Around SBN: Ray Allen Fighting Age, Injury And His New Role

NBA Fantasy Football Thead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (yes I know what I said)


IT'S BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I decided to come up with something fun to do until any news comes up. Lets play Fantasy NBA Football. It's like fantasy football except with NBA players. Imagine if Kyle Lowry was in the NFL playing RB. He would be very serviceable. Aaron Brooks as a kick returner? Man Reggie Bush would have nothing on him (just a joke so don't ridicule me). So everyone should come up with their NBA Fantasy football team and compare our teams and discuss outcomes and situations. This is going to be fun.

Here is my line up (will consist of mostly Rockets players)

OFFENSE:
QB- Yao Ming (that height and IQ makes this pick easy)

HB- Kyle Lowry (BULLDOG)

FB- Chuck Hayes

WR's- Jermaine Taylor and Chase Budinger (Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter)

TE- Luis Scola (Owen Daniel)

DEFENSE:

DT's- Shaquille O'neal and Eddy Curry (no running up the middle on us)

DE's- Amare Stoudemire and Glen Davis

LB's- Dwayne Wade, Ron Artest, and Derick Fisher (yea i hate him but ask Scola if he could be a good linebacker)

FS- Trevor Ariza ( if you throw to his side beware)

SS- LeBron James

CB's- Kobe Bryant and Rajon Rondo (they can stay in front of wide-outs)

KR/PR- Aaron Brooks (the guy is just to quick)
Kicker/Punter- Steve Nash

No cursing in title. No pirated material, such as links to online game streams. Do not cut/paste entire sections of content from other websites. Thanks.

Nicely done Batman

Keeping it pure Rockets, as in Rockets over the past 3 (from the 07-08 team to present) years, I’d go:

QB: Kyle Lowry’s our best “passer”
RB: Speed Racer (K-Mart)
FB: Jordan Hill
WR: T-Mac and Francis (gotta put the diva’s at WR)
TE: Scola
T: Mutumbo on the left, Hayes on the right
G: Mike Harris and David Andersen
C: Yao of course

Defense (I run a 3-4)
DE: Patrick Patterson and Jared Jeffries
DT: Hilton Armstrong anchors the nose
LB: Artest, Ariza and Garrett Temple just look meanacing
CB: Jermaine Taylor and Chase Budinger
SS: Battier (man, the guy know’s his X’s and O’s)
FS: Brooks (wanted Deke or Yao here as the "last line of defense)
K: Bryan Cook
P: Rafer Alston
KR/PR: Brooks (can play D and return game)

oh the 4th LB

is Carl Landry: Deploy Ariza and Temple on the wings, with Artest and Landry in the middle

nice

the WR combo makes perfect sense and they are 2 of the best pure athletes in franchise history.

GO ROCKETS, GO TEXANS, GO ASTROS (EVEN THOUGH THEY SUCK)!!!

David Anderson a guard???

I’d definitely put Patterson or Artest there.

oh yea

he would make a hell of a lead blocker. Picture him blocking for a power run team.

I dunno

It depends on if he’d be able to stop instinctively taking charges.

by mr.manager on Aug 2, 2010 1:49 AM CDT up reply actions  

I would

pay money, a lot of money, to see Yao Ming play even a single down of football as a QB. Can’t. Even. Imagine.

Otis Thorpe at Quarter Back

Nice idea for a thread. Anyway… if it’s FANTASY football, I would like to use Otis Thorpe in his prime as my QB. Anyone remember those rifle passes from near the basket that would span the entire court to a guard who would get an easy lay-up as result?

No one is going to recognize? Well, I couldn’t find a clip of the outlook pass, but here is an awesome Otis Thorpe clip on youtube:

yeah, but New Orlean hated him

He was kind of a tweener that didnt know whether he should be Micheal Vick or McNabb,so he decided to be Farve, which ruined him

Why in the world

is Dwight Howard mentioned only ONCE on this whole post/thread.

No Layups

by Ron E on Aug 2, 2010 3:12 PM CDT reply actions  

no lower body strength

despite freakish athletic ablility , his power lies within his upper body. The positions he could play would require him to have leverage and without lower body strength it would make things difficult. Maybe a TE though.

by batman713 on Aug 2, 2010 3:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

Are you kidding me

just because d-wite is freakishly jacked in his upper body doesnt mean his lower body isnt strong also. He would own anyone else in the NBA.

No Layups

hahahahahaha- you would rather have MUTUMBO at DT rather than HOWARD

just admit you made a mistake and forgot about him
