NBA(National Basketball Association) superstar Kevin Durant made his decision to sign with the Golden State Warriors The decision to go there was heavily criticized by fans and former NBA superstars and current ones. His decision was more about business rather than worrying what others had to say about it. Me, personally, I am neither against nor with the decision. I want to see how it pans out because he signed a two-year deal where he can opt out of the contract next year. If the Warriors fail to win the NBA Championship, he can look at signing with other teams again. The money plays a factor as well because Stephen Curry becomes a free agent next summer. They need to pay him since he deserves that money after being the two-time NBA MVP (Most Valuable Player) and winning an NBA Championship. The money that is going to be available will be hard for their organization to distribute with their superstars. If he stays for the two years of his contract, they will have to find a way to pay him.

The criticism of KD, I do not understand. I feel as though he did the same thing that Lebron James did in the summer of 2010 when he signed with the Miami Heat. The only differences between the two in their decisions is that KD went to a team with more superstars and he went to the team that beat him in the conference finals. Out of all comments that were made about this KD decision, I agree that this was a weak move on his part. KD could have stayed with the Oklahoma City Thunder and got better and beat the Warriors the next season. This situation reminds me of Michael Jordan— during his career with the Chicago Bulls, he could not beat the Detroit Pistons. He got better and finally beat them. Now he is considered the G.O.A.T (Greatest of All Time).

The goal of basketball is to become an NBA Champion. KD is considered one of the best players in the game but he won't be talked about as being the best to ever play the game because he is ringless. KD wants to be an NBA Champion so he can be one of the best to ever play the game by coming to a stacked team of the Warriors. At the end of the day, it is his choice and I wish him the best of luck.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
