There are endless combinations of things you can add to really bring it to the next level, but there’s actually a more important part: the soup base of the ramen is what you build on.

While the 2017 NBA Draft is loaded with more talent than has been seen in years, one player has gotten the lion's share of the attention — Lonzo Ball.

Lonzo is a great player and has some of the best court-vision you could hope to find in a rookie out of college, but his play and his passing aren't the only reasons his name has been grabbing headlines. Much of that attention can be credited to his father, LaVar Ball.

With Lonzo entering the NBA this season... Читать дальше...

Oracle destroyed earnings Wednesday. 

Shares of the company gained about 10% after the better than expected results.

UBS analyst Fatima Boolani thinks this is just the beginning for Oracle and shares are only going up from here.
