My NBA All-Star Selections Final Round

Don't Worry. Tacko Falls and Alex Caruso Aren't Present

My NBA All-Star Selections Final Round

NBA All Star Voting has closed as of MLK Day, January 20, 2020. After viewing the latest fan voting results, I have determined which players will be starting and selected as reserves for the All Star Weekend in Chicago on President's Day Weekend.

** This Post Was Created before the starters were announced on 1/23 and the reserves on 1/30

Here were the latest results from online fan voting (per NBA.com):

Some interesting notes:

* Tacko Fall, who has appeared in less than 10 NBA games, has more votes than his starting Celtic teammate Gordon Hayward.

* Alex Caruso, who is a regular on the Lakers' bench has more votes than the starting guards on the LA Lakers, who are not even ranked on the results (Danny Green and Rajon Rondo)

* Stephen Curry has played less than 5 games, but has more vote than Karl-Anthony Towns and Brandon Ingram, who are having career seasons averaging over 25 points per game. D'Angelo Russell, the current Warriors starting Point Guard has less votes as well.

* The leading candidates in each conference will be captains. Last year's captains will look to repeat (assuming there is not a sudden surge of votes since this was taken) in LeBron James of the LA Lakers and Giannis Antetokoumnpo of the Milwaukee Bucks.

* Each conference will get 12 players total to the All Star Game. The 5 starters will be compromised of 2 guards and 3 front court players. 7 reserves will be comprised of 2 guards, 3 front court players, and 2 wild card flex options of any position. If any member is injured, they will be replaced with another player from their same conference who had the most next coach votes. For example, LeBron, who is in the west, cannot be replaced by Giannis, who is in the east.

After considering fan votes, media votes, player votes, coach votes, team winning, individual success, historic trends, and personal opinions, I have made my selections as to who will be announced 2020 NBA All-Stars.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
