Leagues ANALYSIS: Jeremy Lin is a player many shy away from because it has become a chic thing to do. For some reason, many seemed to hope for his demise as an NBA point guard after his meteoric rise for the Knicks in 2012. In the past couple of years, when he has failed to match his otherworldly play of that 2012 season, he has been unjustly labeled a bust. Let us see Lin for what he is: a solid point guard who is [...]Keep on reading: Jeremy Lin (PG/SG, CHA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

I am a Kobe Bryant fantasy basketball owner.If you can relate to that statement this season, then you undoubtedly feel my pain. It has been a long season in Laker land this year, and Bryant has not been immune to the effects of the dumpster fire that has been the Lakers' season thus far.At first glance, Bryant's averages of 22.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.7 assist per game are fantasy gold. After all, there aren't many players in the NBA who can put up a 20-5-5 season. In fact, as of J[...] Keep on reading: Fantasy NBA: The Kobe Conundrum

And a Happy Ash Wednesday on the eve of the final games before the NBA All-Star break. We have some replacement news, involving those opting out of this weekend's festivities due to injury and more. Impact fantasy players are using the break to get a few extra days to heal heading into the weekend and news of some potential "hazing" of a rookie in the slam dunk competition. Check out our 2012 Fantasy Baseball Rankings. C -- 1B -- 2B -- SS -- 3B -- OF -- SP -- RP We begin with a replacement in the Sprite Slam Dunk contest during All-Star Saturday night. New York swingman Iman Shumpert due to a knee injury that also forced him to sit out Monday night's loss to New Jersey. Jeremy Evans of the Utah Jazz will take Shumpert's place. I imagine most of you are shrugging and don't really care, but you should. Shumpert was to have been assisted by teammate and recent Linsation Jeremy Lin. No mention of Lin, but we can only imagine he will now not be taking part as well. A rumor out of...

Believe it or not, there is news from the Association that isn't just Jeremy Lin related, but not here. The NBA hits the All-Star break this weekend and very wisely, officials have worked Lin into the festivities. While they should have worked him into the three point and skills competition given his white hot stauts, he will assist teammate Iman Shumpert in the slam dunk competition and play in the rising stars game.

Four more night's of action until the Association heads to Orlando for the annual NBA All-Star weekend. We've told you about the Slam Dunk competion and share with you those competing in the three-point shootout.

Check out our 2012 Fantasy Baseball Rankings. C -- 1B -- 2B -- SS -- 3B -- OF -- SP -- RP It's a solid group, but I believe the NBA really missed an opportunity by not including New York point guard Jeremy Lin. There must be a reason, right? TACO BELL Skills Competition Contestants Stephen Curry GOLDEN STATE- More of a shooter than the true point guards, will rely on his speed. Kyrie Irving CLEVELAND- Rookie of the Year candiate is well rounded and has recovered from injury. Tony Parker SAN ANTONIO- The old man of the group is a sentimental...

How you looking at guard? So many categories, hard to get 'em all covered with one player. I have always struggled addressing field goal percentage and three pointers. I have always leaned towards the point guard types, obviously contributing more assists and in many cases more likely to pickup steals. Very general observation, but a guide nonetheless. So what's available in free agency or on the waivers in your league? We have taken a look and provide you some options, based on players that are available in more than 50% of Flea Flicker fantasy basketball leagues. Check out our 2012 Fantasy Baseball Rankings.

I don't know about you, but it adds a little something when one of my fantasy players takes part in All-Star Weekend. It's usually difficult to have more than one or two in the All-Star game itself, but with additions over the years of the Future's game and individual competition, its pretty hard not to have someone, competing somewhere. Check out our 2012 Fantasy Baseball Rankings. C -- 1B -- 2B -- SS -- 3B -- OF -- SP -- RP I am old enough to have watched every NBA Slam Dunk competition and have to admit its nothing like the old days. The battles between Dominique Wilkins and Michael Jordan were special. Anyhow, on to this year's competitors. And yes, I am wondering too, why only four contestants? Iman Shumpert- NEW YORK- Rookie guard who has been overwhelmed by the recent play of Jeremy Lin. We all remember Shumpert's dunking prowess at Georgia Tech, I imagine that is what landed him an invitation. Derrick Williams MINNESOTA- Dude has raw power and will be...
