Today's UPDATES

What a great first day it was to be twenty-one yesterday, and now the next phase of my life begins now. One way for me to spend the weekend was by watching NBA All-Star events. starting on Friday, Team East winning the NBA Celebrity Game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge was won by Team World. Then on State Farm NBA All-Star Saturday Night, the games were just getting started as the New York Knicks own Kristaps Porziņģis won the Taco Bell Skills Challenge, Houston Rockets' Eric Gordon defeated Klay Thompson and then Kyrie Irving to win the JBL Three-Point Contest, and finally it all came down to the Verizon Slam Dunk Contest, where the Pacers' Glenn Robinson III outshined the Suns' Derrick Jones, Jr. (or should I say the second) with the most incredible dunking in recent history. Last night, all the stars came to play in the 66th NBA All-Star Game and only one player had the time his life last night, the New Orleans Pelicans' Anthony Davis who scored a record breaking 52 points the most in the history of the All-Star Game. He would later gon to MVP of the game as the NBA would assume the rest of the regular season which means that NBA Playoff time is coming and MaxSports will be right there every step of the way.

One of the best things about celebrating your birthday in February is that it happens right around Presidents Day which is our featured #TwitterTrend. We have had 45th President in American History and none of them are women, from George Washington all the way down to our current President Donald Trump, still don't how that's possible. I've done some great things over Presidents Day, back when I was in school I had mid-winter recess, but right now is not about me, it's about honoring and remembering the many people who were in power of the oval office. One major thing to keep in find is that Trump who has peen in power for only a month as started this reelection campaign for 2020, and what I find interesting about this I how early he decided to run for a second term. However, things have not gone so great so far for Trump and the Republican Party have take notice, so have the Democratic Party who have four years to retake some power in congress and then have a strong candidate to run against Trump in 2020. The Presidents before Trump have been remembered for having at least on important moment in their life and it would take forever to explain each moments at a time. So, let's what tweeters have to say about the one holiday where all of America's Commanders-in-Chief matter.
