All Star Weekend 2016

This year the All Star was in Toronto. This year was one of the most important all star as was the last All Star to Kobe Bryant because he retires this year. Besides, this year the Dunk Contest came back, I mean the other years the Slam Dunk Contest was very boring but this year we had a very amazing dunks especially from the finalists. Now I'm gonna tell us as it was the all star.

Three Point Contest: This year in this contest we had the last year winner Stephen Curry and his team partner Klay Thompson, for mi the best 3 point shooters in NBA. The Final was Curry against Thompson. In the final Curry scores 23 but Klay Thompson scores 27 and win the Contest.

Slam Dunk Contest: This year in the Slam Dunk Contest we had the winner of last year Zach Levine, Aaron Gordon, Bill Murray and Drumond. Tje final was between Aaron Gordon and Zach.
And we have an amazing dunks from the finalists, dunks I never seen it before. I think that this year we could see best dunks of the history of the competition. They had to make 2 extra round because the both score the high score in every dunk. Finally the winner was Zach Levine with an espectacular dunk, he jumped from free throw line and pass the ball between the legs.

All Star game: This year the game had a clear protagonist, Kobe Bryant because it was the last All Star Game. There was a great farewell to the NBA champion Kobe with people who talk about him like the legendary NBA star Magic Johnson or Steve Nash. And Kobe could play for the last time with his great friend, partner Pau Gasol.

Connected

The last two days, we started the new project (Internet) and we saw a couple of videos about the topic and the videos showed me information that I never could imagine for instance the increase of people using Internet. But Internet is good or bad. In my opinion Internet helps us.

A good example is the research of information, since Internet started searching information is easier and faster. Also Internet is a easy way to communication as it allows communicate with people who are far away.

There are a lot more examples why Internet is good. For this, I think that Internet should be accessible for everyone.

My Holidays in Valencia

In summer I went to Valencia with my parents, my brother, Didac and Oriol. I stayed in Valncia for 5 days and these days I visited many animals parks. One of these parks is the Biopark. It is an amazing and very big because all of the animals have a large habit. In the park there are many types of animals and I saw a show.

The hotel was very far than Valencia because we just went to the city once. The hotel has four stars and the rooms are big and comfortable. One bad thing was the trip, because it was very long and boring. I left my house at 10:00 a.m and arrived in Valencia at 6:00 p.m.

 

This is the hotel

The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air

The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air was a TV series created in 1990 by Shelley Jensen and starred by Will Smith, James Avery and Alfonso Riberio. This TV series tells the story about Will who his mother have enough money to care about her son and decide to send Will with the uncle who is a lawyer and have a lot of money. The uncle and his family are very posh and Will is a street boy.

When I was ten years I use to saw the series because it's really hilarious and one of my favorites actors is Will Smith. I recommend this series despite being old because it will make you laugh.

This is a scene that went around the world.

Golden State Warriors extend unbeaten run to set NBA record

Golden State Warriors, The winner of the NBA last year against Cleveland Cavaliers, have set a record for the longest unbeaten start to an NBA season with a convincing victory over Los Angeles Lakers of Kobe Bryant.

The warriors victory on Tuesday extended their perfect start to sixteen consecutive wins. It means the Golden State Warriors have broken the record they previously shared with the 1993-94 Houston Rockets and 1948-49 Washington Capitals.

This sixteen consecutive victories are thanks by Stephen Curry, the Most Valuable Player of the NBA who scored twenty-four points.

They still have to break one more record. The Warriors will seek to surpass the record of 33 consecutive victories during a regular NBA season, set by Los Angeles Lakers the year 1972.
