Chain gang: Jordan says Kobe is better than LeBron, game theory, winners and losers

by on Jul.12, 2010, under Chain gang

  • “Kobe.” Michael Jordan declared that Kobe Bryant is better than LeBron James (via Lakers Blog at LATimes.com):

    While this is far from surprising, especially in light of Kobe’s recent championship and LeBron’s recent choke job followed by his controversial decision to shy away from a shot at personal greatness, MJ’s verbal stamp on the matter is certainly interesting.

    Henry at FourPointPlay posted the result of his Self Esteem League’s four-hour draft day. It’s very descriptive and fun to read. The quote, pick and pass of each round is also highlighted, along with odds on each team’s chances of winning.

  • Erik at Points in the Paint is offering his keen insights into rotisserie and head-to-head fantasy formats, with sample rosters included.
  • Matt Buser recently posted parts one and two of his great head-to-head guide at busersports.com. If you’re into roto scoring, he’s got primers for each position on his site, too.
  • Patrick at Give Me The Rock is starting to tick off his top 10 fantasy players at each position and has already covered point guards and shooting guards.
  • Yours truly has already posted his top 10 fantasy players at each position in 2009-10 at Dimemag.com: point guards, shooting guards, small forwards, power forwards and centers. I’ve already had a change of heart on some of those rankings, but on the whole I firmly stand behind them. There are valid disagreements and perspectives in the comments – read them and let me know what you think.

Chain gang: Bucks, 76ers, Players to target, Tips

by on Sep.15, 2009, under Chain gang

  • Erik discusses the Milwaukee Bucks on Give Me The Rock as part of a series of looks at NBA teams ravaged by “The Four Horsemen.”

    “Sifting through its roster is like making a list for an all-late-round-draft team,” Erik writes. “You know a team has a bad roster, when Luke Ridnour – LUKE RIDNOUR! – and Hakim Warrick are the guys that appear to be the most appealing to draft.”

    While he expresses caution regarding Michael Redd and Andrew Bogut, he does point out a sleeper on the Bucks roster and mentions three players to keep your eyes on during the beginning of the season.
  • Tommy Beer at Hoopsworld takes a gander at the Philadelphia 76ers.  He points out the obvious allure of Louis Williams at the starting point guard spot this season, but also takes a bit of a leap and expresses confidence in Elton Brand more or less returning to form this year.
  • Evil E at RotoEvil.com gives a preview of RotoEvil’s Draft Guide, which includes a section about “50 Players to Target.” He splits these players up into four categories and offers an in-depth look at Trevor Ariza.
  • Tip #22 was posted yesterday at FourPointPlay, continuing a list of interesting, engaging and helpful tips for fantasy fiends, new or old. Take a look and see what you think.
