The 2015 free agency period began at 12:01 AM Wednesday and the flurry of deals since then have barely given us a chance to catch our breath. Just over one week removed from the draft, the league will continue to move and shake in an attempt to catch up to Cleveland and Golden State. So, in honor of the period beginning, I decided to go back and look at the best free agent signings since 2000 for each team. Today, we look at the Eastern Conference and we’ll tackle the Western Conference next…

Michael Jordan was a basketball player for the Chicago Bulls. He was arguably the best basketball player to ever live. He also was an actor who starred in the movie “Space Jam”.

The 2000 Presidential election was the first time George W. Bush ran for president. He ran against Dick Cheney and won. The electoral votes were 271-266 with George having more.

In the 2008 Presidential Election first time candidate Barack Obama went against John McCain. Obama was the democratic candidate and John was the…

Lost In Judaism The year 2004 was just not a very good year overall. In this year, devastating tsunami struck multiple countries in Southeast Asia, President George W.

I also wanted to dig deeper as to why he chose to go to the NBA instead of pursing the chance he was given to play in the MLB.

An award given to someone who has spent countless amounts of hours giving back to the community. Aside from…
