Top 5 Point Guards in the NBA




Christmas is a great day for NBA fans. There is always a great slate of games and yesterday was no different. We got to watch: Wizards/Knicks, Thunder/Spurs, Cavaliers/Heat, Lakers/Bulls, and Warriors/Clippers. Each of these games featured a top tier point guard. As usual, the games sparked a lot of debate on social media. The main debate among fans, writers, and analysts was in regards to which point guards are the best in the NBA. Twitter doesn’t provide nearly enough characters and no one is interested in a Facebook status where you have to click “Continue Reading” so I figured I would throw in my two cents here.

Grading 2014 Forest Hills Drive



When I first started this blog a couple weeks ago, I did it with the intention of writing primarily about sports. As it turns out, I actually have a lot of other interests! What a surprise because it seems like I don’t do anything except watch, listen to, and read about sports 24/7. It’s good to know that sports haven’t completely taken over my life (yet). 

With that being said, I’d like to talk a little about J. Cole’s new album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive. It’s his third album and upon the first listen, potentially his worst. Before you call me a hater or tell me I don't know anything about music, hear me out first. I’m not saying that the album itself is bad, I just think Cole World: The Sideline Story and Born Sinner are better.

Serial is the Best Thing Since Cereal



Ok, so I lied in the title. Serial doesn't even begin to compare to real cereal. If I was forced to choose between a podcast and Fruity Pebbles, I’d pick Fruity Pebbles 101 times out of 100. Just thought I’d clear that up.

Once again, I’m fashionably late to a party. About 2 months late, to be exact. I tend to show up late to a lot of parties. I don't mean parties in the literal sense of the word. I'm actually referring to: movies, TV shows, books, and in this particular case, podcasts. The party/podcast that I showed up late to is called Serial. I would highly recommend subscribing to it for free on iTunes or streaming it online at http://serialpodcast.org/ (also free). People wouldn't stop talking about it on social media and I decided to finally give it a shot. So far, so good.

'Jurassic World' Looks Fantastic



(I know I’m 3 days late to the party but whatever)

Steven Spielberg. Chris Pratt. Genetically modified dinosaurs. That right there is a formula for success.

The Golden State Warriors Will Win the 2014-2015 NBA Championship



If you asked me who I think the best team in the NBA is right now, I wouldn’t hesitate to give you my answer. It’s the Golden State Warriors. Barring any catastrophic injury (which you can obviously say about any team), I strongly believe this team can and will win its first NBA championship since 1975.

I know it’s not the wildest prediction since they currently have the 3rd best record in the NBA, but I feel like people are somehow still sleeping on them. With new head coach Steve Kerr at the helm, the team appears to be leaps and bounds above where it was not only at this point last year, but overall in general. The offense is more free-flowing and the defense is legit. The craziest part is that I actually think there is a ton of room for improvement.

Greetings

Greetings! I'm assuming you're here because I posted a link on either Facebook or Twitter so I will try and keep this short. Most of you know me and for those of you that don't, I'll tell you a little about myself. I LOVE sports. There, that's pretty much everything you will ever need to know about me.

I've been contemplating starting a blog for years now but due to other commitments (ha, good one Eddie), I haven't quite gotten around to it. The actual truth is that I'm lazy. I just didn't care. I didn't care because I thought, what good could possibly come from starting a blog? Well, I finally realized that a lot of good can come from starting a blog.
