distance, gazing at the alluring pine trees on the horizon glistened by the scorching sun’s rays, my dad broke the long silence. He said,“son, why are you so quiet? You seem to be in deep thought.” Quietly I responded, “You know that game 4 of the Western Conference Finals is tonight, right?” The look on his face was not promising, he seemed to know exactly what I was going to ask. He quickly snarled, “You’re kidding me, I fly the entire family out to Chicago and you want me to spend $658 for the two

Can you believe we're already completed a quarter of the season? Wasn't it just yesterday that Curry kicked off the season by dropping 24 in the first quarter......or was that yesterday?? We've reached a point in the season where potential All-Stars have proven their worth. With the league opening up All-Star voting on Thursday, let's take a look at who should make the trip to Toronto on Valentine's Day weekend. (Quick tangent: I've always thought All-Star Weekend was David Stern's ploy to break

?KD Ruined the NBA? This happens to be an incredibly popular statement that I have seen being used across social media. Many fans label Kevin Durant as a ?coward? or a ?snake? and claim that he ruined the landscape of the NBA. Throughout this article I am going to be talking about my thoughts on two differing perspectives: Kevin Durant couldn?t win so he left to win a guaranteed championship, and this is exactly the same type of rivalry we have seen throughout the history of the NBA. At the end,

Wow, this 2016-17 NBA regular was tremendous for the NBA world. From LeBron becoming an explosive player again to Russel Westbrook having an amazing triple double run. In order for him to have surpassed the legend he need to tweak the team chemistry and player like a player who has a unique usage for a team. I just wonder what the locker room has to be like when Russ wins the game for his team along with getting season awards such as player of the week. I have so many wonders, but Russel Westbrooks

1. Portland Trailblazers The Trailblazers are coming off of a season in which they immensely exceeded expectations, so much so, this year the Trailblazers are a darling dark horse team among many experts (including my-self). Damian Lillard is among my favorites for the MVP award and scoring title. He took an enormous step forward last season, and I expect that production to continue into this season. Each season Lillard has increased his scoring output, played in at least 75 games, and has shot

This article is about Kevin Durant becoming the villain instead of being the nice guy by leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder and going to the Golden State Warriors after playing for the Thunder for nine years. Last July, DeAndre Jordan returned to the Los ANgeles Clippers after joining the Dallas Mavericks for only three days. Right after this was declared, Jordan was hated in Dallas, loved in Los Angeles, and was made fun of on the late-night talk shows, social media, and sports talk radio. He could

success that led to multiple individual awards awarded to me from the league. But let me address this clearly. I ain’t no b*tch. I think it was time for me to get out of Oklahoma City because were not having success at all. We've made it to the conference finals or a deep run in the playoffs every year after my arrival but I think this isn't enough. I wanted to join the team that just beat us and form a superteazm that will dominate the league for the years to come. I wanted to join Golden State

This past summer Kevin Durant made the bold decision as an NBA free agent to take his talents to Oakland, California and play for the Golden State Warriors. Durant had played his prior eight years for the Oklahoma Thunder. During this time playing for the Thunder, Durant has won an NBA Most Valuable Player Award, four NBA scoring titles, the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, and two Olympic gold medals.

More Than A Game Nearly every American knows the popular song, “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” It has commemorated the national sport baseball for many years, drawing fans from coast to coast creating a unique community that is truly American. However this song fails to portray the true nature of the sport.
