Choosing fantasy basketball team names can be of the biggest decisions you can make for your team. Believe it or not, fantasy basketball names can make or break your team’s reputation. Come up with one of the funny fantasy basketball team names, and you may get noticed big time in your fantasy league. However, if you come up with a boring fantasy basketball team name, like “Tom’s Team,” you may get noticed, too, but for all the wrong reasons.

There are a variety of angles you can go for when deciding on fantasy basketball team names. The first angle is to somehow incorporate your favorite NBA team’s name into your fantasy team name, like, say, “All the Kings’ Men” if you are a Sacramento Kings fan. You can also incorporate a coach’s name, like “What Can Mike Brown Do for You” if you are a Los Angeles Lakers fan.

Many fantasy basketball team names incorporate players’ names in them, like “Kobe Wan-Kenobi,” for Kobe Bryant, or "Yao Know What I Ming” for Yao Ming, or “Nowitzki Sour” for Dirk Nowitzki. Needless to say, most of these team names don’t just have the players’ name as a part; they also have some pun or play on words with them. Funny fantasy basketball team names, whether they be praising or mocking players, are very common. Some are a little of both, like this classic team name, “Pippen Ain’t Easy,” after Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen.

One of the more mocking fantasy basketball names is “Don’t Bring Guns to Arenas,” mocking Gilbert Arenas, who got busted for – bringing a gun to an arena. He was also commemorated with “What’s Eating Gilbert Arenas?”

In some fantasy leagues, people may pick a name for their fantasy team that has nothing to do with the NBA, but have something to do with trash-talking other people in your league. That can be fun, too.

If a player is both good, and has a name that works well with puns, there will be a lot of fantasy basketball team names with that name. For example, Kevin Durant is immortalized with a variety of fantasy basketball teams, such as “Durant Is Too Damn High” or “Durant Durant.”

In order to come up with one of the fantasy basketball team names that could work well for you, you might want to grab a pen and paper and come up with a name or play on words based on one or more of your fantasy players’ team names. You might also want to ask friends for advice – but just don’t ask friends who are in your fantasy league, because they might steer you the wrong way.

You may discover when it comes to fantasy basketball names that you may struggle for hours and hours to find a good fantasy team name, and then all of a sudden, you may discover one of the funny fantasy basketball team names that could work well for you.

So, spend a little time on coming up with potential fantasy basketball team names, and you may find something that could work for you. The good news is that if you end up hating your team name, you can always change it.
