Poem: 'Sam I Am'

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- No better way to get you fired up for tonight's NBA draft than a Sam Hinkie poem. Without further a do, it's 'Sam I Am.'

 

I will believe in Sam I am

Build a winner I think he can

 

He will not talk before the draft

He will not frown he will not laugh

He will not do an interview

He will not talk to me or you

 

But I believe in Sam I am

I am still a Hinkie fan

 

He will check the numbers once or twice

He will look them over once more for thrice

He'll watch the tape once and again

He'll watch that tape that Sam I am

 

We all believe in Sam I am

I'll believe when I eat Raisin Bran

I'll believe with eggs and toast

I'll believe when I eat pot roast

I'll believe eating ice cream

I'll believe he'll build this team

 

Still no words, none red, none blue

No time, just watching tape of a wing named Andrew

Looking at X-Rays of Joel

Watching Parker get fat as hell

 

He's our man, that Sam I am

He'll get us a parade, I believe he can
