As most of you already know, I am a NBA fanatic. Last year I was too late to participate in the fantasy season, so this year I pounced on the opportunity immediately. I am not someone who joins a league for money or to compete with friends. I enjoy joining a random public league and battling it out with complete strangers. This season I started paying too much attention to the names of the other teams in my league. I have become so obsessed by these ridiculous names, that I have started wondering if there is some sort of hidden strategy behind them.
First of all, I am the only female manager and I have a kickass team. I know it’s early and I am probably headed for a huge fall but so far I have been on top. It helps that I have Kobe, Kevin Love, and D. Rose. The name of my team is Whatev (this is a word I used to say a little too much and also the name of my jewelry line). While this is far from the best name ever it reveals something about my personality as well as my interests.
Listed below are the other names of fantasy teams in my league. I am going to make my own hypothesis about the brilliant strategy behind these 11 team names.
Whitey Ford – this guy is a huge baseball fan probably from NY (since that is where Whitey played) or a racist.
Slammer – this is the quintessential fantasy basketball team name that lacks true vision. It’s like naming your cat, Kitty.
Bulls – this name obviously lacks creativity. He is probably a Bulls fan from Chicago. He has Noah on his team. BORING!
Squirrels – hmmm… his team is small and quick, he likes furry animals, gathering nuts, and Richard Gere.
Throbbers- this sounds like a nasty porn name. I bet this guy spends a little too much time on the Internet.
Jaden- I see him as the quiet sensitive type instead of having a tattoo with his son’s name on it, he names his fantasy team after his kid.
Stormtroopers- Best name by far. I love this geek wherever he is. He is my new hero. Hopefully he will climb the fantasy ranks as long as he stays below me. After all he does have Kevin Durant.
Philippine Crusaders – This guy is from the Philippines and he is passionate and dedicated to his team. Right now they aren’t very good. He has the Baron Davis jinx.
Lakers – once again lack of imagination. I understand you are a Lakers fan. I am too but can’t you come up with a better way of expressing it? The Kobe Beefs or something? Btw he doesn’t even have any Lakers on his team (I have 2).
L. James Champions – the worst name yet. Only a d-bag would name his team that. Guess who isn’t even on the team? He doesn’t have LeBron but he does have Wade. He must be from Miami. That is the only place left that actually likes LeBron.
Beast – I actually don’t know what to think of this one. It’s probably some kinda inside joke. His team is decent but for some reason he is in last place. Let’s hope that Beast takes out the L. James Champions on his way up.
May the best team win or Whatev!
