Life's Too Sports

With the 2015 NBA Championship clinched, the Golden State Warriors were forced to quickly alter their focus onto the 2015 NBA Draft, where they held the 30th overall pick. And although there was serious speculation that the Warriors would attempt to move the pick in an effort to trade David Lee, no significant moves were made. Instead, with the 30th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors selected PF Kevon Looney, from the UCLA Bruins. While this pick was definitely scrutinized by many experts, the Warriors seem to believe that they have acquired a player of immense skill - a player that will go down in NBA history as an unbelievable "steal". The 6'9, 220 pound forward averaged 11.6 points and 9.2 rebounds per game in his freshman season at UCLA, finishing with 15 double-doubles before declaring for the 2015 NBA Draft. And while his injuries may keep him sidelined for an extensive portion of his rookie season in the NBA, he should prove himself as...

After 40 stressful years of failure and disappointment, the Golden State Warriors have renewed their status as NBA Champions. And while this should be a perfect opportunity for Golden State to celebrate, head coach Steve Kerr is taking this time to exhale and process what his team has finally accomplished. "I can't tell you how many things are going through my mind because we've spent so much of our time competing," Kerr said. "But the one thing I'd forgotten was the grind. It has been 12 years since I'd last been here with San Antonio, and it's a long, grueling two months." While Kerr takes a breather in an effort to allow his team to savor the victory, however, the unselfish leaders of the 2014-2015 NBA Champions continue throwing compliments at one specific individual, NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala. "I always said Andre's a pro's pro," said Warriors forward Draymond Green. "He's a professional guy and it sho...

FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1975, THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS. It has been nearly seventeen hours since Stephen Curry heaved the ball into the air as the Warriors celebrated their first NBA Championship in 40 seasons. And with this title under their belts, it is beginning to set in for Golden State fans how truly special their championship-caliber roster was this season. A roster that swept the New Orleans Pelicans in the Quarterfinals, rallied from a seemingly insurmountable 2-1 series deficit to dispatch of the Memphis Grizzlies in six Semifinal games, and demolished the Houston Rockets in an almost embarrassing five-game Conference Finals series victory... However, all of the aforementioned victories were merely small steps leading up to Golden State's dethroning of King James in the NBA Finals to assume their position as the new-found NBA Champions. Additionally, all of these victories came without the Warriors being forced to utilize their inco...

Tonight's Game 6 of the 2015 NBA Finals promises to be a showdown for the ages. Sitting in front of the Golden State Warriors, a golden opportunity to finally win an NBA Title, which is something that has eluded them for many decades. Standing in the way of their glorious pursuit, the Cleveland Cavaliers, a team that has never been so close to permanently etching their names into the NBA record books. And although their squad seems to be at a great disadvantage, LeBron James (A.K.A the most dominant NBA player of this generation) will certainly not go down without a fight. However, if the Warriors are to finish off the 2014-2015 NBA season on this evening, they will be fulfilling the long-time dreams of more than their current roster. Rather, a victory tonight will undoubtedly please a wide variety of legendary players who came before them. Among a long list of names of Warriors' greats are players such as Mitch Richmond, Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway,...

In an effort to centralize my reading core, I have decided to begin posting all of my blogs at "http://www.silvachristopher.blogspot.com/". This is an article which I wrote on Opening Day of the 2015 MLB Regular Season. Thank you for supporting my work. As the first pitch of the 2015 season approaches for San Francisco, many MLB analysts across the nation have already discounted the defending World Series Champion Giants, claiming that they are not deep enough, their luck has run out, or they can only win "in even years". Nevertheless, the fact of the matter is: with the difficulties that San Francisco has overcome, as well as the ability that they possess to somehow maintain their composure in the most intense of scenarios, this Giants franchise is going to continue to be a threat each and every season for many years to come. Though some may question many of the decisions made by San Francisco's management, the fact that they have guided thei...
