“Up, up, up the court! Down, down, down the court! Up the court, down the court! Go, team, go!” This is a cheer that I can recall fondly that was one of the chants at my brother’s basketball games back in high school. It’s one of the only ones that I hear when I fantasize about basketball in the good ol’ days!

Speaking of fantasizing about basketball, let’s get on the topic of fantasy basketball! With so many good, professional players out there, everyone can build their very own dream team and even win a few bucks in the process. What’s even more fun is getting together with the rest of the fantasy players and partying during game time, and being in the presence to make fun of those who are losing!

Your favorite team: Think about your favorite team and use their name or colors or some other aspect about them in your team’s name. You’ll be showing some team loyalty while taking pride in your fantasy team!
