Most of us do this for fun and the intense competition. Sadly, while fantasy basketball is the third most popular fantasy sport, most of the readers here and the blogs assosiated with GMTR consider it the best bar none. When I hear about how popular fantasy football is, I laugh. Its not even better than baseball to me. All football does is hold together my group of 13 other managers until registration time for basketball is here. Im just glad to be in leagues and comment in blogs where others commentors love the game of basketball as much as me.

What Id like to know is how far will we go to make sure we make the draft, or make time to search through match.com err…I mean the FA pool. Since Fantasy basketball is so important to us, what are some of the biggest events, social gatherings, childrens birth, coitus with a loved one, your own wedding, that youve put off to make sure you were at a draft, or at home on a sunday night to see if your team got the 71 pts, 13 rebs, 23 ast, 3 stls, 4 blks to come from behind in a given week. Have you ever stayed up to 4am est when yahoo’s “new day” starts and a player would turn from waiver to FA to grab a guy who you didnt want to use your #4 waiver on, but knew he would be gone by 8am that morning if he was an FA. <—-(damn, im pretty sure thats a run-on sentence) So my contest would be to write a story on the above.

Ive been told by a few girlfrieds that Im OCD about fantasy basketball. To be honest, I thought there may be some validity to that until I ran into the readers at GMTR and theres so many more. I notice that there is a small family of bloggers and readers that feel the same way I do about basketball, and fantasy basketball. I was doing a mock draft yesterday at a friends house and he looked over and saw the google spreadsheet up and said “its too early for that”. I laughed and thought, maybe it is, but theres 12 other guys who like mock drafts as much as me. I use to enjoy reading mock drafts, but to participate and give my own individual breakdown is great! Ive always thought that I could write abetter breakdown of playres than some of the crappy fantasy magazines out there. Im going to make a post about something silly i saw in one of them yesterday.

A super-deep league might be fun.

PS

even if your caption sucks. if you find a really funny ass photo. that should also count for something right? like i said. instant entertainment. <3

yeah, a deep league would be a test. Getting Chris Paul with my first pick and Tyson Chandler with my second pick, sweet!

A 30 team league where Shaun Livingston might be a player to watch? Count me in for either league.

@amit, not sure what b.d.w means, but yeah, it’ll be a live draft. When we’ve sorted out who’s in what league(s), I’ll email to try to figure out the best possible time for the majority of people.

Hi Nel, just gave you my email address .

thanks!

BTW, when will the draft be, around what time will it be held? if it could be on a friday or saturday morning-noon, i would be very grateful, but if not, thats fine.

@Daniel R: I tried your email address and it got sent back… your comment was erased on Thursday, so I don’t have it to double check… can you post another comment with your email in the email address field of the form?

Thanks!

There it goes, interested in either Readers or BIGOL Readers leagues.

Thanks.

damnit. my contest was wicked awesome.

Prefer NOT to be in regular non-insane big 20 team league.

Wilson, I had you down as a ? for the Monster League, so I didn’t send you an invite to that initially. I have now, but it’s already up to 16 people, so if that’s too big for you then, you don’t have to join. We didn’t get quite enough people for two 12-team leagues, though.
