After 2019 NBA Finals MVP and current Los Angeles Clippers superstar forward Kawhi Leonard let his rare and equally unique laugh slip at a press conference in 2018, this team name reminds us of one of the funniest NBA moments we've seen in years. While this one certainly doesn't pack the same sort of clever punch as many of the other pun-inspired names on this list, it's simplicity still delivers a great punchline. Hopefully rookie RJ Barrett will give them something to smile about. Grin and BarrettĪfter missing out on Zion Williamson and Kevin Durant this past summer, New York Knicks' fans may have no choice but to grin and bear it this season. Herro BallĪnd we've reached the top 10! If you draft Miami Heat rookie shooting guard Tyler Herro, and you have a love for ball-hogging basketball, this is probably the name for you. While we are still on the topic of foreign-born big men like Rockets' center Clint Capela, does anyone remember Rockapella, the a cappella group who sang the theme song for the 1990s game show, "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" No? Ok, moving right along. Speaking of Waka Flocka, here is another option for those who draft Raptors' forward Serge Ibaka, who has an affinity for making his teammates eat weird stuff. It also makes Harden a great source for free throws in fantasy, as a result. You can often find Houston Rockets' guard James Harden going "Hard in da Paint," like Waka Flocka Flame's 2010 song demands. Whether you prefer Toronto Raptors' center Marc Gasol or his older brother Pau, this "Breaking Bad" spinoff-inspired pun is a great team name for those who a have a thing for Spanish big men with smooth passing skills. And so is Washington Wizards' guard Bradley Beal, who one of the top shooting guards in fantasy hoops. Many young folks don't remember Evander "The Real Deal" Holyfield, but the former heavyweight boxing champion was, in fact, the real deal. There is a good chance Memphis Grizzlies' forward Jae Crowder goes unowned in your fantasy league this year, but that doesn't mean his name should go unnoticed when it comes to seafood soup-inspired puns. Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles is one of the NBA's best trash talkers, but he also comes with a nickname that summons memories of the holiday season. Ice TraeĪtlanta Hawks' point guard Trae Young was cold as ice in his rookie year, and he should be a great selection in the early rounds of fantasy drafts for this upcoming season as well. This pun is a take on the classic YouTube video featuring the "I like turtles" comment made by a kid being interviewed by a local television station. Jakob Poeltl (pronounced Pur-tul) didn't get a ton of burn last year, but he is expected to play more in year two as a member of the San Antonio Spurs. It's hard to argue which recognition is more important. Susan Sarandon won an Academy Award for Best Actress from her part in the 1995 film, "Dead Man Walking," while Sacramento Kings' center Dewayne Dedmon was a 2014 D-League (now G-League) All-Star selection. Here are 20 funny fantasy basketball team names to consider for the 2019-20 NBA season. Some may be new to fantasy basketball this year, but just like in fantasy football and baseball, naming your team is the fun part of the season we can all enjoy before the games start to count.
