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.

On the other side of the Orlando Disney Resort, Sixers' guard Matisse Thybulle has also picked up a camera during this bubble quarantine. 'Welcome To The Bubble' is Thybulle's docu-series that is very similar to McGee's style and is finding success, amassing just under 300,000 subscribers in one week.

His latest video, 'Episode 4' posted on July, 21 showed the team going for an outing of golfing and going to practice. It currently has over 800,000 views.

Thanks to these two guys sharing their day-to-day lives in the bubble, fans now have a little insight to their world. It's a great way to keep the fans engaged during these trying times especially when the bubble is a highly restrictive environment for the news media. Definitely adding them to my daily watch-list!

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
