    You do realize Derrick is getting paid by the Russian government, right? (As are nearly all pro athletes in Russia).

    Where's that taken? Looks like the have a full lower bowl, premium suites with no one watching, and then people in the upper deck.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    That's his home arena in southern Russia. Seats 7,500. Probably 6,000 there for that game. Have no idea what the deal is with the suites. Can't recall having seen people in them during other games.

    Is the whole suite area reserved for government officials? That might explain the empty seats.

    Maybe. I know the club doesn't own the arena. The local government does. So maybe they get them or maybe they just never bothered to finish them inside.

    I heard Derrick got locked in his locker room and busted his way out.

    Update on D-Brown - looks like some of the top teams in EuroLeague are after him after another solid season. $1.8 million US last year? Not too shabby.
