NBA Trade Deadline Hopes And Dreams
I hate to break it to everyone, but this season’s trade deadline is going to be a huge let down. The truth is there won’t be that many total trades. Blake Griffin will be the only star traded (definitely not Kawhi Leonard), and a majority of the trades that actually do happen will be moving… Read More NBA Trade Deadline Hopes And Dreams
New York Knicks 2017-2018 Season Preview

Why the Claim, “My Family Came here Legally” Makes No Sense
“My family did it the right way. They came here legally.” This is a claim so often preached with a touch of arrogance by those critical of the presence of undocumented immigrants in the United States.
