NBA Conference FinalsTop 10 Players (Sports)

By

    The list of the 10 best players in the final four teams left in the 2024 NBA Playoffs. This is not a ranking of who has had the best career or who has the brightest future, it is the best 10 players right now. 


  1. Luka Doncic

    When Luka isn’t yelling at the refs he is one of the most pure offensive basketball players in the game today, maybe of all time. At his best he can carry the Mavs to the finals and win the dang thing. 


  1. Jayson Tatum 

    Taum is not only an elite level scorer but plays defense and crashes the boards. For some reason he is penalized for consistently making playoff runs and being on the best teams. Just a reminder he is only 26 years old still. 


  1. Anthony Edwards 

    Yes, he may be the up and coming face of the league because of his personality but his defense and midrange shot are special. Even better, not only does he welcome the moment but he attacks the moment. 


  1. Kyrie Irving

    Kyrie might be my favorite person to watch play basketball, like ever. He is one of the most skilled players of all time and seems to have taken the role of leader of this Mavs team. 


  1. Jaylen Brown 

    Jaylon Brown might not be better than Tatum but he is starting to look like the alpha this team needs and despite his much criticized dribbling skills he is scoring at a high level. Oh yeah and like Tatum he keeps on winning. 


  1. Tyrese Haliburton 

    Haliburton has come a long way since his game 5 no show vs the Knicks and he is doing big things as a playmaker for the Pacers while he is clearly not 100%. He may be a bit overrated in the media right now but the dude deserves credit for leading his young team this far.


  1. Pascal Siakam 

    In classic Toronto and Indianplois fashion Siakam falls under the radar. However he has been a pivotal offensive and defensive player for the Pacers and make no mistake the Pacers wouldn’t have made it this far without them. 


  1. Rudy Gobert 

    Gobert is always gonna be made fun of no matter how good he plays. But let’s give him his flowers. He is the defensive player of the year who unquestionably impacts the game immensely on the side of the court. 


  1. Jrue Holiday 

    Every team would kill to have a guy like Jrue Holiday on their team. He is a winning player who plays hard, plays great defense, and seems to care more about winning than his numbers. 



  1. Kristaps Porzingis

    If he can stay healthy he is a disrupting defensive and offensive presence and makes the Celtics nearly unbeatable. That’s the key hesitation, “if he can stay healthy.” I still think he is better than KAT though.

The Simple, Painful Beauty of Lizzie McAlpine's "To the Mountains" (Music)

By
  It’s April 5th, 2024, a rainy morning awaits outside my window. As I drag myself out of bed for the last day before the weekend, I must admit, I’m feeling sluggish. I’m practically sleepwalking through classes and meetings until I sit down to write. Why is there nothing in my brain? I pop in my AirPods, both of them even though the right one is useless, I do it mostly for the vibes or the hope I won’t be interrupted by people passing by my table. With one slight sound of a guitar, joy and a bit of sadness begin to paint my face as Lizzy McAlpine’s “To the Mountains” plays. This is what I will write about. Today is no ordinary day for my sad boy music taste. It is the day that my favorite musician has released a brand new album, however I won’t listen to that for another few hours. I must wait for when I can go back to the solitude of my Lazy Boy chair and my Beats in the dark of my bedroom. For now I’ll settle with one of McAlpine's older tunes, a melancholy about finding sol...

Nolan: Worth the Time? (Movies)

By
  The era of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy spanned for three movies, and seven years. They are centered around billionaire Bruce Wayne, portrayed by Christian Bale and follows him from his origins to the ending of his time as the Caped Crusader.  Though following the formula of Batman’s typical origin story: a) dead parents, b) turning to a life of crime to gain vengeance, and the obvious:  c) becoming the Batman, Christopher Nolan adds a grittier element yet to be seen on screen in the form of the League of Shadows. This trilogy is based around Bruce Wayne’s time as Batman as he walks the thin line between being Gotham’s hero, and being an ill-famed vigilante. As aforementioned, Christopher Nolan is highly regarded as being one of the strongest directors to be currently producing films. Between period pieces to science fiction, you can assume it will be tackled with the typical Nolan style. As confirmed by the countless positive reviews by fans and critics alik...
