“I am like any other man, all I do is supply a demand” was one of the many famous quotes said by one of the most powerful gangsters during the nineteenth century- Al “Scarface” Capone. While this quote might seem innocent, Al Capone was far from that. The demand he supplies often costs peoples lives, lots of money and emotional/physical distress. While the consequences of his actions meant disaster for some, he was still an important figure in the 1920s American History because he was known as…

My time in the NBA was fun because of all the thing I was able to see and do. During my time I was able to influence many people . My time in Philly was definitely the peak in my career not only because of all the success I had but also because of all the support I got. When I was picked the fans believed in me and from that point I knew I was gonna be great. When I first came into the league I wanted to be different as a player and how I present myself. Most notably as my choice in clothes,…

You may be ready to coronate the Golden State Warriors again, and rightfully so. At 64-7, Golden State is on pace to edge out the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls for the best record in NBA regular season history (72-10). So it's a foregone conclusion that this three-ball bombing brigade from the Bay will hoist back-to-back trophies, right? Well, I've got another theory. The San Antonio Spurs will dash the Warriors' dynastic dreams, and Tim Duncan will ride off into the sunset as a six-time champion.…

Although these two have been through a lot together, and have been like brothers. Kevin Durant decided to leave Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Golden State Warriors, the team who previously…

The draft is finally here! Congratulations to the Cleveland Cavs and their fans. The NBA felt so bad for LeBron leaving to take his talents to South Beach that the NBA decided to award number one pick for the 3rd time since that moment. You have the number one pick!! Maybe the rules should be changed, so that the same team can’t keep winning the draft lottery. I’m sure a fan of the Timberwolves or the Kings would agree. They’ve never won the lottery, even though it seems like they’ve had…
