Alright, listen up, y’all! We’re gonna talk about them funny names for your basketball pretend teams, you know, the fantasy ones. I don’t know much about these fancy computers and internet stuff, but my grandson, he showed me some things. He says folks like funny names, so I figured I’d give it a shot, tell you what sounds good to this old lady.
First off, you gotta have some names that make folks chuckle, you hear? Like, somethin’ silly. My grandson showed me some, said they’re popular. One was called “We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Bol.” I guess that’s about that tall fella, Bol Bol. He’s a beanpole, that one! You could also say somethin’ like “Grandpa’s Old-School Shooters”, that’s got a nice ring to it, reminds me of the good ol’ days when basketball was just basketball, no fancy stuff.
Then you got them names that play on the players’ names. My grandson told me ’bout one called “Herro’s Heroes”. That Herro fella, he’s a good shooter, I hear. You can do that with lots of players, just gotta be a little clever. Like, if you got that Jokic fella, you could call your team “Jokic’s Jokesters” or somethin’. See? Easy peasy. Or maybe “LeBron’s Landlords” if you are lucky enough to get that LeBron fella on your team. He’s strong like an ox, that one.
- Funny Names: “Granny’s Got Game”, “Air Ballers”, “Bricklayers United”, “The Old Fogies”
- Player-Based Names: “Curry’s Kitchen”, “Giannis’ Freakshow”, “Harden’s Helpers”, “Embiid’s Empire”
Now, don’t go gettin’ too fancy with it. Keep it simple, somethin’ folks can remember. My grandson says somethin’ ‘bout keywords and search engines. Says if you use the right words, folks can find your team name easier. So, make sure you use words like “basketball”, “fantasy”, “NBA”, stuff like that. He says it helps. I don’t know how, but he’s a smart fella.
You can also use some sayings, you know, like them old-timey sayings. Like, “Slow and Steady Wins the Race” but make it basketball-y, maybe “Slow and Steady Sinks the Shots”. Or somethin’ like “Don’t Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch” you can make it “Don’t Count Your Points Before the Buzzer”. See what I’m doin’ there? Just takin’ old sayin’s and makin’ ’em fit the basketball thing.
My grandson says people also like names from them movies and TV shows. I don’t watch much of that, but I know some. You could call your team “The Avengers of the Court” or “The Game of Thrones All-Stars”. Just make sure it fits with basketball, you know? Don’t go callin’ your team somethin’ about cookin’ if it’s a basketball team. That just don’t make no sense.
And listen, don’t be afraid to get a little silly, a little goofy. It’s supposed to be fun, right? This ain’t no serious business. It’s just a game, so have a good time with it. “The Bumbling Basketballers”, “The Foulin’ Farmers” – those are some good, silly names. Just let your imagination run wild. Pretend you’re back in school, makin’ up nicknames for your friends. That’s the kinda feelin’ you want.
The most important thing is that you like the name. Don’t let nobody tell you it ain’t good enough. If it makes you laugh, if it makes you smile, then it’s a good name. Period. You ain’t gotta please nobody but yourself. That’s what I always say. You do what makes you happy, and if a silly basketball team name does that, then go for it! So, get out there, find a name that tickles your funny bone, and have yourself a good ol’ time with your fantasy basketball team.
And one more thing, don’t forget to tell your friends about your team name. Brag a little! That’s half the fun of it, ain’t it? Showin’ off your cleverness. So go on, now. Get yourself a funny name and start playin’ that pretend basketball!
Remember, keep it simple, keep it fun, and keep it basketball-y. That’s all there is to it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about basketball has made me hungry!
