I am a huge basketball fan and Durant being named the MVP was well deserved. In his speech he thanked all the people who helped him along the way. He is smart enough to know that others around him allow his talents to shine. This is an amazing thank you to his first teacher and his biggest fan; his mom. The entire speech is amazing, but very long. The most impressive thing about it is that he spoke from the heart, he had no prepared notes. Happy Mother's Day and enjoy this very heartfelt thanks to one mom, who like most other moms, made many sacrifices along the way to help their child be the best they can be.
I have taken "heat" for sticking up for LeBron's decision to go to Miami. It paid off last night. He would still be waiting for a championship (one that would never have come) had he stayed in Cleveland. Cleveland was not willing to do what it takes to build a championship team. They were nothing without Lebron, their record for the past two years proves that. Basketball is a team sport. You can't win on your own. Don't believe me, ask Jordan. He himself will say he never would have accomplished what he did without the cast around him.
Congrats to LeBron. MVP, Finals MVP, and Champion.
Yes, I am huge basketball fan, and no I am not a Heat fan. I am a long-suffering Knicks fan.
A belief in the written constitution. The belief that we are responsible for ourselves and for our families. The belief that we are allowed to fail. The belief in a strong national defense are a few of the things that make me just a conservative girl.
