Takeaways from the 2024-25 fantasy basketball season: Minutes are gold, depth matters

I’ve been playing fantasy hoops since the late 1990s, but then I was playing in casual leagues with friends. It wasn’t until five or six years ago that I got “serious, serious” and entered my first NFBKC league. I’ve grown so much since then — albeit with lots of pain and some heartache. But the journey has been wonderful because my process has become more refined, and my skills have grown.AdvertisementNothing beats experience, but experience means nothing unless you get something from it. In this piece, I’ll go through the leagues I played in this past season, show how I did and expound on the lessons learned.Before I get started, I want to provide some background. I used to read articles, watch games and review box scores. I knew hoops — or at least I thought I did — especially […]

Name-dropped today: Elly De La Cruz, Aaron Leanhardt, Serena Williams, Ted Sarandos, Olivia Miles, Cooper Flagg, Coastal Carolina, Trae Young, JuJu Watkins, Ernest Hemingway and more. Let’s go:Driving the Conversation: Two big questions about MLB’s ‘torpedo’ batsSimilar to how Hemingway described bankruptcy in “The Sun Also Rises,” innovation in sports — especially baseball — happens “gradually, then suddenly.” Once the low-payroll A’s use a spreadsheet to walk into the playoffs, everyone else creates their version. Barry Bonds crushes with maple bats, rather than the traditional ash, and everyone goes maple (until birch supersedes maple). Analytically edgy teams deploy “the shift.” The shift gets banned for being too […]

Der Nationalspieler hatte den unbedingten Wunsch, die Premier League zu verlassen – am Ende passierte aber nichts.Tonali lüftete jetzt in einem Interview ein Geheimnis.

Euro zum FC Bayern wechselte!Im Sommer 2020 wusste Tonali nicht, welchen Weg er in seiner Karriere einschlagen sollte.

Tom Brady puts himself at risk with AJ Brown gift that has fans wondering if his Eagles exit is imminent

No NFL team can keep all of their players from one season to the next. It's especially tough for the franchises that have had a ton of sustained success, as the great players that help them win games demand more money from them or other teams. The Philadelphia Eagles are in that position, but they've found smart ways to keep their roster stacked.The team has seen some turnover on the defensive side of the ball, but they brought back breakout EDGE player Zack Baun. On offense, the team lost Mekhi Becton and could very well lose Dallas Goedert as well, but the player to focus on has been A.J. Brown. Brown has had some clashes with coaches and teammates, although they mostly come from him wanting the ball in order to put up points on the board. Still, his antics […]
