If you are a married woman, it keeps your husband busy.  Yap, that's important.\n\nAnyway, it's fun.  Not only that, it gets people to know more about the game and more about the players.  And sports is about stats.  That matters.

You receive scoring for all players in your active lineup, including the Utility position, regardless of where they appear in actual NBA games. Once earned, fantasy points and scoring are not removed even if the player is moved to the bench, waived, or traded to another team.\n\nBench players will not receive stats that count in your score. The purpose of the bench is to allow roster flexibility when players are injured, not scheduled to play, or are performing poorly. We keep track of their stats, which you can find located on your team page.\n\nYour head-to-head match-up screen always displays the current lineup for both teams. Stats can be displayed for bench players if they were active earlier in the week and later moved to a bench position. Since the stats were accumulated when the player was active, they are added to the match-up totals.\n\nPlayers picked up from free agency/trades/waivers only count in your stats going forward from the time you add them to your roster. You do not inherit those points and stats that the player earned while a member of another team.\n-nny

If you can play in the league, then you are a good player. There are no bad players that have ever played in the league.

if you dont know,  why would you join a team?  anyway,  there are far too many rules to sit here and list them all.  do a web search or go to wikipedia on the rules of basketball.  this is too detailed for answers.  good luck!

Fantasy Sports is where you create a team from a roster of players.\n\nTheir performance of the field generates a set number of points for your team, as well as how the team performed.\n\nFor example, in football, you desingate your team as Pittsburgh, but you have Ricky Williams as your running back.\n\nYou get points as to how well the individual performed and the team.\n\nThere are leagues where they have drafts for players and even trades during hte season.\n\nYou pay into it and the person with the most points wins.\n\nThere are also organized contests, which you can see in the paper as well.

Yahoo! Fantasy Football Leagues are one of the few to offer individual defensive players.  Their leagues are the easiest to set up and have a great interface.

Starting your own fantasy football league is not easy since money isn't involved. Meaning if you have a league where everyone joins at the starting then they wont be active for the hole season. \n\nSo take it from a guy who had his own league in football, baseball, hockey, & basketball creat a league where money is involved or no one will be active. (exp. 10 team league only 4 or 5 teams active and so on don't creat a league with out money.

Your main goal when you play is to win the NBA Championship, so unfortunately players feel that they can keep changing teams until they are on one that can win. Thats why you must have more respect for players like Shaq who will go anywhere and still win

Don't pay for something that you can get for free on the internet.\n\nNot to mention that the "experts" writing for those magazines have no more knowlege of fantasy games than the average fantasy manager.  I have bought fantasy magazines twice in the 9 years I have played different fantasy sports and can honestly say that on both occasions....I did not come away any smarter.
