There are those timeless and hilarious movies that everyone of us watches.  One of those movies for me, is Dodgeball (2004) , starring Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn and special cameos from celebs such as Chuck Norris and David Hasslehoff. For those of you who don't remember this comedic classic, it is a flick about a group of misfits led by struggling owner, Peter LeFluer. Pete has a month to come up with 50,000 dollars or his gym will be shut down and be essentially bankrupt. But, his buds come up with a plan to enter in a dodge ball contest for 50K. However, it isn't an easy road, Pete and the Average Joes have to go through a series of foes and the arch nemesis, White Goodman and the Globogym Purple Cobras. White Goodman is thriving in the gym biz and Pete's neighbor. His cocky attitude and brash personality threatens Average Joes and he attempts to buy his place and expand his business. He and his squad enter as well and dominate in the competition. Pete needs help and h

Since summer officially starts next week, one classic song comes to mind, Summertime by Fresh Prince ( Will Smith) and DJ Jazzy Jeff . The early 90s song is a classic anthem and ode to the joys of summer. Fresh Prince ( Smith) rhymes smoothly as he describes the vibes during summer. Whether its chillin' at a cookout, checking out fly girls, playing basketball with the boys, riding around in your neighborhood and getting that fresh wash from the car wash. Jazzy Jeff lays down the funky bass beat and it booms and reverberates throughout the whole song. The song is still a classic today and over 25 years later, especially around summertime, it's still being played. Check out the iconic video and reminisce on the summer groove. Hopefully the song can give you some great summer vibes this year!! Peace and love, and long live summer!

The past two games of the NBA Finals have gotten a lot of attention due to the fact that, it is the third consecutive year in a row that the Warriors and Cavaliers are facing off for the NBA title. In addition, Kevin Durant's joining of the Warriors in the off season and now his dominance in the first two games of the Finals have gotten him and the Warriors praise. However,  even though the Cavs are down 0-2, the series heads back to Cleveland tomorrow night and Friday. The Cavs were down 0-2 last year in the Finals and came back from a 3-1 deficit in the series to claim Cleveland's fist title in franchise history. By the way, there's this guy named LeBron James, the best player in the game, and I wouldn't count him out. He's averaging a triple double in these finals with 28pts. 13 rebs, and 11assts.  This is a pretty amazing feat since this is his 7th straight finals and his age at 32.  The problem with the Cavs isn't LeBron, it the role players and Kyrie Irvi
