Video: Uncle Drew Goes to Chicago

It must be Christmas for commercials starring our fave nba stars.  Early this morning there was the Lebron 'Rocky'-like Nike ad, then Blake Griffin teamed up with that weird guy from 30 rock for another Kia commercial and then Pepsi decided to release part III of the Uncle Drew Series.

Wont spoil the deets of this video, but if you caught the premise of the 1st one and the special guest in the 2nd, be prepared to be entertained by more sweatpants-wearing pretend oldies.

Do You Know This NBA Player: Probably Not Related to Justin Bieber

In an effort to recognize all bajillion nba players in the league, when I randomly see nba guys dressed up in ways that make them hard to distinguish, I will share the photo and a contest out of it.  Comment if you know who is in the photo.  Prizes are available, but not that great.

Here is a nba dude that decided to dress up as the Biebs for some early Halloween celebrating.

First person to comment who this is, is really good at not being thrown off by sandy blonde wigs:

HINT: He also makes for a good valentine card meme

Sophomore Year of Hoopology

Hey Hey Homan League members and all others.  Hope you're as excited as I am for another season of basketball.  I know you're probably wondering what this is so please allow me to do my very best to explain.

1) My name is Benson and for as long as I can remember, I've had but only 2 hobbies: making jokes and loving basketball.

2) Last year, in an effort to mash up these two interests of mine and also to  make the fantasy basketball league I was involved as fun as possible, I started this blog.  I decided to chronicle the nba and fantasy basketball season as much as I could while still holding down a full-time job and not upsetting my extremely beautiful and even more gracious girlfriend fiancee (yeah, i know. go me).

3) I really didn't know what I was doing most of the time, but I found that I really did enjoy highlighting things that were happening both in the NBA and within our fantasy league as you can see by the archives.  I wrote a extremely  long-winded explanation  about why I was doing this and posted a lot of sillyness; sometimes with photoshop and sometimes with poetry and sometimes with both.

4) If you choose to visit the blog, what can you expect? 

I will post photos/gifs/videos/tweets/vines/etc about what's happening in the NBA as filtered by my feedly account and goofy brain.  Recommendations are welcome and hoped for.

I will recap things happening in the 'Homan League' such as free agent pick-ups/trades/DNP's because someone went to the movies on Friday night and forgot to set their lineup for the early morning ABC game on Saturday.

5) If this isn't your cup of tea, then s'all good man, no kevin-love lost here. Enjoy the season as you normally would.  If it is, I really hope you'll continue visiting the blog and laugh along with me as we enjoy all the goodness that is the NBA.

Video: Bucks Do that Weird Starbucks Drake Hands Thing

11 days until the new season and couldn't find any better reason to revive this ole thing than something culturally relevant (kinda) and hilarious (for sure).
