Why the Cavs will win the trilogy in 6.
So for the past two years, we have read this story in the NBA. Chapter 1 “ What if” what if Kevin Love is healthy, what Kyrie doesn't go down, what LeBron didn't run out gas, what Curry plays like the MVP? What if we will never know? The first chapter ended with heartbreak in what was another let down for the city of Cleveland. The unhuman like effort by King James himself couldn’t save a city from years of being losers. Endgame, the Warriors ended a 40-year championship drought and with the pieces in place to win it all the next year. Chapter 2 “Redemption” with all the talk of what if the year before, we now start fresh. Kyrie started the season on IR and the plot thickens from there. With the Warriors fresh off a title, have the best NBA regular season ever in the history of the NBA and breaking MJ’s Bulls regular season record with a 73-9 record. This was a record I personal thought wouldn't be touch. The clear favorite going into the playoffs. As the Cavs took care of business in the East, the Warriors hit a road block named OKC, and while it seems undoable down 3-1, the Warriors showed that championship pedigree to push the WCF to a game 7. After finishing off KD and the boys, the Warriors looked like their time was now. After going up 3-1 in the NBA finals vs. the Cavs there was a sudden momentum shift. Draymond Green get suspended for game 5. LeBron and Kyrie share 41 point games to bring the series to 3-2. After evening out the series at home to make it 3-3, the finals was headed for one last showdown in the Bay. The game went back and forth, but it was the last 6 or so minutes that really got you on the edge of your seats. From 4:40 to about 53 seconds the game was tied at 89, and in the sequence, we saw what we will forever know as “The Block” with 1:51 left on the clock Andre Iguodala get what seems to be a sure-handed layup, after adjusting because of J.R Smith he goes for the layup and the lead, and out of nowhere LeBron James chased him down getting a hair of your teeth block to keep the game deadlocked. The next big moment we will always remember is “The Shot” by Kyrie Irving. With 53.1 Seconds left Kyrie steps back and drills a dagger 3 point shot. Kevin Love came up with what we know as “The Stop’ on defense and the rest is history. The Cavs come back from 3-1to win the title and stop a curse that has haunted the city of Cleveland for 52 years. So it doesn't get much better than that right? Wrong, Chapter 3 “The Trilogy” has been even more entertaining. Kevin Durant jumped ship to join GS on Warrior Island, and the Cavs added a few vets to the roster. Cleveland not having the number 1 seed in the East, GS playing teams with injuries in the west, and between the two teams, they have only lost 1 game in these playoffs. Now the time has come for these teams to collide once more. I see the Cavs winning in 6 games and here’s why. We have seen what rest can do for LeBron and with 6 days of rest, game 1 should see LeBron end with 40 plus or a triple double, either way, Cavs take game 1. Problem GS will face is that in two finals Curry as been missing in action and I don’t see that changing. I feel that Kyrie has his number and he knows it which is not good. Klay has become a role player and thus ineffective. However, KD and Green are both too good and will put the team on theirs backs for game 2. With the series tied 1-1 home cooking will be just what the doctor order to get the Cavs back on track, in a nail bitter Kyrie hits a dagger again wow Kevin Love had a double-double with 23 points and 17 rebounds. Game 4 sees the Cavs come back from being down double digits to win by 4 “Thanks, LeBron” James goes for 50. Now it’s 3-1 and you can’t possibly think Karma would hunt the Cavs do you? Well in a statement game GS blows the doors off the Cavs. Headed back to Cleveland up 3-2 the Cavs know this is it, win now or lose in game 7, LeBron shows why he’s king and congrats Cleveland you are now a 2x champion.

Open letter for me, from me
Knowing that God doesn't make mistakes in my life, I was born into a city that taught me to be passionate & loyal no matter how bad things looked. I moved to a state where I improved mentally, but was able to see and feel 1st hand how the real world can be. To come back home on a prayer that my mother wouldn't leave me like my father did, and now I'm looking success in the face while planning to relocate. I've watched family members mature into great people, athletes, artists, and business owners. I seen 1st hand the cavs stop a 52 year drought, and I've made lasting connections that will always and forever mean something to me. I plan to spend the rest of this year building on my life's work to this point, and taking every opportunity presented. I love seeing people I grew up with, or made a connection with do great things, and I've spent my whole life making sure I helped my friends, family, and females for which I was in lust, and making sure they was good. It's really time for me to focus on me, and bring us up to a level that we only dreamed of as kids. Some will call me selfish, and some will say I changed, but my goals are very clear and if I don't start running forward towards my future, we'll always be stuck standing in the back with our past. "When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breath".

Evolution of Mobility Technology & Marketing
I feel that the brand that has the most success with mobility technology is ESPN. ESPN in my option has one of if not the best app for a mobile devise, and it's all in the palm of your hand. One of the biggest reasons would be because you can get information on more than one sport, because when basketball is over your not just sitting around waiting for next season, you baseball, football, and hockey just to name a few.
For me the thing that set's the ESPN app apart from everyone else is the watch ESPN app. You can watch all of your favorite shows on ESPN from the palm of your hand, and you don't even have to be around a tv. If your significant other wants to watch Empire, you don't have to even leave the room, if a big game is on and your kids are into the cartoons, you can still watch that game and that's reason enough for me.

Mobile Technology
I feel that the mobile cell phone has had the greatest impact on society today, because everyone has a cell phone no matter their age, old people have, and even young children have them. Cell phones have become a very important part of everyday life, for me it's the only way that I can get to my destination, I have a lot of respect for people who used maps to get from point A to point B, because without my phone I would be lost without a trace.
Cell phones have such an impact on the generation that people don't see whats going on around them because their face is down looking at their phones. Phones have played a big part on us seeing things that has been happening that we may not have paid attention to before, with better cameras, and video sharing, it's hard to get away with anything, because people are always looking to find a video to post online, so cell phones are the way of life, and has the greatest impact on society today.
