Whether it’s your favorite team, or a team that you hate, every game will matter now as most of your line-up will come from different teams of the NBA. Suddenly, every game turns into a make or break game 7 as you aim to get to the top spot with your assembled team. You will be forced to watch the games of teams you would usually not care about since some of your players will be involved. All in all, it makes you more attached to the NBA in general.

Competing in Fantasy NBA means that you have to learn to compile the stats of your players. This means keeping track of the number of Field Goals, Assists, blocks, steals and all other aspects of the games. This will give you a better understanding for the numbers of the game.

If a player in your team has a stellar game, regardless if he is from your favorite team or least favorite team, you get to actually feel the player’s accomplishments as it reflects on your teams standing for the week.

Playing fantasy gives you another reason to talk trash to your best friends. If your team comes up on top this week, you earn the right to talk trash since you put together the best team. It’s not always going to go your way though so if you can’t take the heat, don’t stay in the kitchen.

Whether it be the “Steel Panthers” or “I love cheeseburgers”, take your team all the way to the top and cement yourself as the champion of season. The freedom to choose your own team name gives you individuality and bragging rights at the end; if you win.

If you and a group of your friends join a league, chances are there will still be available slots for other people to join. These slots are usually occupied by people that you don’t personally know. Since the league runs for a year, this gives you the chance to compete with strangers and eventually become friends with them in the process.

In most cases, leagues require players to buy-into the competition. This means that the winner of the league takes home the pot! The fact that money is involved makes playing in a Fantasy extra competitive.

  Assuming you like both sports just as much, what makes one better than the other? I would love to know.

    Since he called it crap, I’m guessing he either doesn’t care much for the nba, or he can’t break down a players stats. Personally, I’m a HUGE nba fan, a HUGE college basket ball fan, then it’s college football then the nfl. I watch 3-4 nfl games a week (go panthers) but the weekly leagues do make it a little easier to keep track of.
    I wouldn’t say that the nba fantasy league is crap.. it just takes MUCH more responsibility, time, and organization.

      Its exactly what he said. Thank you Mr. Philips for pointing out the major flaw of NBA Fantasy League.
      
      I still like the NBA and been a long time fan of MLB. But couldn’t stand those fantards so gaga about the NBA fantasy league. So many joined but couldn’t expand their awareness that there are weaknesses in NBA fantasy. There are sports that can be better or worse than NBA. They just couldn’t care except basketball, and basketball.
