Who Is The MVP of the NBA?


This is a widely discussed topic in basketball circles on who is MVP every year, and most people have valid arguments on who is MVP.
But for me, the MVP of the league is Giannis Antetokounmpo.
This is because he has taken the Bucks as the lone super star on that team and has made them the best team in the NBA record wise.
Just last season the Bucks were 44-38  on the season and finished in 7th place in a week Eastern Conference that did not have Kawhi Leonard yet on the Raptors. Not to mention a injured Celtics and young 76ers team.
Now, the 76ers through trades are a legit threat to the Warriors, the Raptors are a way better team with Kawhi than with Demar DeRozan with all do respect to him, and if the Celtics can figure out a good rotation for them they can be a threat as well.
But, above all those teams is the Milwaukee Bucks lead by Giannis.
Currently on the year Giannis is averaging a career high 27.4 points per game, a career high 12.5 rebounds per game, a career high 6.5 assists per game, and a career high 57.7% from the field.
And those are just his career highs so far on the season. Giannis has also been averaging 1.3 steals per game and 1.4 blocks per game.
And this performance has led the Bucks to a 59-20 record. 15 wins higher already on the season than last season and they still have three games left on the season.
But, there is only one person that is right there with Giannis for MVP and that is James Harden of the Houston Rockets.
Harden is having a historical season himself as he as averaging 36.3 points per game, 6.5 rebounds, and 7.5 assists.
But one of the only knocks against Harden is that his team isn’t as successful as Giannis’s, but his team in general is better and has more pieces around him.
Giannis’s next best teammate is Eric Bledsoe, where as Harden’s next best teammate is Chris Paul.
Bledsoe is a good Point Guard but is not even considered a star, and Paul is and has been considered a super star for many years now.
So with everything said, even though Harden scores more points, Giannis effects the game and his team more, and is my MVP.

Finally Efficient

In my last post I mentioned the Trojans needing to be efficient, especially after shooting 19 percent from three the previous game. I guess they listened because the game against Arkansas State on Saturday was a really good and efficient win to get the Trojans back on track as they took down the Red Wolves 100 to 89. The Trojans shot just over 50 percent from three for the game shooting 14 for 27 from three and right at 43 percent from the field. And this is the type of efficiency that the Trojans have been searching for most of this season. Countless times I’ve talked to the coaching staff after games and they have talked about putting together a full game and being consistent. And this was one of the few games where they have been able to do that. Not only were they consistent on the offensive end, but they were consistent on defense as well. They had a total of 14 steals for the game to go along with two blocks. They played team defense and communicated well on defe...

How To Hit a Pitch: For Softball or Baseball

            1. Watch the Ball: One of the most important things to do when trying to hit a pitch is to keep your eyes on the ball. If you keep your eyes on the ball, your natural reaction when swinging a bat will be to bring your hands and bat towards the ball. And with practice, you will start to hit the ball. And the key is not to just watch the ball, but to watch it all the way to your bat. If you take your eyes off of the ball for even just a split second, you have a good chance of winging and missing.             2. Be Patient: When trying to hit a pitch, you have to be patient. You can’t chase the ball outside and expect to hit it. You have to pick a pitch that you want to hit, and try to look for that pitch. And that leads into the next lesson.             3. Find Your Pitch: Every hitter has a certain pitch that they love to see thrown towards them and a certain area where they like...

Softball On A Roll

As of late, the Softball team has been on a role and have won 12 games in a row.             Their most recent win was over conference rival South Alabama . And anyone who knows about that rivalry knows that it doesn’t matter what your record going into that game is. Both teams will play it close no matter what, and that’s exactly what happened.             Coming into that game, Troy was riding high on an eleven-game win streak, while South was struggling to try to get just their 3 rd win in conference and 13 th win overall.             Troy had started off slow, but picked it up in the third inning with 3 runs with Kaylee Hussey and Bailey Taylor both picking up RBIs. But, that is where the scoring would stop for the Trojans as they would go on to finish the game only scoring those 3 runs.    ...
