LeBron James is in his 14th NBA season and he has already solidified himself as an all-time great in NBA history with tremendous seasons and memorable moments. There are so many moments to pick from James’ career as his career defining moment.

His former teammate and best friend, Dwyane Wade, said that James’ comeback to win the NBA Finals and bring a title to Cleveland was his defining moment. “In the Finals, not having home court advantage… it was special,” Wade said. “I think that moment right there really put him where he probably wanted to be, where everybody thought he was going to be one day when he was deemed the Chosen One.”

Wade’s comments spark up the question, what’s James’ career defining moment?

Was it in Game 5 of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals? James dropped 48 points with 25 of them being the final 29 points for the Cavaliers in what Steve Kerr who was commentating the game, called it a, “Jordan Esque,” performance.

Was it Game 6 of the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals? James was on the brink of elimination again, and was being heavily criticized for not being able to win a championship. He went into Boston, scored 45 points, grabbed 15 rebounds to win game 6 and went on to win game 7 for the Miami Heat on his way to his first championship.

How about Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals when James scored 37 points and winning back to back titles in Miami?

Or is Wade right and James’ performance in his 3-1 comeback on the 73-9 Golden State Warriors to bring the first professional championship to Cleveland in over 50 years was his defining moment?

Vote here for what you think is James Career Defining moment.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
