Dwight Howard to LA

Former Orlano Magic Power Forward, Dwight Howard was recently traded to the Los Angeles Lakers yesterday. Howard, who may be the most dominant big man in the NBA , was  a steal for the Lakers. This past year with the Magic, Howard was struggling to cooperate with the team and wanted to take his talents to a new place. Howard argued that the Magic didnt support his play with key players and disputes with former Magic coach, Stan Van Gundy. Howard had intially signed a 1-yr extesion with the Magic this past offseason, but they Magic didnt produce a championship season, and  being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs to the Indiana Pacers. Howard and his agent demanded a trade and the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers seemed to be title-contending teams for him. Finally, the Magic and Lakers agreed to trade Howard, with the invlolvement of other teams , such as the Denver Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers.
Howard and the Lakers seem to have a solid team , with other superstars such as Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash. In additon , the Lakers have key players such as the international superstar Pau Gasol of Spain and Metta World Peace. The Lakers can now match Eastern Conference Champion and World Champion Miami Heat . There will be a plethera of talent on the court when these two teams face each other this upcoming season, and notable matchups between Heat stars LeBron James , Dwyane Wade and Chrish Bosh. Now, as for Howard , he will share the responsiblity of carrying the Lakers to the title with Nash and Bryant .

Drizzy Drake's God's Plan

What's up everyone, I know I've been on hiatus but I've been listening to some great music lately, and some from one of my favorite artists, Drake. Drake dropped two new singles a couple weeks ago, with God's Plan and Diplomatic Immunity. These are hits already and God's Plan has already gone platinum. Drake also shot the music video and released it last week . The video is set in downtown Miami, FL and Drake gives back to the community and gives money to those in need, cars, and other charitable organizations in the process. It was just under a million, but money wasn't an issue for Drake.  Check out the hit song and the wonderfully shot video! Enjoy! https://youtu.be/XUqRem0W8L8
