Deal, lock, deal again
Each press deals five names. The menu above the list keeps the draw to one set, such as Basketball puns or Last place and underdogs. Lock a favorite with a tap and press again to swap the rest.
A name that fits your roster
Build the joke on how your team plays. A roster of big men is Rim Protectors or Paint Patrol; a team that gives up a category on purpose is Category Punters. A manager who checks the injury report every hour is Late Scratch Panic.
Tips
- Losing streak? Rename the team from the last place set, such as Airball Artists, and change it back after a winning week.
Questions and answers
What are some funny fantasy basketball team names?
Dunk Tank, Alley-Oops, Swish Kebabs and Bank Shot Tellers are in the basketball puns set. For roster jokes try Load Management, Back-to-Back Blues or Stocks and Blocks.
Which names suit an office league?
The Clean for work leagues set: 25 names such as Spreadsheet Shooters, Timeout for Coffee and Assist Managers. Nothing on the page is rude, so any name can go on the office standings.
Why are real players left out?
A pun on a star's name stops working the day he changes teams, and it is someone's real name. The names here come from the game and from league habits instead, so nothing needs updating.
