Finals MVP Has Stephen Curry's Name On It
Instagram

Heading into Wednesday night's game at Golden State the Finals is tied at 1-1 between the Warriors and the Raptors. The Warriors have had to deal with a slew of injuries including Kevin Durant being out for what looks like is the first 3 games, as well as Klay Thompson going down in game 2 after straining his hamstring. In addition, previous Finals MVP Andre Iguodala also was limping in the locker room after game 2. The pressure for game 3 rests on the shoulders of Steph Curry who hasn't won the Finals MVP during his career despite being on 3 championship teams. Without his other weapons Curry needs to perform in order to defeat the Raptors, but it won't be easy against Toronto's stout defense. Without Durant, the Warriors become the first team since the 1991 Lakers to play a Finals game without their leading scorer from the regular season. The Warriors would be without their third leading scorer from the regular season if Klay misses game 3. Steph has been known as a team player and very unselfish in terms of who gets the spotlight, he would rather his team win even if it means sacrificing his own stats and performance. Curry has won regular season back to back MVPs but is still looking to add "Finals MVP" to his already impressive resumé. Curry's teammates have stated they want him to join the elite company of Finals MVPs as it is fairly certain that Steph will be in the Hall of Fame after his career is over.

Toronto has to take advantage of the injuries to Golden State by winning game 3, in order to for Toronto to win the Finals they have to steal a game on the road while winning their remaining two home games. The best opportunity to steal a road win would be before Durant returns which could be as early as game 4 which is also in Golden State. Analysts have been stating that the pressure is on the defending champs in Golden State for game 3, I disagree. There is no better opportunity for Toronto to take control of this series by winning on Wednesday night due to the fact that nobody really knows how soon KD will be ready to return.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
