Personal Narrative: Talks To Fines

George expected money. If he hadn’t had enough, he would ask for more until he was satisfied. Everything turned and went downhill because of his money crave. George came along and bad things happened.

The decade of hip-hop is what some may call it. Tupac, Naz, Biggie Smalls, as well as other artists, were major contributions. Not only for the people who are trying to find their footing, but Buck as well. Throughout the book various lyrics were embedded in order to create a better understanding for its readers. In addition, this book is based upon a 90s lifestyle within Philadelphia, which included drugs, gang activity, crime, hip-hop, and havoc. Malo was directly in the center of everything, the girls, the fights, the guns. His experiences shed light towards what it’s like to as an African American individual living in or near the hood. Not everyone realizes what people go through while living there, but now it gives some readers an image of what goes on. Though times have changed, not all previous feelings

Derrick Rose is at the center of the basketball universe. It's a few days before Christmas in 2011, and the shy, 23-year-old point guard finds himself in the middle of a suburban Chicago shopping mall as throngs of fans scream for his attention. A few hours earlier, the Chicago Bulls formally announced that they have signed the reigning MVP to a max extension worth close to $100 million. The future was bright for one of the NBA's most prominent

But the question is how all of these strong personalities and undeniable talents will play out on the court together. It can either be a success for a franchise that hasn’t had many peaks since the days of Chris Webber, Jason “White Chocolate” Williams, and Mike Bibby, just to name a few. But this current roster holds the most talent that this team has seen in years and they can capitalize on that to finally make some noise in a tough Western

Did I overlook Okafor's offensive game because I don't find that style of basketball as aesthetically pleasing as the Warriors or pre-Rajon Rondo Mavericks? Probably. Does that mean an offense centered around a post player of Okafor's caliber, the first collegiate freshman in likely two decades to score as efficiently as he did at such high volume, can't work in 2015? Hell

No. Kyrie Irving Please, come. Anderson Varejao I don’t like the King’s style of basketball.

After checking every photo taken during the investigation, the Deputy District Attorney, Michelle Trego asked the detectives to interview the witnesses again. “We want to make certain she pays for this crime,” Michelle said riding up in the elevator with Detective Wallace.

The upcoming NBA season is what the teams are looking forward to specially the Cleveland Cavaliers who took home the championship title and probably planning to aim for a back-to-back championship. In relation to this matter, Cleveland Cavaliers is on their run in improving their lineup which will possibly push them in “trading” players assumed to be involving Memphis Grizzlies’ Vince Carter.

Can you imagine waking up one morning to find out that the best basketball player on the planet is coming back home to play for your city? On July 11, 2014, LeBron James announced that he would be returning to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was a bright, sunny morning. I woke up and went downstairs to eat some breakfast. All summer long, people in Ohio were very hopeful that LeBron would come back. A lot of people thought the rumors were a joke and that it would never happen. They thought he would win another championship and rub it in our faces again while the Cavs were nowhere near making the playoffs for another straight year. The team was bad, but we had a promising point guard to set up LeBron and score the ball too. I went back

I should not really have to say more than that, but, alas, tomfoolery is alive and well. Ben Simmons looks dangerously close to my personal idea of 'the perfect NBA prospect' - a 1) very tall (but not too tall that it diminishes his athleticism), 2) extremely athletic 3) primary ball-handler who 4) shows excellently in every imagination of 'basketball IQ' conceivable, 5) sees the floor and delivers passes on the level of tippity-top point-guard prospects, 6) gets to the rim and 7) to the free-throw line truly at will, 8) defends excellently up through the 4 and 5 positions, and, finally, 9) rebounds the shit out of the

Hot Take: Did you see the list ESPN is putting out about the top NBA

The NBA has offered a blueprint for how to succeed, which could also rapidly homogenize players in the league. The change could also leave players, who had jobs this year, unemployed next season. That circumstance provides the potential for a messy turnover period where the quality of play slightly suffers. A final superfluous concern: promoting Curry is just promoting another good guy. Haven’t some criticized the NBA for lacking “villains”?

It still feels like the dust is settling from a venturesome off-season for the Indiana Pacers. Rebuilding is never an easy task, especially when you’re basically forced to and have to trade your best player who isn’t exactly content. You add in the factor that anyone who traded for Paul George, knew it’s basically a one-year rental. For that reason, Indiana didn’t receive what many people perceive as equal value in the trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder for Paul George. The Pacers received forward Domantas Sabonis and guard Victor Oladipo in the trade. Not an ideal package for George, but nonetheless helps the rebuilding process with the addition of two young up-and-coming players.

News that the Warriors will lose Kevin Durant for four weeks and potentially longer doesn’t do the NBA’s any favors. Without him, who’s going to stop LeBron James and the Cavs? A shell of the Golden State team that blew a 3-1 Finals lead to Cleveland last year? Not likely. Commissioner Adam Silver is beginning to wring his hands in angst. The epic showdown that has been building since Durant joined the Warriors last July is now off the playbill until further notice. That was the NBA’s one selling point all season — A shit regular season capped off by an thrilling
