Some Things Are Just More Important...

What happens when an Englishman (whose TV programming includes cricket, rugby, and Monty Python, but not a trace of NBA basketball), sets his sights on winning a fantasy hoops title?

Find out as Rob Donald relates his trials and tribulations in an irreverent look at our hobby from the other side of the big pond!

Ha! Very nice article.

Choosing the fantasy league was classic. Who wouldn't?

I even liked the "putting the apostrophe in the wrong place" part. Maybe Englishman fantasy geeks just write better than American fantasy geeks.

Rob is new to the Cafe; he's registered as Fantasy Rob.

I'm already looking forward to his description of his draft...

Sorry to hear the bad news, Rob. Or might it actually be good news for those who get to read about it...?

Nice write Rob! Good luck this season!

And don't worry, some of U.S. folks don't get to watch hardly any games either (aka "dad with two young children"). I think I made it to all of one NBA game (Wolves) last year and was able to watch about 30 minutes of baskeball highlights all season.

Trust me when I say that you can be successful at fantasy basketball by simply analyzing stats, reading the newspaper/magazine/web and visiting this cafe!
