Zodiac Signs and the NBA Finals

The NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors may come down to stars. By that we mean not just Steph Curry and Jayson Tatum, but also the stars in the sky.

After analyzing the Zodiac Signs of Every NBA Player and how they performed during the 2021-22 regular season, Astrology Zodiac Signs has made a prediction.

They predict the Golden State Warriors will win the NBA Finals.  Here is why:

·        Pisces Were the No. 1 Sign This Season, Including Steph Curry and Jayson Tatum: Pisces were the best on both sides of the ball. No. 1 in assists, defensive rebounds and steals, No. 2 in scoring and No. 3 in blocks. The stars have aligned accordingly with The Finals coming down to which Pisces star – Steph Curry or Jayson Tatum -- shines brightest.


·        Team Breakdown: Golden State is 17.7% Pisces including three starters: Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins, While Boston is 14.3% Pisces including two starters: Tatum and Marcus Smart.


·        Deciding Personality Traits: Pisces are the most empathetic and compassionate sign but can be easily overcome by emotion. Curry is playing in his sixth Finals while Tatum will be in his first. Therefore, we believe Curry will handle his emotions better and be the deciding factor.


·        Draymond Green Wildcard: Of course, if Draymond Green, also a Pisces, lets his emotions get the best of him, and it leads to an ejection, all bets are off!

Kindle Pick of the Week: The Real Hank Aaron: An Intimate Look at the Life and Legacy of the Home Run King

A heartfelt portrait of Hank Aaron, featuring nearly 40 years of stories plus never-before-told insights from the home run king

When journalist Terence Moore was 12 years old, he treasured his poster of Henry Aaron. Years later, Aaron would sign it for him: "Best wishes to Terry." Later still, Moore would be named an honorary pall bearer at the home run king's funeral, staying up late into the night with Aaron's widow, Billye, to get the obituary just right for the program.

Friends and family knew Aaron as quick-witted, hilarious, and fiercely opinionated beyond what was shown in public. With the encouragement of Aaron's family, Moore now shares this intimate perspective on the baseball legend, the culmination of decades of friendship and correspondence. The Real Hank Aaron captures the icon's contagious laugh and pointed views, from the depth of his admiration for Jackie Robinson to his true thoughts on Barry Bonds and the steroid era.

Also featuring Aaron's views on race, politics, media, and sports fandom, this is a charming and illuminating glimpse at the man outside the spotlight.

Rain could change odds for Saturday's Kentucky Derby

Wet, sloppy weather could be a wildcard during the Kentucky Derby as the hunt for the triple crown commences at Churchill Downs.

Will the event known as "the fastest two minutes in sports" be slowed down just a bit by weather this weekend?



One of the biggest events in the sport of horse racing will get underway this weekend as riders take to the track at the iconic Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, for the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby. As jockeys, horses and spectators prepare for the hotly anticipated event, AccuWeather forecasters say Mother Nature may shake up the odds this weekend.

"There’s a traffic jam setting up in the atmosphere later this week, and that will slow the forward progress of a storm system moving through the Ohio Valley around the time of the Kentucky Derby festivities," AccuWeather Meteorologist Reneé Duff explained.

While the Derby itself lasts just two minutes, the anticipation for the event remains high throughout the year and gives way to an entire weekend of festivities. The threat of sloppy weather raises serious concerns for competitors, fans and ground crews alike.

"It’s looking nearly certain that a thorough soaking is in store for the region Thursday night into Friday ahead of the Derby’s sister race, the Kentucky Oaks," Duff cautioned.
