Kevin Durant: A true Warrior

Image source: hoopshype.com

It seems like only yesterday when Kevin Durant left OKC to join the Dubs, thus making him one of the most hated figures in the NBA. I’m Scott Jay Abraham and I still remember it. The season before that, the Dubs though making history, winning 73 games in the regular season, would suffer the most heartbreaking of losses at the hands of Kyrie Irving in the dying seconds of the last game of the NBA Finals.

Durant’s arrival though all but assured a championship for the Dubs. However, it only wasn’t a championship. Today, the Dubs are on a quest for a three-peat. While they aren’t as invincible as they seemed when KD first arrived, they’re still top dog in the league.

KD is a huge part of the Dubs’ success. With Steph Curry, the greatest shooter of all-time, at the helm, and Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala defending oppositions’ stars, KD spearheads the offense alongside Klay Thompson. It’s one of the most formidable line-ups since the second Bulls team of the ‘90s.

At a shade below seven feet, with the moves of a shooting guard, KD is almost impossible to defend. Just ask the Cavs, who KD buried twice in the Finals with two daggers on separate occasions.
While people may question his intentions, KD has delivered two banners to the city that I love. And for me, that makes him a true Warrior.

This is Scott Jay Abraham, signing out.

Steph Curry The greatest shooter in NBA history

Here’s the thing – when I, Scott Jay Abraham say Steph Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history, I don’t do so lightly. It’s easy to write what I say off due to me being a huge fan of the Dubs. But hear me out.


Over the years, the NBA has seen great shooter after great shooter emerge, from the indomitable Larry Bird to the mercurial Reggie Miller to the purely dependable Ray Allen. However, all these guys as great as they were, never really set single-season records that most of us know will take decades to be broken.

Some shooters, such as the aforementioned Ray Allen and Steph Curry’s father, Dell, may even be more efficient shooters than the Dubs’ superstar point guard, however, the discussion of the NBA’s greatest shooter isn’t all about efficiency and shooting percentages.

Steph has developed two aspects of his jump shot which makes me believe him to be the top sniper of all-time. First, he has almost unlimited range. As soon as Steph brings the ball past half-court, he’s within range, which is unheard of. Second, and just as important is that Steph has developed such a quick release that it takes less than a second to fire off a shot.

With these two qualities, combined with his accuracy, Steph has shattered so many records in the past seven years, and continues to do so.

I’m Scott Jay Abraham, and I believe Steph Curry to be the greatest shooter in NBA history. Change my mind.

Check if your accommodation is pet-friendly. Before even considering bringing your furry friend, make sure that the hotels or inns you are staying at accept pets. You can always check online pet-friendly hotel listings and databases.


Keep a list of local veterinary clinics. Bringing your pet traveling is a big responsibility, and this includes having an emergency plan in case your pet gets sick. A quick research on local vets in your destination is a must before you travel, so you can have peace of mind.

Train your pet with simple commands. Bringing your pet to a place that’s completely foreign to them could create some difficulties. This will save you a lot of trouble while you’re on the road, especially when you’re driving or carpooling with people. Personnel at the hotel you’re staying at will also appreciate an obedient pet, adds Scott Jay Abraham.

Which NBA teams should you keep an eye on this season?

It’s incredibly important for basketball teams to keep improving. Be it on or off season, teams must always be grinding, getting better at handling, offense, defense, and overall play. Through scrimmages and other practice games, teamwork is made stronger and bolder. The 2018-2019 season promises a lot of action for teams and fans alike.

The Indian Pacers made one of the greatest trades last year, moving Paul George for a young star, Victor Oladipo. Indy is excited for the current season with such as Oladipo and Myles Turner joining the team. A top-4 seed is almost guaranteed this year for the Pacers, as the team had a great run the previous year. The Chicago Bulls is not a stranger to both the limelight and the sidelines. The Bulls used to be Lebron’s biggest competition back in the East before regressing. With building blocks like LaVine, Dunn, Markkanen, and Wendell Carter, the Bulls are set to improve significantly this season.

The Denver Nuggets, after grabbing the steal of the draft in Michael Porter, picking up Isaiah Thomas, and re-signing their star Center for an extra five years, might finally be able to reach it. The Nuggets can take a spot in the playoffs, with a stable lineup and with other teams regressing this season.

The Los Angeles Lakers have a couple of veterans mixed with young guns. The legendary franchise has a lot to offer, but fans are curious as to how the team will improve throughout the season in terms of playing well together.

Winning hotel interior design trends

The main purpose of hotels is to create an experience that is both comfortable and adventurous for guests. This is why interior design plays a large part in the success of many hotels in the world.

On that note, here are a number of interior design trends that have elevated the hotel experience this year.

The other home

Hotels don’t just strive to be your second home, interior designers have come up with designs that make hotels a guest’s other home. What used to be white plaster walls and ordinary furniture has now been replaced with couches, small kitchens, plants, and other carefully-planned features that recreate the warmth and comfort of one’s home.

Natural

As mentioned earlier, plants have become a regular fixture in hotels. This not only pushes forth the more natural appeal of living spaces but also emphasizes the importance of the environment and overall sustainability.

Creative lights

Having more creative interiors makes for a more unforgettable experience. One of the main attractions of many hotels nowadays is installing creative lighting that both illuminates the room and allows guests to see themselves “in a better light” so to speak.

Smart tech

Let’s be honest -- people love their gadgets. Smart televisions, speakers, tablets, and other devices in hotel rooms adds to the convenience of the experience. A few swipes and clicks are very much welcome, especially for guests who have had a full day of travel and are looking to simply rest.

I’m Scott Jay Abraham, and I’m an industrial interior designer expert in home and office design. I am also a travel aficionado, going to odd roadside attractions that have not yet been kissed by mass tourism. I usually explore places with my Dachshund buddy, Shadow.

Will DeMarcus Cousins stay with the Warriors after this NBA season?

The mere fact that DeMarcus Cousins himself chose to join the Warriors is incredible for the Golden State franchise. After all, having Cousins in the lineup makes their entire starters All-Stars. It will take some time before Boogie starts playing as he is still recovering from a ruptured Achilles injury, but the Warriors are not in a hurry. They are still the team to beat in the league, with or without Cousins.

Which brings to the question of Boogie staying put after this 2018-19 season. Most analysts believe that the power forward will surely depart, believing that he only joined the Warriors to chase a title this year. It also doesn’t make sense for him to continue taking a pay cut, as is the case with this one-year deal of $5.3 million.

Cousins should be a great fit for the Warriors, providing needed inside presence and height for a team that generally plays small-ball. Unlike most other big forwards, he is agile, can run the floor, and shoot threes. He would help space the floor more for the team’s shooters while providing needed rebounds and another passing option for Durant and Curry during drives.

But while it’s not easy to speculate about his future decision, especially because he has yet to play a single game in Warriors uniform, the likelihood is high that he will leave during free agency. The main reason for this is that management will not have the money to keep him anyway, especially if he demands a higher pay should the Warriors win the title anew.
