18 Ridiculous Claims That Could Be Said By LaVar Ball
USA Today

Even if you don't follow sports, you've probably heard the name LaVar Ball tossed around the past few weeks. His son Lonzo plays college basketball at UCLA, and is expected to be a high pick in this summer's NBA Draft. LaVar Ball used to play college basketball himself at Washington State, just not with the impressive stats his son has at UCLA. Ball has received much criticism over the past weeks because of his ridiculous claims that he could beat Michael Jordan in one-on-one, that his three sons combined could be worth a billion dollars in future endorsement deals, that Lonzo is a better player than Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, and that Lonzo can become better than "Magic" Johnson if drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers.

If you think those claims are ridiculous, think about the claims he could make, and the comebacks you should be prepared with:

1. "I can be a better president than Donald Trump!"

That one is probably true.

2. "I could have outrun O.J. Simpson when he was in college and in the NFL!"

O.J. was pretty fast!

3. "I could have driven faster than O.J. Simpson's white Bronco during that chase!"

It would have been hard getting through that police "escort".

4. "If I murdered somebody, I could have been proven guilty faster than O.J.!"

Again, probably true, now enough with the O.J. jokes.

5. "I could coach and win more basketball games than Coach K, Jim Boeheim, and Bobby Knight combined!"

You'd probably be dead before that became a reality. Just a stretch!

6. "I'm the next Gregg Popovich in coaching!"

Can you give short answers to interview questions?

7. "I should be the Lakers coach because my boy, Lonzo, will be their next superstar!"

Even Kwame Brown played for the Lakers. Hold your horses!

8. "I can out-swear Gordon Ramsey!"

F*****' good one, you donkey!

9. "I can absolutely, 100 percent, beat Bobby Flay!"

Hey! There's a show on Food Network called "Beat Bobby Flay." You should try it!

10. "I can make a better movie than M. Night Shyamalan!"

It's very possible.

11. "I can bi-locate!"

You ain't got nothing on St. Padre Pio, bro!

12. "I can be worse than Grandpa Joe in Willy Wonka!"

Too bad there's not an entire website dedicated to you. http://saynotograndpajoe.com/

13. "The Chicago Cubs will win the World Series someday!"

Dude, that happened last year.

14. "The Cleveland Indians will get to a World Series someday!"

Dude! Again! Happened last year.

15. "The Cleveland Browns will win a Super Bowl one day!"

Now you're talking!

16. "Manos: The Hands of Fate is the greatest movie of all-time!"

It's actually been considered the worst film ever made. You actually cringe while watching it!

17. "I can make a movie with more explosions than Michael Bay!"

Dear God, nobody wants to see that!

18. "I can write an article better than the fool writing this one!"

You think so? Then you should definitely apply for the Odyssey! I'll tell you who to contact.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
