Players in the NBA bubble have been curing their boredom by any means necessary: Miami Heat and Champaign, Illinois' very own, Meyers Leonard shared a video of him shotgunning a beer. Jayson Tatum has been playing golf with Boston teammate Kemba Walker and Dallas star, Luka Doncic shared his football skills on Twitter. Basketball fans have been very entertained even though basketball was put on hold.

While many guys in the NBA continue to share short funny clips on Instagram or Twitter, two players are brushing up on their film making skills and is sharing their insightful experiences on YouTube.

Lakers' Center JaVale McGee's YouTube channel has become a must-watch. With over 400,000 subscribers, McGee is taking YouTube's vlogging scene by storm.

In his first episode, McGee took us through his morning routine and team responsibilities prior to the team going to practice and having their first scrimmage. The video also features appearances from basically every Lakers player and head coach Frank Vogel. McGee's latest video which posted only a day ago, already has over 900,000 views. It's pure comedy.

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway).
