Why You Should be Excited for the NBA’s Future

The Rose that Could Bloom Again

Photo Credit: Daily Knicks Derrick Rose is a walking what-if. Now at age 28, Rose has been separated by time from his past glory. He was the youngest MVP the NBA has ever seen before. Born in Chicago, Rose had the expectations similar to those of LeBron James. The Chicago Bulls had been going through the worst years in franchise history.

The Curse Is Over: How the Cubs Did It

Photo Credit: ABC7Chicago I cannot believe it happened. It still boggles my mind more than 3 days later that the Chicago Cubs have won the 2016 MLB World Series. It seemed hopeless at more than a couple of times for the Cubs to take home the pennant. But somehow, someway, Chicago beat the Cleveland Indians to win their first World Series in over a century. … Continue reading The Curse Is Over: How the Cubs Did It

MLB Postseason Predictions: Why Any Team Could Win the World Series

Photo Credit: UPI (featured image), ESPN (team logos) The MLB may just be the only sport where any team in the postseason has a solid chance at winning the World Series. For example, 16 teams make the NBA Playoffs, yet only two or three really have a good shot at taking home the title. The NFL is slightly better given that their playoffs are one game series. … Continue reading MLB Postseason Predictions: Why Any Team Could Win the World Series

For example, a player in the NBA who scores 25 points per … Continue reading To All Cubs’ Fans: The Curse WILL Continue
