If you ask a room full of people who the best basketball player is in the NBA you might get a few different answers. You might get a few Lebrons and Durants, or even a Kobe for the bitter Laker fan who can't let go of the past. But as of today many people will side with the baby-faced assassin, Stephen Curry. Over the last year Curry has cultivated the hearts of NBA fans all over America. Many believe Steph is good, but is he the best player in the NBA? Here are five reasons why Steph Curry is the best player in the NBA.

1. He is an amazing shooter.

Stephen Curry is by far one of the best shooters in the NBA. He shoots 46 percent from the three point line. To put that in perspective Curry is better shooting from 30 feet than Clippers' DeAndre Jordan is from the free throw line. Curry's lightning quick release is hitting its mark.

2. He is incredibly marketable.

In the NBA today, the superstar not only has to be a great player, but also marketable. He is very commercial friendly. Curry has no off the field issues which made him a perfect candidate for sponsorships, such as Under Armour. His smile and his family are absolutely charming. It's hard to be a Curry hater.

3. He can handle the ball.

Curry has dazzled us all with numerous jaw dropping moments. He handles the ball like a mix between John Stockton and Hot Sauce. He shoots half court shots with no effort and makes great defense just look "ehh." Curry is so good that he makes the video games seem unreal. He shoots extremely tough shots and makes them look normal. He's not a cheat code. He 's just really that good.

4. He's a great defensive player.

Along with sniper like shooting from the perimeter, he is also the best ball handler in the league. His great ball handles compliment his crafty driving and finishing ability. Running him off the 3pt line will only lead to him getting to the rim time after time. He also plays great defense and his speed definitely gives him an edge.

5. He is on the best team in the League.

Curry doesn't have to play well for the Warriors to win. The Warriors are a complete team with sharpshooter Klay Thompson on the other wing and the likes of Draymond Green in alot of pick and roll action. The Warriors also have one of the best benches in the NBA. The team seems to play better when the star is not playing his best. Stats show that the Warriors are 13-0 when Curry scores less than 25 points.

Curry’s quick release and quirky smile is surging for an unbelievable year. The Warriors are on pace to break the 95'-96' Bulls 72 game win record. Stephen Curry is on track to win the scoring title as well as MVP. His Warriors are a favorite to win the finals once again. As if Curry needs anymore validation than he already has.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
