98 awesomely dumb fantasy basketball team names for 2020-2021

Names are a funny thing. Even when they aren’t supposed to be. Just ask these people.

Fantasy Basketball team names can also be a funny thing. Granted, a lot of times we try to name our fantasy teams something cool that makes us sound tough or awesome (my very first fantasy team name in 1998 was the Syracuse Kindergarten Mafia (kmafia for short!). I was pretty, pretty, pretty cool back then. Ask anyone (or just ask me, don’t ask anyone else).

Earlier this summer, I wrote the 129 Best Fantasy Football Team Namesand we got 116 comments on that article, with great team name suggestions from our readers. I’m hoping we can do something similar today, as we share close to 100 of the best fantasy hoops team names for the 2020-21 NBA season.
