Byram Hills Advances to Section Finals With 44-34 Win Over Somers
Wednesday night at the County Center, Byram Hills Boys Basketball Team advanced to the Section One, Class A Final with a 44-34 victory over the Somers Tuskers. But the ten point margin does not reflect how the Somers’ defense frustrated the well established Bobcat offense.

The small things can make a big difference in sports. Small changes and minor adjustments can change the trajectory of history. NBA fans have experienced this first hand over the past few years and it has resulted in the Warriors winning three of four titles. Dynasties contrary to the angry fans that oppose them are good for sports.

I looked up the number of players who have worn the number 25 in the NBA. It seemed to be a fairly obscure number; the lone people I could think to sport the number were Ben Simmons and Derrick Rose. Turns out 213 players (including 16 active players) have worn the number 25, including legends Gail Goodrich, Mark Price and Robert Horry—there was also a Seattle Supersonics player named Michael Phelps who wore 25... I don't know what to make of that.

The NBA 2018-2019 season is approaching quickly, and while many teams have made big trades and moves already, one team that has kept relatively quiet in this offseason is the Orlando Magic. Of course, they drafted Mo Bamba, a center who could come into the league already a polished defensive anchor with tremendous upside on the offensive end, but they haven't really made any other big moves.

Let me be clear: I believe Ben Simmons was the best rookie (yes, he was a rookie; this is not up for debate) and deserved to win the Rookie of the Year award. However, Donovan Mitchell came out of nowhere and made it a much tighter race than anyone anticipated heading into the season. The Utah Jazz had been written off by many following Gordon Hayward's departure for the Boston Celtics, but as the year progressed, Mitchell began to show flashes of greatness; those flashes turned into stretches and those stretches turned into wins, playoff wins in fact. And while the return of eventual Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert helped the Jazz's case, it is indisputable that he carried the team offensively and they would have been lottery-bound without him.

In the doldrums of summer and the NBA offseason, I find myself on YouTube a lot, often watching basketball or NBA 2K videos. One of my favourite shows to watch is First Take, as I enjoy hearing Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman banter and give their opinions on a myriad of NBA topics. Typically, I agree with at least one of them on any given matter. But a few days ago, I found myself disagreeing with both analysts, and it is actually a topic I have been giving a great deal of thought to the past little while.

The Eastern Conference will have a new identity come the 2018-2019 season. One free agency signing is responsible for shifting the dynamic of the entire conference. The signing I am referring to is the deal between LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.

When I first heard about Lonzo Ball, it was December 2016. I was on YouTube, scrolling through my subscribed videos for something interesting. I came up on Mike Korzemba's video titled, "Meet Lonzo Ball: Stephen Curry With A 40 INCH VERTICAL!"

The Eastern Conference will be much different from last year's version. A single free agency signing more or less changed the entire dynamic of the Conference. The signing that I am referring to is the deal between LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.

July 2, 2018. I was sitting in my friend’s living room, watching Marlon! on Netflix (funny stuff, by the way). I was minding my own business, merely being entertained by the hilarity and/or stupidity of Marlon Wayans. Suddenly, my phone vibrated.

Allow me to begin by being up-front about something: I am not a LeBron James fan. Born and raised in the Indianapolis area, I grew up idolizing Reggie Miller, Rik Smits, Dale Davis, Jermaine O’Neal, et cetera. As the game of basketball evolved, the names and people I rooted for changed, but the team did not. There were many years when LeBron James almost single-handedly delivered the fatal blows to my Indiana Pacers’ championship ambitions. His years of dominance in the Eastern Conference are thankfully over, and I confess I did not feel a single moment of sadness at watching him depart for Los Angeles.

Once again, this article will be somewhat different. One of my recent articles was about my newly established YouTube channel. If you read that article, I provided a link to my channel within the article. If you didn't check out the article (or the channel), feel free to do so. In fact, this article revolves around a video that I did on my channel. The video was for the American Basketball Exposure League, so there may be some similarities between this article and that video.
