Which NBA Team is Ready to Take Down the Reigning Champion Golden State Warriors?
With the ability of NBA teams to have more cap space and sign more upper-level talent to play on the same team, "super teams" have been created. The Warriors got lucky and drafted into Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Now that they have reached their primes, they have been able to add players like Kevin Durant and even Boogie Cousins in this last free agency period to add to their already stacked roster. (It's all fun and games, until you're left with a crummy bench, like they have.)

Being a Female Student-Athlete
Hi, my name is Erica, and the basis is that I love to ski. I particularly love to do freestyle skiing, typically big mountain (with the cliffs and moguls) but, I also love to do some park (the big jumps with those tricks that makes you wonder how long it actually takes to learn a trick (or is that just me, because it takes what seems like forever to learn a new trick)).

NFL Week 2 Predictions
Ravens vs. Bengals From what we saw in Week 1 with Joe Flacco and the Ravens, I don't know if the Bengals will be able to keep this one close. The Ravens defense is much better than that of the one in Indy, so Andy Dalton's performance will probably be affected. And Joe Flacco went off against the Bills, so that should build some confidence going into their Week 2 match-up.

Cricketing Summer Ends on a High
The final test match of the English summer ended in another comfortable win for England. It was an emotional day as Alistair Cook bowed out of Test Cricket and James Anderson passed Glenn McGrath’s total to become the seam bowler with the most wickets. Not a bad way to end a positive summer for England.

The Man Who Would've Been an All American
As I was sitting at by a computer in the computer lab at my school, I skimmed YouTube. I noticed the trailer to this movie starring Finn Wittrock and Aaron Eckhart called My All American. I watched the trailer and I was immediate drawn to watch the movie. Once I watched it, I automatically fell in love with it.

NBA Atlantic Division Predictions
The Atlantic Division will no doubt give us the Eastern Conference's best competition this next year. The three top teams of the East (Toronto, Philadelphia, and Boston) last year will arguably be even better than last year. But how good are these teams going to be coming into the 2018-19 season? Let's take a look

Best NBA Players of All Time
When considering the best NBA players to ever hit the court, many names come to mind. While today's game will likely prove to be a golden age of basketball, history has given us many legends on the shoulders of which the likes of Stephen Curry, Lebron James, and other future greats stand. But who are the best of all time? Is Lebron in thatconversation yet? What makes a GOAT? The only real way to tell is to determine who is definitely in it. Here is a list of some of the greatest players ever on the court, and some reasons why they ought to be considered so.

Predictions: New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans have already established themselves as a playoff contending team, but the question is, how far can they go? I think one of the biggest questions is how losing DeMarcus Cousins will affect them. The Pelicans were already a decent team before they added Boogie, but another all-star definitely elevates their game. The problem is that it didn’t. The Pelicans didn’t really seem to improve with Boogie on the team. In fact, it seemed like the Pelicans played better when he was out with injury than with him on the court. Facing two superstar big men is no fun to think about, but Boogie doesn’t help the team chemistry at all and that hurts. When Boogie got hurt and was ruled out for the rest of the year, the Pelicans made a move to get Nikola Mirotic. At the time, to me, it didn’t seem like the greatest move and that they were just desperate and traded away some valuable role players along with a draft pick, but in the end, the move ended up being great for the Pelicans. Mirotic showed that he played very well in the Pelicans system, and in the 30 games he played in NO, he averaged almost 15 PPG.
