He averaged 20.2 points per game, while becoming a starter. He was now the head of the snake in the Spartan offense. Everything ran through him; he was now the poster boy of the Spartans. It wouldn't be till his final two years of high school that the phenomenon known as Greg Simpson would fruition. Greg’s junior year of high school he did the unthinkable; became Mr. Basketball for the state of Ohio. This year he also set the school record for points scored in…

identical 48-34 records. It will be the second time in three years these two teams will meet in the first round. This matchup will be a lot different from the 2014 meeting. That year the Heat were the top seed in the East on their way to a fourth straight finals appearance, while the Hornets were lucky to sneak in. The Hornets were swept that year, and both teams failed to make the playoffs last year. Don’t expect the same results this time around. Both come in with the same record, but got…

their significant players in the free agent world as well, however, perception is not reality. When your best free agent signing over the last decade and a half is Andray Blatche—a man who was out of the NBA by age 28—you probably should reconsider where you stand as a heavy hitter in the NBA.

My Contributions to the World – Michael Jordan Although I have reached the highest level of success in basketball, I have forgotten the people and places that have supported me in achieving my dreams. With my charities, I have worked to touch the lives of many people across the country and beyond to make a difference.

Being savage is being clutch and fierce in the moment. If you are savage, you can take a moment and determine the outcome. You are the factor that can bring your team to victory, or drag them down to defeat. You don’t feel the pressure when it is a must win situation. A savage would do what would be necessary to win.
