One of the great joys of writing for a fine group site like Epic Carnival is the camaraderie and weirdness that goes on behind the scenes when you gather a group of over 20 of the most hilarious nutballs from across the globe. It's a mish-mash of quick wit, alcoholism, and immaturity that leads to a never ending onslaught of humorous communication.
Well, tonight we may witness one of the finest highlights of that weirdness as the NBA regular season comes to a close. This is the final night of the MOST EPIC FANTASY HOOPS LEAGUE - the Epic Carnival intrasquad fantasy league. Like most fantasy hoops leagues, I think 9 of the 12 teams stopped paying attention about 2 months ago, but those of us who stuck around know that something amazing could potentialy go down tonight.
You see, tonight is the final matchup between my team, Codename Destro, versus Simon on Sports and his White Warriors. Currently, Codename Destro holds a 5 to 4 lead, but all eyes are on the White Warriors in this fight to the death. You see, Simon successfully concocted a championship caliber team of all white dudes. His roster is hilarious. Leading the charge, he has three guys who surname ends in "ic," Stojakovic, Nesterovic, and Vujacic. Then he has trusty guards like Hinrich, Ginobli, Calderon. And filling out the roster are keen pickups like Luis Scola, Mike Miller, Nick Collison, Okur, Kirilenko, Gasol, and Korver.
While I cannot help but hope to pull out the victory - particularly after and undefeated fantasy football team crapped out in week one of the playoffs - I have to hand it to Simon for a masterful job as GM. This team should inspire white dorks and Europeans across the glove to keep practicing those finger rolls and chest passes. Simon's team is living proof that some scrappy hustle and lack of jumping ability can take you far. So, while everyone else is wondering how the playoffs will round out tonight, we'll be torn between rooting for our fantasy championships or secretly cheering on the great white hope. Well, done Simon.
EDITOR'S UPDATE: The White Warriors pulled it off! Amazing.

Come on FT%. The one stat you would have thought was automatic for the white folks is the one that is holding me down from a championship. Stupid Andris Biedrins, you're on the bench tonight.
Note to whoever is playing Utah you should foul Korver for the entire game.
Damn, I totally would've been down for a fantasy league had I known there was one for basketball...
DO YOU PEOPLE FORGET WHO WON YOUR FOOTBALL LEAGUE?
*downs bottle of tequila*
You can have my team for the last game. As soon as I remember where the league was hosted.
Hell yeah.
Interim Fantasy Sterling Gould on the way.
By the way, big ups on the photo image. That guy looks intimidating. And white.
7th! 7th! 7th!
Ryan Gomes is a real American Hero!
