With the NBA season finally commencing on Christmas Day, today was fantasy basketball draft day for the ten person Baylor Med c/o 2013 league. Here’s my lineup:

If you’re even remotely interested in the NBA, you’re aware of the unusual outcomes of this playoff season has presented. First, its been close to 30 years since the #1 and #2 seed lost their playoff openers at home. Come to find out, both these teams (the Spurs and Lakers) were ultimately knocked out of […]

I was one of a dozen participants in my class to take part in an NBA fantasy league draft this evening. Though I’m a huge NBA fan, this is my first time to actually partake in fantasy sports – hopefully it won’t be too much of a distraction from studying.
