Professional sports provide various ways to enjoy beyond simply watching the game. This is especially true for sports that are popular all over the world. The same goes for the NBA, the best basketball league in the world. Fantasy League is an indispensable experience for those who enjoy the NBA. The pleasure of forming a group with several friends and acquaintances to form a team and play ‘leader play’ is a factor that can increase interest in the league. Jumpball would like to introduce the fantasy league of professional basketball journalists for the 2022-2023 NBA season. ※Records as of April 10
It wasn’t a fantasy monster for nothing.
The 2022-2023 reporter fantasy league, which has been going on for 8 months, has completed all the playoff schedules following the regular league. The championship went to reporter Lee Hak-cheol of ‘Fantasy Monster’. This is the 2nd season in a row following last season. With the win last season, he was 12th, the last place in the first round of nominations, and he showed off his extraordinary potential in that he won the championship even though Lamelo Ball (Charlotte), who was selected in the first round, was out of the season early due to an injury. Even Anthony Edwards (Minnesota), who was selected in the second round, did not live up to expectations.
In fantasy leagues, you must be lucky. Julius Randle and Jaylen Brunson (above New York), who were selected in the 6th and 8th rounds, respectively, completely filled the vacancy of the ball. Extraordinary efforts were followed here. I had the most fun in the FA market. Other reporters checked the lineup for players in the early morning hours while they were asleep and diligently recruited free agents. At a gathering of reporters from the Fantasy League, it was to the point that people said, “When the hell does Lee Hak-cheol go to sleep?”
The same was true of the tournament final against reporter Ryu Dong-hyuk. The tournament finals were held in the last week of the NBA regular league, and most of the teams whose results were confirmed took out a large number of starting players and used players who had not played in the meantime. With Randall and Bradley Beal (Washington) out of the team due to injuries in the final week, the roster became empty and worked in favor of reporter Lee Hak-cheol. This was a good news for reporter Lee Hak-cheol, who was already good at picking up free agents.
On the other hand, reporter Ryu Dong-hyuk had restrictions on controlling playing time and recruiting free agents because he did not know whether the main players would play every day or not. As time passed, the score slanted toward reporter Lee Hak-cheol, and they won 10-4 and became the winner for the second consecutive season. I’m so sincere about fantasy to the point of checking whether or not a player is participating while other people are sleeping, but I don’t know if this guy is doing his job properly. I hope rookie reporter Park Sang-hyeok reads this article. 메이저사이트
We will be back
Reporter Dong-Hyeok Ryu, who was most active in trade throughout the league, showed off his old age by climbing to second place. Reporter Choi Yong-seok, his friend and rival, also made it to the semifinals. He was someone who had no interest in the NBA at all, but now he has become an NBA expert while playing Fantasy 2 season. When I was with Sports Dong-a, I wrote the NBA article by myself, but these days, you can often see Sports Dong-a’s NBA articles written by Choi Yong-seok.
The reporter fantasy league has become a good and interesting subject to broaden the scope of conversation between senior and junior reporters. Text messages in the KakaoTalk chat room are basic, and it has become a daily routine to exchange jokes and tease each other while talking about trade in the professional basketball field. Reporter Choi Jeong-seo, who plays the role of commissioner for the seniors who don’t listen well, played a big role in maintaining peace (?) in the league by tidying up troublesome things.
