2018-19 NBA MVP Predictions
There's always a lot of controversy about who should bring home the MVP trophy. Last year for example, James Harden had an exceptionable season and was awarded but people argued that LeBron James had played his best season of his career. Russell Westbrook also had another triple-double averaging season, Anthony Davis was a runner-up along with runner-up for DPOY, and the two Warriors Kevin Durant and Steph Curry played exceptionably well. Question is, who will win it this year? These are the top 5 candidates to win the MVP.

Luka Doncic: Boy Wonder
Whenever the basketball world is introduced to a European prospect, we all typically call BS, often rightfully so. For every Dirk Nowitzki and Tony Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo (only took me two tries to spell that LOL), we get dozens of players who never reach their potential, failing to be even average NBA players.

NBA Season Is Back and That Makes Me Very Very Happy
We are back everyone. Time to rejoice because the NBA season tipped off this week. The greatest league in America is back playing meaningful games and I am here for all of it. Now that beach season has come to an end (which makes me sad), NBA season, even while being a die hard New York Knicks fan (which is like having a terminal illness), basketball season is the perfect pick me up. And this season is going to be excellent; so many story lines and narratives this year to talk about and I will be talking about a lot of it this year.

My Top 5 Storylines for 2018-2019 NBA Season
So....it's been a while.... In my defence, I'm in first year engineering and tore my MCL in my first university rugby game so cut me some slack. Fortunately, I don't need surgery for those worrying (so like two people) and uni is, well, taking some getting used to.

Where Is Jimmy Butler Going?
Where is Jimmy Butler going? There has been a lot of off-season drama in Minnesota locker room, with most of it focused on Jimmy Butler. So, what has happened? About a month ago, Butler requested a trade. But why? Honestly, it seems like he’s fed up with this Timberwolves team. I think it’s a combination of a lot of things. Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins, Jeff Teague, Tom Thibodeau, the front office, etc.

Best Basketball Olympic Teams of All Time
Looking back at the history of basketball and its Jewish origins in New York, picking the best basketball Olympic teams from the USA is no easy task. Few national teams have been so dominant in a single sport in the history of the Olympics. The men's Olympic basketball team has brought home gold in fifteen out of eighteen Olympic appearances since the 1936 games, when basketball first became an Olympic sport, and it has always medaled. Indeed, even the times the team received silver or bronze medals have been surrounded by controversy. Regardless, nobody can question Team USA's basketball dominance. Here are ten teams who distinguished themselves as particularly impressive.
