Lebron James Interview with CJ Emery
People.com

This interview is with a friend I met in New Hampshire while I worked at a rich kids summer camp. While we weren't with the kids we were making half court shot bets and you can pretty much guess who won. I can tell you one thing though the man CJ knew how to find great eating spots when we had our days off. All around cool guy who is also a great hockey player. Let's get to the interview!

Q:Who are you?

1.My name is CJ Emery I am 20 years old. You can follow me on Instagram @cjemery.

Q:How'd you find out about LeBron James?

2.I found out about lebron James mostly from being in LA and hearing people talk about wanting to see a lebron Kobe matchup.

Q:First reaction when you saw him play?

3.I can't remember the first time I ever saw him play. But everytime I've seen him play since ive started to get into basketball all I can ever really think about is how dominant he is.

Q:Favorite LeBron Game?

4.Not a favorite game but favorite series was his last finals in Cleveland. The way he carried his team all the way to the finals and managed to make a couple of those games close is nothing less than incredible.

Q:Player's Biggest Weakness?

5.I think his biggest weakness was worrying about his legacy too much. I can't really blame him for that since he's had to live with the Lebron MJ discussion for the past 10 years but I think it's hurt his rep. I also think on the court he's been guilty of trying to make too much happen.

Q:Biggest Strength?

6.I think his biggest strength is his IQ. He is unlike probably any other player in any other sport (besides Gretzky) in his ability to read the game. That is why he has been able to do so much with so little.

Q:First reaction when he won his first championship?

7.I was happy for him. It took a lot of guts to leave that bad situation in Cleveland that was his home town that he had put up with for so long. Obviously I wasn't thrilled with how he did it but I mean they made it work within the rules so I can't be mad.

Q:Thoughts on LeBron v Jordan V Kobe?

8.I've got lebron then MJ then Kobe. I think raw stats matter mire than finals wins and Lebron beats Jordan in most of those stats easily. I also think lebron has a more well rounded game than Kobe and also aged better than he did (as a lifelong lakers fan those last couple years were tough to watch). Lebron often catches flak for not having a "killer instinct" but I've always chalked that up more to his self awareness than anything else.

Q: Predictions for him this season?

9.I think in my biased opinion that he has a good shot of winning a title this year. So far he's seemed really willing and able to turn over more and more control to AD and other guys in the team. He's also playing more defense than he has in previous years. He won't put up the same points as he usually has but I see him going 23-10-7 with a couple of monster games when he feels like he needs to turn on the jets and take control.

Q:Predictions for rest of career?

10.I think he will continue to age gracefully much like Wade where he accepts more limited roles. He also relies more on IQ and less on athleticism then some other stars so that can extend his longevity. I think he'll win 1-2 rings in LA and then maybe another 1-2 over the rest of his career and retires after a season with his son (maybe tries to win one with him depending on the team.)

Shout out to my boy CJ for the awesome interview!!!! Just hoping all this basketball talk makes him a better half court shooter but I highly doubt it. I look forward to running into him again so I can beat him again.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
