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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
