To be fair, the actual “best fantasy basketball team names” are probably too inappropriate to print here, and many will involve some sort of inside joke or random cultural reference that we couldn’t possibly suggest in advance. Instead, we focus on the team names that pay homage to one (or more) players on your team and reference very generic (often dated) cultural touchstones, like the hit Christmas movie “Jingle All the Way”, early-90s Naughty By Nature song “Yoke the Joker”, and a few other things you may or may not have heard of.

We also like combining names of players because why not? Is it worth drafting Marquese Chris, Chris Paul, Paul George, and George Hill just for the team name? Probably not…but maybe. Maybe. It’s definitely worth getting Patrick Beverley and D’Angelo Russell so you can show respect to the matriarch of the Griswold Family.

Even if you don’t use any of the team names below, hopefully our lame puns can inspire something much more clever from you. And if you don’t get any of them, just assume they’re really good and move on with your life.
