This post was written by my classmate Randy Manalac. Go follow him on Twitter @randymanalac!  Game 5 was considered a critical game in the series because whoever would win the game, that team would win the momentum for the rest of the series as well. We saw why Stephen Curry is the reigning regular season MVP, especially in his 4 th quarter performance. Despite a triple double from the leader of the Cavaliers, LeBron James, here are a few points to take note of, in terms of what went wrong for the Cavs in Game 5: 1       2 nd game in the Finals where LeBron’s teammates were nowhere to be found. This is the second game in the Finals where LeBron James has performed spectacularly, but he wasn’t able to close out a win, due to the lack of a supporting cast. Although Iman Shumpert nearly made a series-changing basket in the final seconds of regulation in Game 1, the Cavs had shooting woes in that overtime period. How long did it take them to get a bucket to ...

Dear Filipinos, Our country has been dominating the competition in the SEA Games and the SEABA for quite some time now. Us Filipinos and our Southeast Asian neighbors pretty much know that whenever we have these competitions, it's practically a given that the Philippines will end up with nothing less than a gold medal. A silver medal is considered a disappointment. Heck, a win not more than 15 points can be considered a disappointment. Pinoys expect nothing but excellence and dominance from our national team every time we face our Southeast Asian neighbors. It's pretty much the standard already, and Pinoys expect that the standard doesn't change. DOMINANCE. DOMINANCE IS A MUST. But, as the popular saying goes, the only constant thing in life is change.

Once again, this post will be pretty straightforward. Carry on. Photo Credit: Getty Images 1. He keeps on giving, but he receives no recognition for it.  I don't even mean that he doesn't receive awards for all the work that he does. In fact, he already does have a bunch of awards for all the work that he has done (4 MVPs, 2004 ROY, 2 Finals MVPs and counting). But the problem is, he can never seem to receive the recognition that he deserves FROM THE PUBLIC. So it's like, the teachers like him, but the problem is, his classmates don't because he's a kiss ass to many. Gets a triple double? Writers will praise him, but casual fans will burn him to the ground. Wins MVP? Still gets criticized as if he killed somebody. 2. He started out young. LeBron entered the NBA when he was only 18 years old. That means he already had a job when he was 18 years old. He had a contract with Nike before he could legally drink. In short, he received a grand opportunity at...
