NBA fans have experienced this first hand over the past few years and it has resulted in the Warriors winning three of four titles.

The Fresh Prince
I looked up the number of players who have worn the number 25 in the NBA. It seemed to be a fairly obscure number; the lone people I could think to sport the number were Ben Simmons and Derrick Rose. Turns out 213 players (including 16 active players) have worn the number 25, including legends Gail Goodrich, Mark Price and Robert Horry—there was also a Seattle Supersonics player named Michael Phelps who wore 25... I don't know what to make of that.

How I Would've Saved WWE SummerSlam 2018
With the Biggest Event of The Summer Weekend behind us, the majority of the fans knew this event was gonna be a dud. It was, in my opinion, an ehh show, especially for being an almost five-hour show. With lackluster storylines, repetitive matches from the prior PPV with predictable outcomes, WWE's agenda to push Reigns as their top guy, and that same main event he is in is pretty much more played out than any Cena/Orton feud. If WWE would've gone against the grain and actually produced an exciting ending, this could've been one of the best Summerslam in years. This could've been a great opportunity to push KO as their leading heel on Raw. And putting The Authors of Pain with Kevin would make perfect sense since they need a manager/mouthpiece. Kevin could have also been a mentor to them to help out with their promos. Even though I don't hate their promos, they a need a little help. This will also get AOP out of the current feud they're in or at least speed it up for them to be involved in the tag title hunt. I think my idea for Kevin Owens and Authors of Pain stable forming would've blown the roof of the Barclays Center. Or at least make the show more interesting with my booking of the main event.

Should Orlando Trade Vucevic?
The NBA 2018-2019 season is approaching quickly, and while many teams have made big trades and moves already, one team that has kept relatively quiet in this offseason is the Orlando Magic. Of course, they drafted Mo Bamba, a center who could come into the league already a polished defensive anchor with tremendous upside on the offensive end, but they haven't really made any other big moves.

The People's Champ. Top Story - August 2018.
Let me be clear: I believe Ben Simmons was the best rookie (yes, he was a rookie; this is not up for debate) and deserved to win the Rookie of the Year award. However, Donovan Mitchell came out of nowhere and made it a much tighter race than anyone anticipated heading into the season. The Utah Jazz had been written off by many following Gordon Hayward's departure for the Boston Celtics, but as the year progressed, Mitchell began to show flashes of greatness; those flashes turned into stretches and those stretches turned into wins, playoff wins in fact. And while the return of eventual Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert helped the Jazz's case, it is indisputable that he carried the team offensively and they would have been lottery-bound without him.

NFL Fantasy Football Projections: Brees Passes Manning for Yardage Record, Earning 2018 Top QB and MVP Awards
When considering players at Quarterback for a fantasy football team, there are several factors that have to be weighed. Talent of the player himself is the most obvious, but beyond that, the quality of those players around him, the level of competition he’ll face, and how each teammate in their position matches up against the season’s opponents, must all be considered.

Slow Your Rolls...
In the doldrums of summer and the NBA offseason, I find myself on YouTube a lot, often watching basketball or NBA 2K videos. One of my favourite shows to watch is First Take, as I enjoy hearing Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman banter and give their opinions on a myriad of NBA topics. Typically, I agree with at least one of them on any given matter. But a few days ago, I found myself disagreeing with both analysts, and it is actually a topic I have been giving a great deal of thought to the past little while.

7 Lessons We Can All Learn from Shawn Michaels
Shawn Michaels is a mere wrestling superstar to most, but to me, he was the catalyst for change that I so desperately needed. Something about him spoke to me so deeply. I watched him, studied him, and after a while, I felt like I knew him. Something about him was so raw, so real, and so easy to get lost in. It wasn’t just a character, it was a piece of him that drew so many in.
