN it, I clicked /u/obamafish's link below and found this https://www.amazon.com/Funko-Flavor-Flav-Rock-Pop/dp/B004QK53SE/ref=pd_sim_21_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=41foAxufqZL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR123%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=DKG8SFEFPX1ABRRV4JYG

I will counter that Jordan turned on Brown later on. Jordan went from being a supporter to being ruthless to him later on. The perception was Kwame Brown wasn't putting in the work and he's lazy, disengaged, etc. In my opinion I think Jordan still helped ruin him. Jordan went from his best supporter to one of his worst enemies later on. What you quoted here seems to be in between.
At the end of the day the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Kwame isn't the first teammate Jordan was ruthless against - he's an alpha male that tests everybody, including Robert Parish.
