Who’s The Best Fantasy Basketball Player?

With the basketball season about to start, many fantasy basketball leagues have begun to form. Some are in the midst of drafting as we speak. If yours is coming up, I hope you should be lucky enough to end up with a top pick. If you are, there are some great options this year.

There are great players to choose from, there’s no doubt about that. However, I see how it can be a difficult decision, and I’d like to help you out a bit. Let’s take a look at the potential contenders at number one this year.

If you’re into the idea of getting an elite point guard, you’ll have to look no further than Chris Paul. No basketball player has been more effective than Paul during the last two years.

Paul’s well rounded game gives you stats that you’ll typically get out of no other point guard. The most assists in the NBA, the most steals in the NBA, and a point guard who shoots over 50% are all really hard to pass up on.

If you’re looking for someone bigger, there’s always LeBron James, thought by many to be the best ordinary basketball player. LeBron’s well-rounded style suits fantasy teams really well. No forward gets more assists than James does.  Read more...

Choosing The Right Headphones

The current world is dominated by the Generation Y, which is a generation of young people going around with technology. For example, it is difficult for us to walk around the town without seeing young people and even some young-hearted older people clinging with their iPods, walkmans and phones. We are hard to be separated from our technology

First is the budget, of course. You should be willing to spend a little bit more if you wish to have the best model. Headphones are just like speakers, only way smaller. Better quality headphones may cause more, but it also might lasts longer from the ones that you can find at the flea market. However, you can still get good quality secondhand headphones from night markets. A good haggling technique may safe you some money too.

We have a lot of different designs of headphones for different needs of users. Some like their headphones to be an art statement, some like to keep their headphones to the minimal aesthetic, but preserve the quality. Satisfying each consumer’s preferences and favourites makes the designers to work extra hard just to get the unique and state-of-the-art designs.  Read more...

Be A Better Player By Chosing Your Perfect Tennis Racket

Selecting the right tennis racket is very important. It can have a positive impact on your game and give you more confidence, as well as eliminate the possibility of injuries further down the line. There are hundreds of different rackets on the market, but once you narrow them down to those that are best for your playing style and skill level you should be able to find your perfect racket.

Power rackets are ideal for players with short or narrow swings, generating a fast ball speed off the racket. They tend to be lighter than other rackets and because of the higher manoeuvrability of a power racket they are ideal for serve and volley players.

Serve and volley players will need a light and manoeuvrable racket. A power racket will be ideal for them as it generates a high ball speed off the strings. If you have a short or narrow swing, opt for a power racket that can generate a high ball speed off the racket.

Players that don’t have a problem generating power will benefit from a control racket. These rackets tend to produce a slower speed off the strings and as such they will compliment your playing style and give you more control to go with your power.  Read more...

My Experience At The Chris Paul Basketball Camp

It was just a quick three-day camp but it was an amazing learning experience for those who were there. Chris Paul, along with Jim Stoll and the coaches from around the metro area, teamed up to help kids develop their games.

The camp was divided into two age groups. One for kids 7-10 years old (this was in the morning) and one for kids 11-18 years old (this was in the afternoon). One of the best things about the camp was the fact that Chris Paul really did get personal with everyone there.

Every single person there got to see CP3 himself giving speeches and pep talks. Most of these were stories about growing up, his time with the Hornets, and his experience in China with the US national team last summer.

The groups would do scheduled drills, working on skills such as post play, shooting, ball handling, rebounding, and setting picks and screens. Whether you were just beginning to play basketball, or you have been playing for a while, you picked something up at this camp. It may have been a new offensive move, better skills at a given aspect of the game, or just the advice from other coaches on how to improve one’s game.  Read more...

Create Your Own Fantasy Hoops Luck By Following These League Draft Tips

Fantasy basketball has been growing in popularity over the past few years. There’s less luck involved than in fantasy football and its not nearly as long a season as fantasy baseball. For these reasons, fantasy basketball has become my favorite fantasy sport to play.

Of course luck has a role in fantasy sports, but you want to maximize your chances of doing well by having a solid draft. Here are some tips to follow.

I would say the two most important stats to after are blocks and assists. There are only a handful of players who do either very well and if you have someone who is top 5 in either category, you are in good shape.

If you have a top five pick in your draft, here would be my recommended order for the 2010-2011 season: Lebron, Durant, Wade, Chris Paul, Dirk.

So when it comes to assists, here are the top 5 players to go after. Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo, Deron Williams, Steve Nash and Chauncey Billups.

If you are looking for someone who blocks well, Dwight Howard is far and away the best. His free throw percentage is extremely detrimental to your team though, so I’d go for someone else like Pau Gasol or Lamarcus Aldridge.  Read more...
