Welcome to the High Above Courtside
Fantasy Basketball Guide
This is the haven for all historical news and statistics pertaining to the High Above Courtside Guide fantasy basketball league.
The history of High Above Courtside is an interesting one. High Above Courtside's origins go as far back as 2001 when it was known as the FNBA - Fake Nefarious Brilliant Aristocracy. There are several owners from that entity still involved with HAC. However, the FNBA met an inglorious end in 2006. In the 2009-10 NBA season, somewhat aimlessly, the seeds were sewn to form another league. For the next three seasons, starting in earnest in 2010-11, the league was hosted on three different websites. It was then a mere loose confederation of teams under an HAC umbrella.
That went on for several seasons until the league finally evolved in the 2012-13 season with aspirations to start a stable, enjoyable, competitive, laid back yet active league that could go on for many seasons thanks to a dependable stable of standout owners. That was when this website started and the design was inspired by the format of the NBA Guide made by The Sporting News. There are currently 12 franchises in the HAC, many of whom have been playing fantasy basketball with each other, in one form or another, for many years. This historical website will be updated after each season to document important league information such as standings and league news articles.
Cumulative totals like owners' wins and losses as well as season points scored began to be accumulated in the 2011-12 season. For historical purposes, the 2010-11 season will not be factored into franchise's all-time wins and losses because of the league setup that season.
If you are curious about more details of the league's history, all of it can be seen if you visit the Prior Years page. Through that, you can see some fascinating and enthralling details. The League History page will show every person who has ever owned an HAC franchise.
