Fox Sports

Our competitive nature is what drives us to accomplish amazing things in life. Competition between one another motivates us to push ourselves to be the very best we can be. Athletes in particular, seem to proudly display this attitude. Young athletes are inspired and motivated to surpass the accomplishments of their superiors, idols, and peers. This competitive nature leads to people reaching new heights and becoming the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time). Michael Jordan is considered by most basketball analysts as the number one player of all time. However, the thirty- one year old superstar, LeBron James, also known as the "King," is and should be considered the greatest player of all time.

FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

LeBron James came into the league with everyone watching him. He was the number one draft pick as a high school senior and was playing with men, while he was barely crossing the threshold into adulthood. He played an outstanding season and won Rookie of the Year. Very quickly he was the talk of the town and he outshined everyone in the NBA. In a short amount of time he led the Cleveland Cavaliers to an NBA Final, and although he led the team with an MVP performance, they came short of a title. At this point in his career he had already outdone the great Michael Jordan. During LeBron’s career he was able to lead the worst teams to greatness, while Michael Jordan won all six of his championships with an outstanding cast of players, including a top 50 all-time player, Scottie Pippen.

A PERFORMANCE LIKE NO OTHER

When you get the title of being the greatest player of all time, you also prove your worthiness against the toughest teams and players. The most recent and possibly memorable moment in sports history was when LeBron James led his Cleveland followers to their first major win title in over fifty years. Not only that, but he was also able to beat the “greatest” team in history, a Golden State Warriors squad that surpassed the most wins in a single season and outdid Michael Jordan and his 97’ Bulls team with 72 wins. Michael Jordan never had to test his strength in that type of scenario, and LeBron James was able to finally rest easy knowing he is seriously in the discussion to be considered G.O.A.T.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
