AK's Fantasy is BK's Nightmare

The Lake show is 15-11, but that's not the real story when it comes to So Cal hoops. And no, it ain't the Clippers, either. It's Why Not Isaiah Rider?, the greatest All-Lakers fantasy squad in the rich, illustrious history of All-Lakers fantasy leagues. Rider, AK's squad for the ages, is absolutely housing Rambis Glasses, BK's pathetic effort to draft a winner. My boys are off to an almost insurmountable lead, refusing to look in the rear view mirror as they leave BK in a cloud of mean spirited dust.

Oh, and not to add insult to injury... okay, totally to add insult to injury... the waxing I'm giving BK, doing it with 3 three less players!

Team "Why Not Isaiah Rider?": Kobe, Mihm, George, Cook, Smush, Bynum
Team "Rambis Glasses": Odom, Kwame, Sasha, Slava, McKie, Devin Green, Walton, Profit, Wafer

I lost Jumaine Jones via trade, plus Tony Bobbitt, Adam Perada and Corie Blount via lack of talent. Doesn't matter. My boys are focused, people! They're on a mission and play as a unit, reflecting the attitude displayed by your beloved (actual) Lakers squad currently stomping folks with purpose. And like y'all, I have many reasons to be proud.

A breakdown of the stats I own (FYI, we nixed DNP-CD as a category, since keeping track of it required more research, attention and effort than either of us anticipated, much less are willing to actually give):

Perhaps that's "Why Not Isaiah Rider?"

Dude, someone dropped a dime on my fantasy squad's namesake! The NBA's former #1 bad boy is up to no good again. Apparently, battery is against the law these days. Who knew? This probably doesn't help his bid for a comeback (if one such effort even exists).

For readers who've been riding the winning fantasy bus (mine!) since day one, fear not. I know the guys on my team, and they won't allow a distraction like this to unravel their season. They're going to stay focused and weather the storm. And who knows? Perhaps Mr. Rider can use my band of warriors as a source of strength and learn from this unfortunate incident (I seriously doubt it, but I also never thought the Knicks would have $90,000,000 worth of center and still not have a quality starter, so anything's possible, I suppose.).

Total Freakin' Dominance!!!

I know it's early. You never wanna read too much into one win. There's still plenty of season left to play. But all that said...

... Dude, Why Not Isaiah Rider? is the most dominating All-Lakers fantasy team in the history of All-Lakers fantasy drafts!

Seriously, could I have owned Rambis Glasses, Brian's lame excuse for a squad, with any more ferocity during last night's game? It's like he sent out the team Martin Lawrence coached in that high school basketball movie that nobody (including Martin Lawrence's parents) saw. Oh, the humanity! I'm not saying Brian should just give up and join a fantasy knitting league, but he's got a loooonnnnnngggg season ahead of him. Meanwhile, let's take a look at how my season for the ages began, shall we?

"Why Not Isaiah Rider?" The Fantasy Team for the Ages

Andrew Kamenetzky on the building of team "Why not Isaiah Rider?"

After much fanfare, deliberation and media speculation, the First Annual Kamenetzky Brothers All-Lakers Fantasy Draft officially entered the books. Exciting as a two person league comprised entirely of players from one team is, there was still one anti-climactic moment. It's not really all that thrilling when there are only 2 ping pong balls involved. And ghetto as we are, we didn't even have actual ping pong balls, instead settling on two golf balls with "1" and "2" written in marker.  As the elder brother, I drew first and defeated the staggering 50-50 odds to pluck the first pick. Immediately, I was on the clock for thirty seconds. Here's my take on the next 20 rounds.

Andrew and Brian Kamenetzky
Andrew and Brian Kamenetzky are contributing writers to ESPN The Magazine and ESPN.com, and co-authored Fishing on the Edge, the autobiography of 2003 Bassmaster Classic champion Mike Iaconelli, bass fishing's bad boy. While both grew up in St. Louis without NBA basketball, Andrew became a die hard Lakers fanatic after moving to L.A. to attend USC. That he managed to find a job requiring him to obsess over his favorite team, the same activity that prompted him to waste time while working other jobs, is pretty incredible. As for Brian, his baptism into pro hoops fandom has been provided by the "All Lakers, All The Time" citizens of Los Angeles. Beats the hell out of covering the Bucks.
