Kyrie Irving is a great player. There’s no denying that. I think the situation he has gone through with LeBron is a little TMZesque. It’s unfortunate that two great players can’t get through tough times like these. I really respected these two because they stayed in the Eastern Conference, at a time when every great …

In Lo Down Episode 9, I really like the intro. The intro music really made me get into it. The speaker has such a great, articulate voice. The intro was great as it showed what a bumper was. Even though I didn’t create a bumper, I think it would be something cool to do sometime …

Sounds ignorant, but it’s true. I do not want to read a language that I have no reading comprehension level with, as I’ve never used it once in my life. I think that this daily create showed me a lot because of how beautiful of an assignment it was, even though I ended up not …
