All the attention in the NBA has been about the Warriors arguably being the best team ever and where LeBron is going next summer. The Kyrie Irving trade demand news has took over the NBA offseason. All this stuff going on in the offseason has took away from a crucial question. Did Danny Ainge make the Boston Celtics better or did he actually make them worse? All last season their were rumors about Gordon Hayward joining the Boston Celtics this summer because he was an upcoming free agent and his college coach at Butler University Brad Stevens coaches the Celtics now. Even in the one game the Utah Jazz came to Boston they gave Gordon Hayward a standing ovation when he was introduced. This caused one of Boston's current players Jae Crowder to be mad about it because the play the same position. The fans knew about the rumors and they wanted to show Hayward a preview of the love that he would receive if he signed there. Danny Ainge went out and got Hayward and Boston fans were

Sports is all about comparisons, we compare people from different eras all the time. The LeBron and Jordan comparison in the NBA is an great example, the Tom Brady and Joe Montana comparison in the NFL. These are just examples that keep the sports conversations going on and on. It's pretty fun to talk about when you have people around you that know what they are talking about. The best player in every sport is always an debate. This is an debate that goes on forever and it's always interesting to hear what people have to say and their reasoning for saying the things they say. I'm here to tell everyone this, Mike Trout at this rate will be the best player of all time when he retires. The way he has came and dominated baseball since he was called up on July 8th, 2011 is just purely amazing. In his 5 full seasons he has made the AL all-star team all 5 times and finished top 2 in the AL MVP voting all 5 times. He won the AL MVP award in '14 and '16 and if Migue

With training camp for most NFL teams coming up, we ask the same question every year, who's the Super Bowl contenders? Over the last 2 decades the New England Patriots was probably brought up in the conservation if they knew what they were talking about. They've won 5 Super Bowls in the last 17 years and they have the potential to make it 6 this upcoming season. Reasons why the Patriots have been dominant for so long are honestly very simple. They have a great owner in Robert Kraft, probably the best coach of all time in Bill Belichick, and arguably the greatest quarterback of all time in Tom Brady. Robert Kraft brought the Patriots in 1994 for 172 million dollars, and he turned the franchise around immediately. They have sold every game out since he brought the franchise. Kraft has been big in the union negotiations with the players union and all. He has been the head of turning the Patriots into an NFL dynasty. Bill Belichick is the person that gets everybody in

This summer all the talk around the NBA has been around the next NBA offseason as a lot of big names will be free agents. Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Demarcus Cousins, Paul George, and DeAndre Jordan have the potential of being a free agent in the summer of 2018. The one problem is there's another player that can become a free agent in 2018 and he's arguably the best player of this generation, LeBron James. James at 32 is still the best player in the league and he has control of the whole NBA next offseason because it all starts on where he decides to play in the 2018-2019 season. LeBron most likely has 2 maybe 3 seasons as the best player in the league and teams are getting prepared to try and sign him. The same thing happened in 2010 when LeBron became a free agent and some NBA teams gutted their teams trying to sign James. Wherever he decides to go it will change the whole league around. If he stays in the Eastern Conference he will probably make the finals again a

In the inner city of Los Angeles you grow up fast and you see a lot of things. Things that young children aren't supposed to see. Things like this have affects on there lives because it's hard to process what's going on at an young age. At 10 years old I was shot at by some unknown people. I was coming home from basketball practice and as I got out the car bullets started coming from every which way. I ran in the house not really knowing what's going on. This is just an example of what our kids go through everyday until this day. This is what messes with our young children. They see this and most of the time they follow it because they think it's cool. We don't show examples of what to do, instead we teach how to be gang members and hold a gun. We will teach the kids what color they are supposed to be loyal to and won't teach them how to read or write at the next level. The young adults are who the children look up to and we have to do a better

As a African American growing up in the inner city of Los Angeles, California I've seen a lot of things in my life time. I've been shot at, robbed, beat up by a group of Latinos at school, or just bullied in general. Growing up like that sheds light on your surroundings quickly and how things work in the inner city. I graduated from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff in May and while doing that I met a bunch of great people on the way. People that are just amazing and some people that I look up to. Naturally when you graduate from a school you might want to stay there or stay somewhere around there. That's why it hurts to see the shooting at Power Ultra Lounge in Little Rock, Arkansas on Friday night. From the reports I saw at least 17 people were shot. It was probably a bunch of people I knew in there and it hurts to know that innocent people were shot. It hurts to see this happen in the inner cities around the country. Some people think that this only happe
