Director Michael Gracey and the actor Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum made the movie called Sunshine Goodness (above) is the love interest “The Greatest Showman.” This movie was and has a questionable intelligence. written by Jenny Bicks and Bill Condon. The movie is about a man named P.T. Barnum who started a circus with “different people” and no one thought that they could be in a circus. I think this movie was a great movie because the plot and the whole story were magnificent. I also thought that the choreography and the singing were amazing. I think my favorite song was “This is Me,” sung by Lettie Lutz. The actress who played that character was Keala Settle. Some of the actors and actresses in “The Greatest Showman” are Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Zendaya, Keala Settle, and more. Lots of people liked the movie. 90% of the people who voted liked the movie. It is stunning, exciting, amazing, and a great movie to watch. So go to the movie theater now and watch the movie.

Four Decades of NBA Greatness By Gregory Green

Who are the best basketball players to ever step foot on an NBA court?

MLB Predictions for 2018 By Nathan Akanbi and Lucas Linder Charles Barkley Who will star for the Chicago Cubs this year? Which Major League Baseball team will be the one In the 1980’s, Charles Barkley was probably the to beat? With opening day just around the corner, here’s how we see the season unfolding: best player. Charles was born on Feb. 20, 1963 in Leeds, Ala. His height is 6'6". His full name is Charles Wade Barkley. Charles played for the GOOD PLAYERS Philadelphia 76ers and the Phoenix Suns. He is now an NBA commentator. He once said: “I Ian Happ: We predict that Ian Happ (Cubs) will be good because his batting average was .253 don’t care what people think. People are stupid,” in his first MLB year, which is hard to do in your first year against MLB pitchers. Now, with his and “The only difference between a good shot experience we expect him to come out. We predict he will bat over .300. and a bad shot is if it goes in or not.” Yu Darvish: Being a player with five years of experience and after being crushed by the Astros in the 2017 World Series, Yu Darvish joins the Cubs and we think will prove that he still has his stuff Wilt Chamberlain from playing with the Texas Rangers.

With a (now Golden State), the Philadelphia 76ers and 2017 batting average of .295, we expect to see this experienced player to keep improving. the Los Angeles Lakers. Wilt was born on August 21,1936 in Philadelphia, PA and died on Oct. Didi Gregorius: He batted .287 for the New York Yankees last year, and we expect this average to 12, 1999 in Los Angeles. His number was 13 for bump up to .300. We think we will see bigger plays. the Lakers. His height was 7'1". He set an NBA record by scoring 100 points in a single game against the New York Knickerbockers. A BOLD PREDICTION New to the MLB but not to baseball, Japanese baseball star Shohei Ohtani recently signed with the Los Angeles Angels, choosing them over six other teams. Pitching for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters (the name is no joke), the 23-year-old had 11.2 strikeouts per 9 innings, a l0-4 record, 20 “You can’t win if starts, and a 1.86 ERA. Shohei relies on his masterful fastball and an occasional slider, changeup of curve. Pitching is not his only strength: Unlike most MLB pitchers, Shohei can smash the ball, too. you don’t know Last year, he hit .332 and had 8 home runs. Shohei’s nickname is currently the “Babe Ruth of Japan”. how to lose.” GREAT TEAMS — Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Angels: Now with a great pitcher and hitter, Shohei Ohtani, and still having Albert Pujols and Michael Jordan Mike Trout, they might have their first playoff appearance in 9 years.

The best player of the 1990s was definitely Brewers: After a great 2017 season and staying the Cubs, they could stay the same, but we predict Michael Jordan. He was born on Feb. 17,1963 that they will really start to play extremely well. in Brooklyn, New York. His height is 6'6". He played only for the Chicago Bulls, but he took a Nationals: the Nationals are always good. With their star players, we predict they will have another break in the middle to play Minor League Base- playoff appearance. ball. He probably was the best ever to play the game. He is now the Chairman for the Charlotte Cubs: The Cubs have had plenty of playoff appearances and now with Schwarber’s improvement in Hornets. batting they will go far.

Yankees: After beating the Indians in the 2017 playoffs, we think the Yankees will have another playoff appearance and will have a great season.
