It's that time of year again for NBA Basketball and NBA Fantasy League. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, advanced, or wondered about playing, you should give this league a try. Mostly, it is to have fun, but there is some spirited competition involved, too. See how good of a GM you are with picking up players through the draft, waivers, or via trade. You never know who or what is waiting out there. If you are going to games and stuff, then it's a great way to follow your team and players as you'll have a personal stake involved. Of course, bragging rights goes along with the teams and managers who finish in the playoffs and win, place, or show. Last season, we had Custodianrules2, MFP!, and NYC Swag Swishers finish in the top three. Any questions or problems, post them here.

We got six teams now. Still got room for another six. The league is set up for beginners as luck is involved in some of the categories and has eleven cats to the standard 9-cat league. The league does well for managers who have played for a while, too, i.e. the competition knows their players. Still, every season is different and rookies come in and take over or a guy like Aaron Afflalo surprises.
