Carnival #60: The Brotherhood of the Traveling Blogs

Posted by HoopsAvenue on September 22, 2008 under Fantasy Basketball, General NBA | 7 Comments to Read

This week HoopsAvenue has been called upon to host the 60th edition of the Carnival of the NBA maintained by Bulls Blogger! If this is your first carnival, don’t be confused, just remember the links tell the story.

Let me introduce you to The Brotherhood of the Traveling Blogs…

We begin our travels in Boston where we receive some important instructions on how we are to scale any mountains we may come across.  This advice will come in handy later, but for now we are sent to the nation’s capital with the Celtics where we meet with our leader.

While in DC, we hear from another leader, the worldwide leader thinks we should investigate the continent across the Pond, but is it a good idea? We decide to head overseas to check it out.

Our first stop is Italy where Andrea Bargnani is all the rage.  We’re told why he struggled last season.  Hmm, could he be ready for a breakout season?  He could be the X factor.

Wait, we’ve just received an urgent message…”The world might be ending.”

Eeek.  We hear that we need to go to Switzerland to investigate.  Luckily, we’ve learned how to scale mountains so the Alps are no problem.



We arrive in Geneva where we learn the Large Hadron Collider has been tested and worked fine.  That’s a relief.  It did suck up the Timberwolves though.

Looking for some positive news, we head back to the States and arrive in Miami where we catch up with Michael Beasley.  He’s in a particularly good mood and tells us he’s on his own now.  He’s obviously in a very jubilant Starbury-esque mood and tells us he knows how to travel through time.

This is good news because we’ve heard of a little-known team called the White Horses that played one season only in 1938.  That was a refreshing history lesson, but now we’re heading back to modern days to enjoy the scoring abilities of a mystery man.

Well, our little trip with Beasley is over and now we’re back in 2008 where we find out what Josh Howard was really talking about on that video.

Before we end our journey, we’re reminded its time for fantasy basketball and we all know how important it is to pick a good point guard.

It’s important to pick a good league too so why not give HoopsAvenue Fantasy Basketball a twirl?  One thing is for sure, we’ve got a good scoring system.
