73-9 is the record for the most wins in a season. This happened this season with the Golden State Warriors. They were destined to win the NBA title again, led by Steph Curry, record holder for most 3's in a season. However, Steph got hurt round one against the Rockets. With strong play from Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, they won the series. They then destroyed the Trailblazers, led by Damian Lillard, in a short series.

The OKC Thunder, led by Westbrook and Durant, were playing really hot after taking down the Spurs. The Spurs had only lost one game (vs. Warriors) at home this season. The Thunder took two at San Antonio. The Thunder and Warriors Western Conference finals was a crazy series. OKC was playing great and went up three games to one, and, with one win to move on, lost the last three. The Warriors dream season was still in the balance.

Lebron James and the Cavs had an easier path to get to the Finals. The Warriors came to play games one and two. Everyone thought it was about to be a sweep until the Cavs beat the Warriors by thirty in game three, but lost game four. Lebron James decided to take the whole team, put it on his back and lead his team to win the last three games along with the NBA title.

Lebron James, who is originally from Akron, Ohio, was drafted by the Cavs, but left to go to the Heat. In Miami, he went to four straight finals and won the second and third. He decided to go back home and lost in his first to the Warriors in the NBA Finals. This year, Lebron wasn't going home without a ring for his home. He led all players in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals; the first player to do so. He had a lot of help from Kyrie Irving, Tristan Thompson and Kevin Love, but he was definitely the MVP. He took down the Warriors after they were ahead three games to one. The Warriors are the first team to ever win a series after being down three games to one and then losing the finals when leading three games to one. The loss in the NBA finals outweighs the best record in NBA history.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
