Names are a funny thing. Even when they aren’t supposed to be. Just ask these people.

Fantasy Basketball team names can also be a funny thing. Granted, a lot of times we try to name our fantasy teams something cool that makes us sound tough or awesome (my very first fantasy team name in 1998 was the Syracuse Kindergarten Mafia (kmafia for short!). I was pretty, pretty, pretty cool back then. Ask anyone (or just ask me, don’t ask anyone else).
