My wife played Fantasy Football with me this year, and she lost in the league semi-finals but also loved it. Since she really enjoyed it, I combined my love of cards with her new found love of her team and got her a card set of her team as a stocking stuffer. She loved it and it was pretty neat.
Well I told my brother about it, and he said it was neat. So neat, I guess, that he and my Dad decided to team up and do the same thing. So they went to a card shop in North Attleboro, MA and grabbed my current fantasy basketball lineup. Which is both awesome and impressive, because I trade a lot. Anyway, here were (at the time of purchase) my starting five players:
I kinda flipped the scan, but basically that's:PG: Chris Paul
SG: Wesley Mathews
SF: Kawhi Leonard
PF: Chris Bosh
C: LaMarcus Aldridge
A nice little lineup, with Bosh killing percetanges, Mathews killing 3's, Leonard killing steals, and Paul and Aldridge killing everything. Of course I didn't make it easy on my family, so right before Christmas I traded Chris Paul for Carmelo Anthony and Michael Carter-Williams. They caught it just in time but couldn't find a Carter-Williams card...but here's a Melo and my bench (at the time):
Here you've got David West, Tony Parker, Shawn Marion, and Larry Sanders (who I traded for as he is a blocks master). There's also that Melo and a Vince Carter, who actually is no longer on my team. Instead of Carter I now have Khris Middleton of the Bucks. I also put Melo on the IR so I was able to add Mario Chalmers. That said, this is still a very nice crosssection of my fantasy team, so well done Brad and Dad...you somehow kept up with my crazy moves!
