fantasy basketball

Virtual roster competition

Fantasy basketball is a game where participants assemble imaginary teams of real professional players, then compete against other participants based on those players' actual statistical performance.

Managers draft players, make trades, and set lineups throughout the season: I can't trade him—he's carrying my fantasy basketball team.

The game has spawned dedicated websites, podcasts, and a culture of obsessive stat-tracking.
