In my writing I always try to make everything as easy to understand as possible. I think that is the most important part besides grammar and spelling. If your ideas are all over the place or you leave thoughts unfinished there is a disconnect between ideas. Having good seaways between paragraphs, points, or sentences is key in making your writing easy to read and understand. I love writing about sports and talking about sports so this blog is easy for me to think of subjects and debatable topics on. Non-Fiction is always been my best way of writing as well as brainstorming. Fiction stories are always tough for me to write because I don't have that creative piece to add in things that can't happen in real life. This blog has been fairly easy for me to think of ideas and put them together because there is always something happening in sports. The college football season is in the fall and then is followed by the college basketball season as well as the NFL season. During this time of year I have the NBA to write about and when none of those sports are happening there is always golf on. Its on year around every Thursday through Sunday. Writing about sports, I think, is one of the easiest things to write about because you can talk about players's stories, statistics, outcomes of games, or anything else that can come up in a season. When writing this blog I have tried to keep all of these things in my head and combine them in order to make interesting content.

At the time of writing this Carmelo Anthony is still on the Knicks. He has recently been looking to get traded, as well as the Knicks are trying to get rid of him. Carmelo is looking for a team that can win and can win now. This leaves him with two or three options. The first and probably his top choice would be to go to the Cavaliers. The trade would most likely be him for Kevin Love. Even though Kevin Love is quite a bit younger, I think this is a great trade considering the fact Kevin Love is very injury prone and not as good as Carmelo. Carmelo will play most games because of health. He will also play better because no matter what part of their game's you look at Carmelo is better. There have been rumors of talk between these two teams trying make this exact deal. At first it seemed like the trade didn't have a chance but the conversation is still happening more than a week later. I would personally like to see him join the New Orleans Pelicans now that they have recently acquired Demarcus Cousins. Having a front court of Cousins, Davis, and Anthony would be crazy. They would be an automatic contender if they got any kind of decent guards. I he doesn't go there he may go to a team like the Lakers. There have been reports of Paul George saying he wants to go there so it wouldn't surprise me if that was helping attract Carmelo to them.
Miles Bridges is one of the best upcoming talents playing at Michigan State. He is a freshmen who shows many characteristics of past legends. He is miles ahead when it comes to athletic development. Before you just say, "Oh, he's just an athlete" look at other past legends. Even look at Michael Jordan who is currently considered by a large majority of people to be the best player of all time. When he was at UNC he was an athlete depending on his athletic ability to score, play defense, etc. He hadn't yet developed a jump shot before the second half of his NBA career was happening, if you're honest. Although it's a long shot for him to become on that level I think he definitely has potential. Miles is also one of those guys who I could see being a one and done in college. Although it would hurt me to see him leave I think that might not be a bad idea, assuming his draft stock is as high as it should be for him to leave in the first place. If he went to the NBA right now he would probably end up on a middle of the pack team, as I couldn't see him going any earlier than number ten in the draft. I for one hope all of potential turns into something great as he continues to rise in his basketball career.
Draymon Green is easily turning out to be one of the best players from Michigan State to play in the NBA in quite some time. He is currently playing for the Golden State Warriors and is playing at an All-Star caliber. Even though it is Draymon's fifth year in the NBA, his importance to his team is immense. He was a key part to the Warriors NBA championship in the 2014-2015 season. Draymon is one of those guys who can elevate his team to new heights with the energy he brings to the court. He is that guy who is never going to stop playing unless he hears a whistle. He doesn't mope around. He is just out there to give it his best. Having said all of these good things about Draymon, he has done some things that anyone would say is questionable. He has developed this kind of bad guy persona that he seems to accept. Draymon gets a lot of hate because of this. The hate probably reached its highest point when he began to have a kicking problem in last year's playoffs. He kicked Steven Adams multiple times in their series and proceeded to kick multiple players during the finals. Being a fan of him through college makes me still have some love for him as a player. As a person, I feel he needs to chill out and use the energy he uses to keep his ego up on basketball.
Le'veon Bell has burst onto the NFL seen over the last several years and become one of the premier tail backs in the league. He was one of those guys who was special in college but no one knew for sure that his skills would translate to the pro game. For a tail back he ran an average 40 yard dash time. Bell's body type isn't made to be a "bully-back" type or an agile back. The thing that made him special in college and is continuing to show in the NFL is his instincts. He doesn't need to be faster than you or be able to run you over every time Watching Bell reminds me of another legendary back in Emmitt Smith. Just like Bell, Emmitt didn't have breakaway speed, amazing size, or crazy agility. He was just a patient runner who ran with football knowledge and creativity. It clearly worked out for Emmitt because he retired with over 18,000 yards rushing, beating the former rushing yards record by almost 2,000 yards. As long as Le'veon Bell doesn't get injured or have another detrimental circumstance come up in his career, I feel like he could be a back that goes down in history and is remembered for a long time.
