What D'Angelo Russell's Rise Means for the Brooklyn Nets
If any team has caught the attention of the National Basketball Association, along with its fanbase, the Brooklyn Nets are definitely one of them. After the all-star break, they find themselves in the middle of a rather tight playoff race at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. They have been playing well this season, bringing an intensity to every game. Usually, that intensity they play with is what pushes them over the edge and allows them to win these games. Another reason could be the career year being put together by their all-star point guard D'Angelo Russell. But with big decisions regarding their cap room, Russell's rise gives the Nets more questions than answers.

Why Paul George Could Actually Be This Year's MVP
Russ was fouled out, it was double overtime, and time was low. Paul George was against Joe Ingles and made a decisive move to the basket. Stepping through Ingles and Ricky Rubio, George floated the ball over 7-footer Rudy Gobert and sinks the game-winning shot. It was then that I knew. He could become the MVP of the NBA. In a year where Giannis is dunking in the NBA, and Harden is frying his foes into a chef special, PG-13 is playing like he is a man on a mission in a gritty rated-R film. And after the all-star break, Paul George now has an understanding of his role in OKC and has the perfect star teammate in Russell Westbrook. And with the when peaking at the right time is crucial to winning, George is hitting his peak, right on time.

How to Improve Your Jump Shot
Although I am a huge fan of basketball, at 5'9" and with a vertical jump of a penguin, I'm not necessarily a "menace" on the court. However, I have managed to alter that stigma recently, thanks to a much-improved jump shot. In fact, if it wasn't for my jump shot, I probably wouldn't be able to stay on the court. Now that people have to play up on my shot, I can make up for my lack of athleticism/handles. When you're not the tallest person on the court, having a solid jump shot is a gamechanger.

So I'm sitting here in my makeshift office/bedroom trying to make a dime or two for me and my lovely wife, and what do I happen to read in the Wall Street Journal but this - Manny Machado is now the recipient of the largest-ever free agent deal in the history of that great North American sport we call baseball. Manny who? Manny freakin' Machado, that's who!

Liverpool vs Bayern Munich | Match Review
A big night at Anfield resulted in a surprising zero to zero draw between Liverpool and Bayern with Liverpool missing the big chances to put themselves in front. Sadio Mane went close in the first half for the Reds, driving a shot from the centre of the box just wide of the post. Matip also came close to putting Liverpool in front, but Sule blocked well for visitors.

Best Gear for Liverpool Fans
I'd be lying if I said that Liverpool football wasn't on my mind all day, every day. As a former soccer player with bad knees, I can't get on the field as much as I once did, but I still have to get my soccer fix one way or another. I've opted to do this by literally watching as many Liverpool FC games as humanly possible. Being that I'm from the United States, it's difficult to see them live, but on the weekend I'll get up bright and early just to catch my favorite team in action.
