Sunday night was a night full of dunks and lacking in defense, but entertainment nonetheless. The Western Conference defeated the Eastern Conference 192-182 in the 2017 NBA All-Star Game at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. 

Hometown hero Anthony Davis poured in an All-Star Game record 52 points to go with 10 rebounds, along with receiving the MVP honors for the night.
Russell Westbrook put on a show as well, following behind Davis with 41 points, seven assists and five boards. All eyes were on him and Kevin Durant, understandably so, watching their every move and interaction throughout the game.

We even saw a KD to Westbrook alley-oop, giving us flashbacks to when they played together in OKC, also known as the good ol' days.

The Western Conference bench had some fun with the two after the link-up:
 On the Eastern side, Giannis Antetokounmpo (30 points) and Lebron James (23 points) had almost all of the highlights.

Antetokounmpo, in his first NBA All-Star appearance, had himself a dunk contest of his own, including a posterizing over-the-back dunk on the league's former MVP, Stephen Curry.

It was a night to remember, that's for sure.

Instagram's Newest Feature That You Can't Find Anywhere Else

Snapchat started the trend of story-telling, creating 24-hour snaps that you share to the world. Instagram now has this feature as well. Well, Instagram has changed the game again. This time, you can post multiple photos within a single feed post. As in, you swipe right and see multiple pictures all under one post. Sure, Twitter and Facebook have similar features where you can post multiple pictures at once, but not quite like this. Instagram, unlike Facebook, Twitter, and so on, is a photo-based social media platform. Before, only advertisers could do such a thing on Instagram, leaving the rest of us to pick only the best picture (or two at the most) to represent our big event, birthday or holiday to keep from spamming (and annoying) our follower’s feeds. To use the feature, you need to tap the ‘Select Multiple’ option first on the bottom of the photo or video you want to upload. From there, you can select the content you want to include; they’ll be numbered in the order th

The Aftermath Of A Historic Super Bowl

Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images It's not about how Super Bowls start. It's about how they finish. Super Bowl LI started off with what could arguably be the most boring few hours of football in Super Bowl history. The Atlanta Falcons seemed to have the game in the bag. Quarterback Matt Ryan seemed to be doing everything right, whereas his opponent Tom Brady could not prevent getting sacked or missing wide-open receivers down the field. The lifeless Patriots were down 28-3 going into halftime. Lady Gaga was the only thing that seemed to give the game life. And then the Patriots happened. Granted, the first touchdown of the night coming from Tom Brady only came at the end of the third quarter and even then, the game didn't feel competitive in the slightest bit. But once that first score came, it was like taking candy from a baby for the Patriots. They went on a tear, defensively stopping the Falcons and then offensively, with Brady leading the way. Huge play after hug

Which Is Your Favorite?

Social media seems to be what everyone eats, sleeps, lives, and breathes nowadays. If you don't have at least a Facebook, it's almost as if you don't exist in the world. Twitter and Instagram have claimed their thrones, with Snapchat still up and coming; Not to mention Tumblr, LinkedIn, Youtube, Pinterest, and so on. With so many different social media platforms, it's almost impossible to choose which one is the "best." Personally, I love Twitter. I'd have to say it's my favorite social media outlet (with Instagram a close second). Why? Twitter gives me the ability to follow different accounts that cover a wide variety of topics that interest me. Hashtags allow me to follow topics without having some type of commitment to the topic, such as liking or following a page. It has an immediacy of breaking news and updates on developing stories almost faster than news outlets at times. Twitter is detailed. And who could forget the ease of follow
