Without a doubt, SSR denizens are excited for the 2012-2013 Lakers season. It is a veritable fantasy team on the same team, and how it all ends has yet to be determined. And that is part of the excitement.

But we are obsessed about basketball. Obsessed. So, why should we limit ourselves to one league to follow? (Two, if you follow college basketball...) Let's take a fantasy league to the next level. Introducing... the NBA-SSR Fantasy League (NSFL).

How it will work:

Twenty teams, four divisions. Weekly matchups between teams, with nine contests involving separate categories each. Each category win gives the winning team a point, and over 21 weeks, the points will add up to a W-L-T record.

The playoffs will be a tournament format between the four division winners and the four non-division winners with the best records. Eight playoff teams, and one champion.
