Once a Ball hog, Always a Ball hog
So the fuss today is that scoring splurge that National Basketball Association players have been doing as the playoffs are nearing. Practically all players have beendishing out exemplaryperformances to make the last 8 who will make the playoffs.
But if there is one thing to be remembered, basketball is a team game of 5 players. Sure Kobe Bryant has been turning in 50 point performances to help the Los Angeles Lakers win. Question is, until when? Allowance for possible injuries is a given, something that most teams are suffering from.
But the fact remains, teams win championships and not one player. Kobe can score even 100 points if he wants to.

Ideally these issues would be in line with the ongoing events since they provide supporting insights on such issues.
Editorial from people will provide the opinions and ideas stemming from references on actual events and facts. They are not placed for the sake of argument of one person only. They cover the negative and positive aspects of such issues and provide further analysis so that people may easily understand the whole essence of the headlines and events.
Also, these editorials are technically chains from past issues and events since they refresh the memory of people who may have forgotten about connections to the current topic at hand. These are the things that have already occurred but have been forgotten. It is through editorials that they can be recalled.
