The women’s competition will be held May 20-25. The men’s tournament will be held May 27 through June 1. At the men’s Pac-12 championships earlier this month, Stanford took the trophy. Oregon came in sixth and was dropped from the Top-25 as a result. At the women’s Pac-12 championships, USC took the trophy and Oregon came in eighth. One women’s player to watch is junior Cathleen Santoso, who finished fifth at the Silverado Showdown in Napa this past April. One men’s player to watch is sophomore Aaron Wise, who will be leaving the Ducks in mid-June and will be competing in his last NCAA championship this year.

When you’re talking dirty to someone, it’ll be an intimate, probably exclusive conversation. This is why dirty talk is as taboo as we make it out to be. The thoughts that you might think but cast aside and reserve for yourself throughout the day are the main ingredient in dirty talk. For example, while talking to your partner during lunch, you probably wouldn’t say that their lips biting into a sandwich turn you on and you need them right then and there, but in an intimate setting, you can say something similar and turn your partner on by letting them know how you feel. With that in mind, the key to dirty talk seems to be blunt honesty. Very blunt honesty. If you have said everything you think about your partner — things like how badly you love and need their body, how soft they are, how strong they are, etc. — then mix it up. For example, tell them what they do to you that you really, really like. Say it as you’re enjoying it or tell them you want it! The next step is to say it in your own style. You may imagine that “confidence is key,” but if you typically don’t exude charisma, it may throw your partner off if you immediately transition into a dominant-style character. If you’re
usually a quirky goofball, then be the goof you are and also be honest about why your partner drives you wild. So how do you tell them? In their ear nice and low? Through a moan? Kind of squeaky-like? While you’re growling? The mood between you and your partner will probably dictate how you say it, but your tone is most likely not going to affect how your seductive message comes across. So tell them quietly if you are being quiet and loudly if you are loud. But when do you dirty talk and how much should you say? Whenever and however much you want. The trick to being honest is saying what’s on your mind when you think it. If something piques your interest or you have a flash of inspiration about how great your partner is, go ahead and share it. So remember, be honest and be yourself. Don’t overthink the talking, but let it out when you have something to say because your partner probably has some words for you too. You’ll be talking so dirty you’ll have to watch out for earthworms, -Braedon Have a question about sex and relationships? Go to emrld.co/askbraedon to anonymously ask a question.

‘A MOON SHAPED POOL’ IS RADIOHEAD AT THEIR MOST INTIMATE ➥ EMERSON
B
MALONE, @ALLMALONE
ritish art-rock outfit Radiohead teased its ninth studio album A Moon Shaped Pool with a complete evisceration of the band’s social media presence, which was followed up with a cryptic video of a stop-motion puppet bird chirping in a tree. Moon, a follow-up to 2011’s The King of Limbs, was released on May 8; its name and cover art remained unknown until its release. With A Moon Shaped Pool, Radiohead has assembled an album as essential to the band’s canon as the Y2K-era releases of Kid A and Amnesiac. Here, Thom Yorke brings his real life into focus and imbues the record with a particular intimacy and vulnerability, more so than prior records. Moon’s recording period was punctuated with some dour circumstances that are certainly palpable in the music, as the father of Radiohead’s career-long producer, Nigel Godrich, died and Yorke separated with his partner of 23 years. Each cut from Moon is uniquely captivating. Opener “Burn the Witch� has the knotty, taut percussion of violin bow sticks clacking against the instrument’s strings (a technique called “col legno�). This tumbling clamor hurtles forward with locomotive momentum; it accumulates into a swollen, panicked climax. The song is a close relative to the guitarist Jonny Greenwood’s
fever-dream film score for 2007’s There Will Be Blood. Terminal unrest is a real constant here, and it’s never truly relieved through the buoyant six-minute ambient techno of “Ful Stop,� the gurgling orchestra in “Glass Eyes,� nor the submerged instrumental work in “Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief.� Even the most euphoric track, “Daydreaming,� is troubling. The video (directed by Paul Thomas Anderson) follows Yorke walking down hallways, through doorways, turning around, interminably lost. “Daydreaming� seamlessly pivots between handsome piano melodies, floating contentedly in the cosmos, and an orchestra, situated languidly in the background. There reaches a moment when Yorke’s reversed voice plays second chair to a backwards-playing violin. The song closes with the 47-year-old mumbling in reverse “half of my life,� ostensibly referring to his recent divorce. On “Decks Dark,� the album’s third track, Yorke begins: “And in your life, there comes a darkness / There’s a spacecraft blocking out the sky and there’s nowhere to hide.� It recalls the Hail To The Thief opener when he yelps in hysterics: “Go and tell the king that the sky is falling in!� But here, Yorke’s recognition of imminent disaster from the
heavens has evidently matured to resigned acceptance. The London Contemporary Orchestra choir fills in the empty space behind Yorke, and this leads into an immaculate, beautifully layered coda of subdued guitar and sparse but authoritative piano notes. The group has a penchant for tinkering and recalibrating its songs for years before they see the (dim) light of day. “Identikit� – with drummer Phil Selway’s motorized “Idioteque�-like rhythm and Yorke’s sullen refrains (“Broken hearts make it rain�) – was first played live back in 2012. And the album’s glacial closer “True Love Waits� was written in 1995 and has lived on via a bootleg recording on YouTube from 2001 with Yorke howling on stage with an acoustic guitar. Its ultimate manifestation here is an inebriating piano-based ballad with a listless Yorke crying: “I’m not living; I’m just killing time.� It almost feels reductive to project biographical context into a record that’s independently gorgeous, but with the real-life intel here about Yorke’s separation, “Love� is a devastating send-off. Moon is only a week old, but it’s at once beautiful, inventive and modern. It feels like an inexplicable chapter of the Radiohead catalogue that has always been there, but we’ve all just collectively discovered it. This is, without a doubt, top-tier Radiohead.

Sven Bonnichsen loves animation. He grew up on stop-motion, the 1933 version of King Kong and the original Star Wars trilogy. As a kid, he would read books on special effects and animation, such as Kit Laybourne’s The Animation Book. What he found most interesting was how anyone could create stop-motion shorts with the tools they had on hand. Nowadays, Bonnichsen is the founder, director and “wizard behind the curtains� of the Northwest Animation Festival. The Northwest Animation Festival has been the largest animation festival in the U. S. for the past three years. This year, over 1000 films were submitted from all over the world. Held in Portland and Eugene every year for the past six years, the festival is coming to the Bijou Art Cinema from May 20-22. It kicks off Friday night at 7 p.m. with the International Spectacular, a showcase of dozens of films from all over the world spread out over three hours. The fest continues on Saturday at 1 p.m. with the Family Friendly showcase, the Queer Animation Revolution showcase at 3 p.m. and another three-hour International Spectacular at 7 p.m. The Strange & Sexy showcase, Exploding Mind showcase and third International Spectacular are on Sunday, starting at 1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., respectively. “The guiding aesthetic,� Bonnichsen said, “is whatever you watch in the last film, the next film should be something completely different.� Bonnichsen said the main goal of the festival is to show animation as a fine art form and bring the creators’ work to the community. “I also have that public component where I want to build literacy. That really informs how we program the show,� said Sven. The heart of the festival is the International Spectacular because it creates exposure to a variety of animation styles.
Three hours of film (with 10 minute intermissions every hour) may seem like a lot, and Bonnichsen admits it may not be the right thing for some people, but that’s exactly the point. Being able to compare dozens of different styles from dozens of different films helps to build that literacy. For those interested in submitting their work to the festival, Bonnichsen said it’s a very unique process from other festivals. There is a four-month long open call period. Creators are able to submit their work for free for the first two months. Bonnichsen also sends out invitations to creators from 15-20 festivals throughout the U.S. whose work was highly-regarded and recognized by their peers. The submissions are then viewed and reviewed by Bonnichsen and the rest of the jury, which is made up of alumni of the festival. Instead of someone just saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the film getting into the festival, the jury rates the film on a score from one to nine and averages the score. This helps to build a community of peers. “The relationship building has been amazing. There’s an animator in Iran who was on the jury this year and the difference in cultures between Iran and the U.S. is pretty amazing. Being able to build this relationship, she talked about how valuable it has been to her to know that there are people in the U.S.A. who care and who have some sense of trying to build peace and bridge-building in the world,� Bonnichsen said. Bonnichsen hopes to create an enriching and immersive experience for both the festival visitors and the creators. He wants to create something that’s jaw-dropping for an audience. For those interested, three-day weekend passes are available for $45 atnwanimationfest.com.

EUGENE COUNTRY CLUB
STEPPING BACK, LOOKING FORWARD
O ➡ GUS
MORRIS, @JUSTGUSMORRIS
ver 100 years ago, some prominent figures in the developing city of Eugene set out with a plan. These businessmen and university professors recognized a blooming interest in golf in the U.S., especially along the West Coast. In 1899, these entrepreneurs purchased the land that would become the South Willamette Golf Club, later to be the Eugene Country Club. At the time, it was one of two official golf courses in Oregon, the other being the Waverley Country Club in Portland. The South Willamette Club was incorporated and started down a century-long path the founders could never have predicted. The latest chapter in ECC history is now around the corner. The club is getting ready to host the NCAA Golf Championships for the first time in 40 years. For two weeks in May and into June, the top men’s and women’s amateurs in the U.S. will duke it out for the title of the country’s best team and individual. The women’s tournament will run from May 20-25, and the men’s will start on May 27 and run until June 1 at 255 Country Club Rd. This year, the University of Oregon’s men’s and women’s golf teams are both competing in this historic tournament.
‘On my holes, par is tough, but a bogey is easy’
Before history could be told, before Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer strode the ECC fairways, the club had to grow. In the ECC’s early days, the game was simpler. Golfers teed off on bare dirt. Instead of tees, they hit their balls off small mounds of wet sand. Members took maintenance into their own hands. By 1923, membership had reached 200 people. Club members recognized the need for an 18-hole course. They hired Pebble Beach designer Chandler Egan for the expansion. Despite having to modify his original design due to monetary constraints, the back nine was completed in 13 months and the front nine followed less than a year later. In 1926, it reopened as Eugene Country Club. Word spread of its towering Douglas firs and natural setting, and the club’s notoriety grew. It began to host major competitions and tournaments, including the LPGA tour and Pacific
Coast Amateur Championship. In 1959, it hosted its first NCAA Championship. For 40 years, Egan’s design remained unchanged. But in the late ‘60s, the Club decided to update the course. This time, it commissioned legendary golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. He believed a difficult course made golf better. “On my holes, par is tough, but a bogey is easy,” Jones liked to say, according to the book Breaking 100, a detailed history of ECC’s first 100 years. Jones’ designs, which catered to proficient and conservative players, have changed little over the past 50 years. ‘I know [the course] will be good to go’ ECC head groundskeeper Chris Gaughan remembers almost everything since he started working the course 40 years ago. Golf legends Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson all tried their hands at the course, as did Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota and former Nike CEO Phil Knight. “Tiger Woods never broke par here,” he said. “[He] four-putted the seventh green.” Gaughan, who has spent the last 23 years as superintendent of ECC, was a caddy the last time the club hosted the NCAAs in 1978. He remembers who played, on which holes golfers struggled and the general buzz of the clubhouse. But mainly, he remembers the rain. “It just kind of got wet that week,” Gaughan said. “But it had a lot of excitement going into it.” He said weather is the only thing he’s concerned about as the Club prepares to host its first NCAA Championship since that “wet and ugly” week. “The weather is my main pressure,” Gaughan said. “I know [the course] will be good to go … but if it gets wet, all that time and effort you put in goes down the drain.” Rich Spurlin, the nine-year general manager of ECC, explained that with an event like this there’s more to worry about than the golf. “We’ve covered [what we’re doing for Thursday lunch] about 15 times,” Spurlin said with a chuckle. “It’s taking care of all those little things so that when [the NCAA officials] get here, they’re not bothered by any of that.”
‘This is home for me’
UO senior Caroline Inglis, a Eugene native, said this “couldn’t be a better ending” to her col-
legiate career. “I am just so excited that my team has this opportunity,” Inglis said. “Being a senior just makes it that much sweeter that I can end my college career with all of my friends and family surrounding me.” Oregon women’s golf head coach Ria Scott feels that “being comfortable with the massive trees that line the holes” gives her team a mental edge. “We’ve played all around the country and the look of Eugene Country Club is not like anything you get anywhere else,” Scott said. Casey Martin, head coach of the men’s golf team and another Eugene native, has been playing on this course since adolescence. It was Martin who had the idea to submit a bid for this year’s championship. For him, it’s been about showcasing the course he calls home. “This is home for me,” Martin said at a press conference last month. “That’s been a big reason why we’re able to get the championship here; the staff here at ECC I think feels the same way.” The national championship is the largest stage in collegiate golf, but will be even larger due to one huge factor: television. The Golf Channel will be broadcasting the last three days of the tournament, and will feature over 100 hours of coverage, replays and analysis.
‘It’s how you finish’
Oregon women’s golf team members have said while there is pressure on them to perform well, they are approaching this like any other tournament. “Just because someone put a banner up that says ‘Nationals’ doesn’t mean we should change our game plan or do anything different,” Inglis said. Gaughan said while this is not the first time ECC has hosted an event like this, it does still create excitement for him and his staff. “You get pumped up a little bit,” Gaughan said. “Kind of like playing a championship game or something — you’ve got to have your A game”. But this stage is nothing new for Gaughan. He’s been here before and knows what it takes for his staff to be successful. “You just can’t go those first couple days and call it good. “I always tell [the ECC staff], ‘It’s how you finish,’ ” Gaughan said. “You’ve got to finish like a champ.”

Finding a permanent solution to the leadership vacancy at the University of Oregon Police Department is finally out of the beta stage. According to Andre Le Duc, assistant vice president of UO’s Risk Management, search committee members tasked with screening UO’s newest police chief candidates met for the first time on May 9. The committee was formed after the unexpected departure of UOPD’s former Chief Carolyn McDermed in February. The committee of 13 individuals, comprised of faculty, undergrad and grad students, UOPD staff members, UO administrators and Eugene Police Department Chief Pete Kerns, began the process of finding UO’s next chief of police. “We are accepting applications up until May 18,� Le Duc said. “At that time, we will have the committee review those applications and then do a ranking process to determine which candidates will advance.� The candidates will then go through an initial round of Skype interviews as a group of finalists are selected. Those finalists will then come to campus to have interviews with UOPD, several departments that are most affected by campus security and a student panel. They will also give a public presentation. Le Duc had hoped the search process would be further along at this point. His original plan involved holding public forums on campus during the school year so students would be able to interact with potential candidates. He now believes his early plan might have been too optimistic. Le Duc now sees mid-to-late June as a more likely decision date. “We are still trying to do this as timely as possible,� Le Duc said. “I had hoped that we would be able to do this before the end of the term, but that really was not realistic with having a four to six week open national search.�
Le Duc stressed that this national search will begin with defining its purpose. His plan for the first meeting on May 9 was to discuss what the UO community values in its police force. He also planned to discuss what community-based policing and campus-based policing look like. Kelly McIver, communications director and public information officer for the UOPD, explained how the search group will streamline UOPD’s efforts. “Search committees are common across public and private enterprise, but especially in education,� McIver said in an email. “They allow stakeholders from across the organization to bring their special perspectives to a hiring process and to use the power of many minds to come to a recommendation to the hiring authority.� According to McIver, the search group will be utilizing a consulting group to broaden the array of qualified applicants who will apply. The consultant group will spread news of the job application via networks of professionals working in the industry of law enforcement. Le Duc is ultimately tasked with hiring the candidate that best fits the job description, but the use of a search committee is designed to give the institution a wide range of advisers to recognize strengths and weaknesses in the candidates. “This committee is large, even by university standards,� Le Duc said. “But we wanted to have representation from across the institution, from students and employees, academic as well as administrative areas. We rely heavily on the partners who work closely with university police all the time and value the input representatives from those areas will contribute to the search process.� BY CHRISTOPHER TROTCHIE, @CHRISTOPHER999

DOCUMENTARY SERIES TAKES FANS INTO THE DUGOUT ➡ J O N AT H A N

This season, Oregon’s Koral Costa has packed two extra items when she’s hit the road with the Ducks softball team. She brings a GoPro and a Sony Handycam, which help Costa and her Oregon teammates capture behind-thescenes moments traveling throughout the country. Oregon has produced weekly documentary-style videos that are about 10-15 minutes in length. The series, Keep It Real, features footage by Costa and others. The series has chronicled the ups and downs of the season, something Costa says she enjoys as a cinema studies major. She has an internship with the Oregon video department and writes a weekly journal on her contributions to the series, which usually comes out mid-week. She loves finding good angles to film and capturing the realistic moments of the season. “The whole object was to try and get the audience and fans to understand what it’s like to be a player,” Costa said. “Our goal is just trying to capture those in-between moments, showing how funny and personable we are.” During games on the road, softball’s director of operations Megan Murphy contributes to filming. But it’s Costa who records on buses, airplanes and hotels and gives the camera to her fellow teammates, who have become increasingly comfortable recording themselves. “At first, the players were shy, like ‘Don’t get me eating on camera,’ “ Costa said. “But now they’re used to the cameras being around. They grab the camera from me and start filming.” Murphy is proud of the extra responsibilities Costa has taken on this season. “This is such a fun team,” Murphy said. “It’s cool that everybody gets to see that.” After a road series, Murphy or Costa hands the footage over to Oregon’s video team, which edits the takes. The clips are often combined with in-game footage from the television broadcast. They have also put out a few features this season, including a segment with the Lindvall sisters and their mom. Costa said she loves looking up into the stands to see fans with “#KeepItReal” signs. “They watch,” Costa said. “It’s neat to see that they care about what we do off the field.” Joe Waltasti, the team’s athletic communications contact, was the first to pitch the idea. He said the series wouldn’t be possible without Costa, adding that collegiate players are used to sharing their stories on social media. “It was definitely a guinea pig series in itself,” Costa said. “We were the first of its kind.” Oregon coach Mike White said it’s helpful to have the team comfortable around cameras, especially with an increase in media attention in the postseason. “I think the videos are a great way for the players to tell a story and hopefully get other kids interested in playing the sport,” White said in an interview with KWVA earlier this season. Costa said the extra responsibilities “don’t feel like work at all.” She’s looking forward to replaying the videos and reminding herself of all the quirky, uncut and random moments of her final collegiate softball season. “In four years, maybe even 10, I can show my only family what it was like to be a college athlete,” Costa said. “That’s neat. And so can the other players.”

đ&#x;“Ł OPINION HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
GENDER NEUTRAL BATHROOMS?
(Mariel Abbene)
“W
e must fight to keep our state straight,� said North Carolina Senator Buck Newton. “We must fight to keep our state straight,� said North Carolina Senator Buck Newton. The context of the speech was North Carolina’s refusal to allow transgender people the right to use the bathroom of their choice. From the perspective of the North Carolina Republican, I guess the harder we fight, the less gay we all become. The issues around the country regarding transgender bathroom access are just one small aspect in the larger picture that is transgender rights. If you’re worried about businesses accommodating gender neutral bathrooms, already 70 percent of the nation’s leading Fortune 500 companies have nondiscrimination policies that cover gender identity, according to the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. The reason major companies care so much about nondiscrimination is because when communities are welcoming places for everyone, businesses flourish as well. What is interesting to note about the whole situation is that people are taking a strong stand against transgender bathroom rights when, in reality, they know very little about the issue. For example, many Americans are unaware that 18 states now have laws and ordinances that protect transgender people from discrimination, yet there have been no increases in public safety incidents.

Some legislators and ignorant voters might be baffled by this. Recently, there has been a lot of talk about whether these laws will cause safety problems as many assume they will allow perverted old men to dress up to get into the women’s bathroom for a sick thrill. Well, as it turns out, even after the laws and ordinances were passed to protect transgender individuals, assault was still illegal — who would have known? If you still think that an increase in transgender rights to choose the bathroom of their choice will result in an increase in sexual assaults, then you are arguing a point that is not based in fact. We shouldn’t continue to believe that allowing transgender individuals to use the bathroom of their choice is a problem. In this case, I would argue that if you’re focused on what genitals the person in the stall next to you has, then maybe you’re the one doing something illegal. This whole issue really shows the deep bigotry in the U.S against those who are different. It’s not right to fight against something that makes other law abiding citizens’ lives easier, just because you feel like it. Experiencing all this hate toward a group of people is irrational, and these cynics should stay out of political and social issues. On the other hand, if your heart really is in the right place, and you really did think that transgender individuals getting access to the
bathroom of their choosing actually results in more assaults, then understand the facts and worry about the real issues. A real issue relating to sexual assault to be concerned about, instead of the false idea of transgender bathroom assaults, is former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert who recently received only 15 months in prison for molesting children. This person should receive as much criticism as we can possibly muster up, not the transgender people who haven’t done anything wrong and just want to use a bathroom they’re comfortable in. With everything that has been said, there is a solution to this issue. We should enact policies and ordinances that allow transgender individuals to choose the bathroom that they want, plain and simple. Allowing people to use the bathroom of their choice would also mean providing more gender neutral bathrooms. Although transgender rights are still somehow a debatable topic, we need to continually look at the facts of the situation so we do not fall into a trap of ignorance set up by politicians who want to “keep their state straight.� Zachary Moss is a political columnist at the Emerald.

(Mariel Abbene)
Graduation, Obama & Commencement Speeches, U.S. transgender bathroom policy, Steph Curry It’s week eight and almost time to lift a weight. Don’t give in to too much recreational bait but have your fun at a justifiable rate. “Dale.� To answer the question on the tip of everyone’s tongue about what I’m doing after graduation, or rather what I’m not doing: no making rhymes for me, nor quoting Pitbull ever again. To all my fellow graduates, whether you have a set post-graduation plan or not, I think we’re all in need of one last inspirational push into the real world. We’ve spent the last several years in school, listening to spiels left and right, but our commencement into the future is quickly approaching. When the day comes, there is no doubt we’ll hear speeches that are meant to give us both closure for the world we’re leaving and optimism for the one we’re about to enter, and I’m very much looking forward to it. Over the last couple weeks, many colleges across the U.S. (that are not on the quarter system as we are) celebrated the accomplishments of thousands of graduates, and some of these ceremonies were graced with a star keynote speaker. On May 7 at Washington D.C.’s Howard University and on May 15 at Rutgers University in New Jersey, President Barack Obama spoke to members of the class of 2016 with poise and wisdom. He had a few overlapping themes in the two speeches, but also some unique, standout points that I appreciated. At Howard, the president was able to connect with his audience in terms of identity markers,

specifically one of race. He said to the students of this historically black university, “Be confident in your heritage. Be confident in your blackness. There’s no one way to be black. Take it from somebody who’s seen both sides of the debate about whether I’m black enough.� He went on to talk about the #BlackLivesMatter movement, and continued to keep his words important and incredibly relevant. On Sunday at Rutgers, the POTUS made his speech a little more political in that he took some not-so-subtle jabs at (Mc)Donald Trump. He never mentioned the Republican presidential candidate, but he did mention a few key aspects of Trump’s controversial plan for the U.S. From “isolating or disparaging Muslims,� to Trump generally being ignorant, Obama’s message to the graduates was, “It’s not cool to not know what you’re talking about.� Obama is set to speak at one more graduation ceremony this year, unfortunately not at the University of Oregon, but at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on June 3. Aside from giving speeches at graduations, the president continued to do good for the U.S. education system this week. According to USA Today, on May 13, the Obama Administration told “all U.S. public school districts to allow students to use restrooms and locker rooms ‘consistent with their gender identity’ in a letter from the Department of Education.� This policy was issued in response to the controversy surrounding the
topic of transgender students and whether it should be permissible for them to use bathrooms according to the gender they’ve assigned to themselves, rather than the gender written on their birth certificates. I applaud Obama for paying attention to a marginalized community, and I encourage others to try it out. One team that doesn’t need to hold try-outs for awhile is the Golden State Warriors who got to celebrate #AnotherOne this week in the fifth and final game of the NBA Western Conference SemiFinals match-up against Portland. But the ‘Zers should be proud, since it wasn’t a blowout game, ending with a final score of 121-125. Mr. Zero, or Damian Lillard, and the rest of the Blazers went all-out in the paint on May 11, but the Bay Area’s bae, Steph Curry, just couldn’t be beat. The man has no competition, which was clear at the end of the game on Tuesday when Curry received the 2016 Most Valuable Player award for the second year in a row. He’s the first player to ever win MVP by a unanimous vote. Now, we’ll have to stay tuned to see whether Steph and his Warriors will come out on top in the remainder of the championship games, or if it’ll be the Thunder, Raptors or Lebron’s Cavaliers.
