3 reasons why Paul George should be the MVP

Houston Rocket's James Harden is considered to be the "odd-on" favorite to win the NBA MVP award for the second year in a row, however there are great contenders this year such as Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks and Paul George from the Oklahoma City Thunder, but Paul George is the most consistent out of 3 candidates and here's why!

3 reasons why Paul George should be the MVP

1. His leadership.

Thriving!

The first season when Paul George arrived in OKC with Carmelo Anthony and they were supposed to go toe to toe with the Golden State Warriors, but Oklahoma City Thunder finished fourth in the conference with a 48-34 record and they only won two games against the Utah Jazz. Right when the Thunder lost in the first round, the rumors about where Paul George was going began to surface. Paul George decided to stay in Oklahoma City and so far his numbers gone up and the team is more cohesive.

2. He makes it easier for Russell Westbrook.

Best duo ever!

One thing that I love about Paul George is that he is a great teammate to Russell Westbrook. Ever since Kevin Durant left Oklahoma City, people think that Russell Westbrook is a bad teammate and that is far from the truth. Russell Westbrook is still averaging great numbers, but he is letting Paul George take most of the workload rather just keeping the ball and shooting. Westbrook finally has someone that he can rely on to hit the winning shot after Kevin Durant left.

3. His Career Stats.

Russell Westbrook is considered to be a "ball hog" and who would have thought. So far, Paul George is averaging 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 31 blocks, while shooting 45% from the field. He is currently leading the league in steals which helps Oklahoma City defend effectively.

I know that there isn't a huge chance that Paul George will win MVP based on the numbers that James Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo are putting up on there respective teams, however at the ever least he deserves to be in the conversation and Defensive Player of the Year, because of the career numbers that he putting up.

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
