  By Sonny Hammoud As everyone is focused on the NBA Finals, I wanted to point out that I am glad for there to be live crowds again. It honestly really adds a lot more to sports games as the fans can make or break a team. Whether it is Milwaukee cheering like crazy at a win, or Phoenix counting down Giannis' free throw attempts, the investment also helps even just normal viewers on television get interested. This will also be very apparent and very loud if either team can win the NBA Finals at home for these remaining 3 potential games. If the COVID pandemic never happened, I also believe the Super Bowl this year would have had an even louder crowd than it did with it being held in Tampa Bay with their team competing for the trophy. Even now as I worked as a cameraman for high school football games, LSU Shreveport basketball and soccer games, and Shreveport Mavericks games in the TBL, the main thing I noticed was how loud and motivated the crowds were for these games when they were...

  By Sonny Hammoud So far, it has been a very fun two games in the NBA Finals and it gave me something to think about. Who will win the Finals MVP award when it is all said and done? I believe it will come down to three candidates. Chris Paul: He would be the obvious candidate based on narrative due to his long-storied career, how he helped the Suns get to the next level and how this can be his first/only championship. He also has great stats to back it up as he is averaging 27.5 points, 8.5 assists, and a 58.3 3-point percentage. Devin Booker: He is the other likely candidate on the Phoenix Suns and it is definitely remarkable considering this is only the first playoff run of his career. Winning an Finals MVP at this stage would continue to do wonders for his career and establish him further as a top player in the league. He averages 29 points, 6 assists, and the most minutes in the series so far with 43 minutes. Giannis: Only one player has won the Finals MVP award on a losing te...

  By Sonny Hammoud This has been a very interesting year for the NBA playoffs as I liked how the teams remaining have not won a NBA Finals at all or haven't won it in many decades. Now that the Bucks have defeated the Atlanta Hawks tonight, the Finals will be the Phoenix Suns versus the Milwaukee Bucks. As for who I think will win this series, I believe that will be the Phoenix Suns. I was very impressed by their improvement during the regular season that I really did believe that the team had what it took to beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round. I think Chris Paul will be the biggest factor as this is perhaps his only chance at the championship due to his age and he has overcome injuries to get this far. I think Chris Paul would be the Finals MVP but I think Devin Booker will be the leading scorer for the series based on the run that he is on for these playoffs. Crowder will be the main key for three pointers and I think Ayton will do enough to try to slow Giannis down s...
