In our first attempt at fantasy basketball on ESPN we were victorous. Finishing the season as the #3 seed with 103-55-2 record, we went into the playoffs with our head held high, and finished on top.

I would like to thank Carmelo Anthony, Tyreke Evans, Carl Landry, Andrew Bogut, Luis Scola, Brandon Jennings, Tayshaun Prince, George Hill, Darren Collison, Jarrett Jack, and Lamar Odom for all there well rounded stats this season. Next season we welcome all challengers to our thrown and look to defend our championship with honor. Just in case you want to check the credibility of our statements then the follow the jump to pics that should help corroborate our claim!

President Barack Obama predicts Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky and Villanova to make the men’s basketball Final Four.

Obama filled out a bracket for ESPN for the second straight year. This time, he’s also making picks for the women’s tournament, selecting Connecticut, Notre Dame, Stanford and Tennessee. ESPN will reveal the full brackets Wednesday. His interview about the men’s tournament will air that day during the 11 p.m. CT SportsCenter, with the discussion of the women’s tourney broadcast Friday during the 8 a.m. show. Last year, Obama correctly picked North Carolina to win the national championship. His bracket ranked 903,125th overall, just above the 80th percentile in the ESPN’s online contest.
