Proof The US Men's Basketball Team's Snapchats Are Everything

The 2016 Rio Olympics have been one for the books: records have been shattered, dopers have been banned and pools have turned green. Some of the more memorable moments for the US teams have been Michael Phelps earning his 23rd gold medal, Simone Biles dominating the all around gymnastics finals and Simone Manuel becoming the first black woman to win an individual gold in swimming. Despite this amazing showing, I think we can all agree that the true entertainment, and real highlight of the 2016 Rio Olympics, has been the US Men's Basketball team's Snapchats.

Snapchat has created ways to make watching important sporting events, such as the Olympics, easy and interactive with its story features and its "Live" geotags. Both features allow everyone worldwide to watch highlights from athletes, coaches and spectators' snapchat stories in order to feel like a part of the group. The basketball team has capitalized on that and made the most amazing snap stories of all time.

During some of the early days, the team traveled to famous Rio landmarks such as the famous "Christ the Redeemer" statue. Naturally, the Golden State Warriors player Draymond Green captured the moment:

Speaking of Green, his Snapchat might be in the running for MVP because he has successfully captured many team members sleeping:


Along with Green's constant sleep snaps, Kyrie Irving has been killing the game with his constant documentation and referencing of teammate Carmelo Anthony:


But of course, some of my personal favorites have come from the team's constant support for other athletes at various sporting events. Most recently they attended a boxing match and shared some amazing moments that only people as amazingly tall as them can understand.




A few days ago, as many people probably noticed, they became huge Michael Phelps fans, and their snapchats at one of Phelps' key events were priceless works of art.


What's great is they let us know when they are just enjoying life

Not to mention they thank their moms after winning:

But most of all, they annoy each other like we all annoy our own friends and we remember they are just like us. Because we follow them on Snapchat, we are friends with them, too:


So thanks Melo, Draymond, KD and Kyrie for making the Olympics that much better for all of us Snapchatters out there.

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.

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.
