At least, I think that’s how you say it.
But anyhow, it’s true, we’re calling it wraps on Fantasy Basketblog. As with most blogs, real life ended up getting in our way and we just don’t have the time anymore. It might be a lame excuse, but it is what it is. I never wanted to have one of those blogs that gets updated like every few days or few weeks or whatever - I always liked that we would have something up every day. Once that stopped happening, I think that was the beginning of the end.
We like to think we had a great run, something like 3 or 4 years there, and it was plenty of fun. Among my favorite things from the last few years:
- Stromile Swift, just in general
- The reader mock draft
- Having Dr. A (confirmed - not really a doctor) actually respond that one time that we called him out.
- That one dude who kept on telling us we didn’t know what we were talking about.
- Other people actually believing that we did know what we were talking about.
- Having an “Eddie Griffin Memorial” list a good 2 years before Eddie Griffin passed away.
- Being adamant about how Kirk Hinrich was easily the most dependable pick in the early-mid rounds this year.
- Realizing that I could shorten “New! Updated! Top 20!” to “NUT!20″. Hey, it’s the little things.
- Comcast accidentally giving me free League Pass for like 3 months.
- Picking Dwyane Wade his rookie year with the last pick of the draft.
But mostly, of course, I liked the little FBB community we built, with so many regular commenters. It’s been a nice ride, and we might try and get this thing started up again sometime, but for now … Go Wizards.
