Fill out the Survey, Get Rotowired

Having run a survey for the Hoops Addict league, I was curious about how the rest of the world likes their fantasy hoops. Roto or head-to-head? What categories are important to you? Which website is your fantasy home?
Hence the Hoops Addict Fantasy Survey - Readers’ Edition. I know, filling out a list of questions is [...]

Celebrity-NBA Namealikes: The Musical

If Cars Were NBA Players

Have you ever seen a Chevy Trailblazer or Cavalier go by and wonder, “Are there more of those cars registered to Portland and Cleveland residents than elsewhere?” I do. (OT - It would be great to see statistics on this.) Then I realize there are other cars that remind me of basketball.

Secrets and lies! Secrets and lies! It’s all secrets and lies!
- Homer Simpson
