3 Reasons Why This NBA Season Will Be Great

As the NBA season is approaching, here are three reasons why the NBA season, If you lived under a rock during the month of July and missed free agency, here is what you need to know; a lot of people went to different teams and some of these people are superstars.

1. Super Teams

If you ask Derrick Rose there are two super teams in the NBA, the Golden State Warriors and the New York Knick. Lets not kid our selves, the Knicks aren't on the same level as the Warriors. Sure the Knicks will be fun to watch, but they don't have four all-stars in their prime. All though a lot of people hate the Warriors for signing Kevin Durant, you can't deny that they will be fun to watch. On the Warriors, you have two time MVP Stephen Curry, gold medalist Klay Thompson, MVP Kevin Durant, gold medalist Draymond Green, and who can forget two time Shaqtin a Fool MVP Javale McGee.

2. Rookies

This NBA draft had some really good rookies like Ben Simmons, Brandon Ingram, Kris Dunn, and Dragen Bender just to name a few. It will be very interesting to see how these rookies will play in their first NBA games. When you look at the situations Dunn, Ingram, and Simmons are in, they are all paired with good young talent. Kris Dunn is paired with Andrew Wiggins, Karl Anthony Towns, and Zach Lavine now that is a super team in the making. Brandon Ingram is paired up with DeAngelo Russell, Julius Randle, and Jordan Clarkson.

3. Homecomings

Every NBA season we look forward to the rivalries and homecoming games for superstars that left long time teams, and this year is no different. February 11 is a big date, one its right before the all-star weekend, and two it is when Kevin Durant returns to Oklahoma City. You can expect that he will get some really loud boos. Long time Miami Heat icon Dwyane Wade left the Heat to join the Bulls, and his first trip back to south beach will be on November 10th. Lastly we can't forget about the reigning champions hosting the super team on Christmas Day as the Warriors head to the Q to have LeBron James.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
