2007 Basketball Action – Fantasy Basketball Extravaganza! is now available for sale online over at Statfox.com. Why should you care about that? Well, Nels and I were asked to contribute our vast fantasy knowledge to this year’s edition, so you know that means at least 50% more cheerleader talk over previous years. Now, you’re probably thinking that we already provide fantasy basketball insight on this very site for free. Why should you spend good money on something that we give away on a regular basis? Good question.
1. The magazine also contains great work from the crew at Dropping Dimes and the Fantasy Lounge. Now those are people I want to get fantasy advice from.
2. It contains all the information you’ll need to kick ass in a draft all in one neat package. Player ranks, sleepers, busts, rookies, breakdowns of big player acquisitions – it’s all there. That beats having to print crap off various websites.
3. There is a slick mock draft going 13 rounds deep. You can also see where Nels’ drafted Greg Oden mere days before his “exploratory surgeryâ€.
4. The player write-up on Mikki Moore is probably some of the greatest work I’ve ever done.
5. Having an actual editor means less distracting typos, more correct grammar usage.
6. Come on, look at the cover.
All that for only five bucks. That is one measly trip to Starbucks. If you’re looking for a fantasy basketball magazine, you could do worse than the Extravaganza. It’s available online at the moment, but it should also be hitting newsstands soon as well.
