My basketball fantasy team is terrible.

I’ll be the first to admit it. I finished second out of twelve last year with my Lebron-led team in my pool with some friends and friends of friends and friends of friends of friends, so there’s at least some precedence of competence. I had initially regretted choosing Shawn Marion with my first pick (third overall), but it turned out well. He’s averaging like 22, 12, 2, 2, 2, shooting over 50% from the field! That’s arguably been better than Garnett this year (who averages 3 more assists with slightly better %’s, but no threes), who’s generally the consensus #2 pick. So that’s some genius drafting right there.

It’s unfortunately the rest of my picks weren’t that great. I don’t remember the order of the picks, but here’s some names – Larry Hughes^IL, Peja Stojakovic^IL, Corey Maggette^IL, Marcus Camby^IL, Stephon Marbury^IL, Tyson Chandler, Kurt Thomas, and of course – Quentin Richardson. I essentially drafted every underachieving player in the entire league. And yes, I essentially drafted three Knicks as well.

Though I did draft JO and managed to swing him and Bobby Simmons for Bibby and Al Harrington before he got injured. So that’s not too shabby.

Kill me now.

My hockey fantasy is the opposite though. I stupidly blew my first pick (fifth overall in a six team pool) on Sundin, but the rest of my picks were solid enough to put me on top.

And registration for fantasy baseball starts in February!

I promise never to talk about any of my fantasy sports teams ever again.
