Will The Golden State Warriors Make History?

Will they be making history or have history repeating itself?

Will The Golden State Warriors Make History?
Wallx

On Sunday, April 10, 2016 the Golden State Warriors did something that has not been done by a team since the infamous Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls. The Warriors record is now 72-9, having reached 72 wins in a single season, something the Chicago Bulls had done to set the standards for the best record in NBA history in their magical 1995-1996 year. With one game left in the season for Golden State before the 2015-2016 NBA playoffs the question remains, will the Warriors reach that record breaking number of 73 wins?

Watching the Golden State Warriors match history with their 72nd win, it can't help but be thought that this team is made of something special this season. Steph Curry has lead this team above and beyond expectations, but will anything they do for the rest of the season really mean as much if they fail to make history?

On Wednesday, April 13th, against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Golden State Warriors have a chance to do something no team has ever done before. But if they don't, will nothing else compare? Will the fact that they are the first team in all of the NBA to not lose back-to-back games mean anything? If they go onto winning the Championship, will their consecutive titles mean anything? Will the fact that they are the first team since 1996 to win 72 games in a regular season mean anything? Or will the regret of not winning that 73rd game sum up this entire season for the Golden State Warriors?

The quest to make history is a dangerous one. The opportunity to fail just as prominent as the opportunity to succeed. The Golden State Warriors are favored to win the 2015-2016 NBA Championship, but reaching the magic number of 73 is something never done before and could truly be their legacy. One can only imagine what can be going through the team's mind as they step out onto the court. The possibility in front of them to either put their name in the record books or just think about what could of been.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

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.
