Liam Livingstone on Bhanuka Rajapaksa #bhanuka #ipl2022 #vmaxsports Liam Livingstone's 117-metre six against GT leaves Shami, Mayank dumbstruck; Rashid Khan checks his bat Former England captain Kevin Pietersen, who was at the commentary box during the strike, hailed it as the "biggest six he has ever seen" and reiterated the same after the match as well on Star Sports. "I have seen Chris Gayle do that often, but this was something different," exclaimed Punjab Kings head coach Anil Kumble after the game. Former England captain Kevin Pietersen, who was at the commentary box during the strike, hailed it as the "biggest six he has ever seen" and reiterated the same after the match as well on Star Sports. Mohammed Shami was brought in the 16th over to add to Punjab's woes, but Livingstone had other plans. Against the very first ball of the over, the one angling in and on length, Livingstone cleared the front leg to swing his bat with all his might and muscled it sky high over deep square leg for a six. And it wasn't any normal six. It went for a 117 metres, the biggest in this season, and it almost seemed it cleared the roof. A couple of tight overs from Gujarat Titans and Shikhar Dhawan's struggle in the middle overs left the 2022 IPL match between Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings in balance. Despite Dhawan's half-century score and the rebuilding act alongside Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Punjab were left with 27 to win in the final 30 balls, but it was still their match to lose. And then, out of nowhere, Liam Livingstone left everyone dumbfounded with a monstrous hit. Even the bowler was spotted smiling at the big hit.

I want to get a little feedback from you guys. Hit me up on my YouTube channel or Twitter or wherever QB Confidential is. Let me know whatever you guys are looking for! I am always dumbfounded when I put different videos out there and I think, “this is a great video, really teaches the game,” and it doesn’t get very many views. Then I do something on a team that’s pertinent in the NFL, still not many views. I do something else and it gets a lot of views. Always trying to get feedback from you guys on why it is that you like, what you want to see, etc. Is it stuff that is pertinent specifically to your team or to certain teams? But hit me up just so I can give you guys what you want. Normally every week, I just look for themes in the different films that I am watching. Whether that is an overall theme in the week about interceptions and the anatomy of the INT. How those things play out. Today, we are looking at the Buffalo Bills. A couple of weeks ago, I thought the Bills were the best football team in the NFL. They’ve struggled since then, lost to a Jags team that had one win up to this point. You sit back, scratch your head and say, “how does this stuff happen?” As you know, every week to me it’s about details. I don’t care how good you are, how talented you are, if you don’t pay attention to the details and little things, such as hidden yardage. There isn’t a stat for it, but I always watch for it when I go through the film. “Where did they miss opportunities to get yards? Where did something happen that changed the play from being 3 yards to being 10 yards?” Or vise versa. Those are the little things that add up in a game and determine whether a team wins or loses at the NFL level because there is so much parody. Today, we are going to look at the Buffalo Bills versus the Jacksonville Jaguars and I am going to show you a lot of the little details that I believe is what cost them. All they needed was 3 more points. A touchdown here instead of a field goal would’ve won them the game but a lot of things that they did or didn’t do well enough that I believe cost them the game. Hidden yardage. That’s what it’s all about. Go back and look at the game and look at how many opportunities the Buffalo Bills missed in that game. Without a doubt, it would've changed what that game looked like. There’s always going to be hidden yardage in every game. There are going to be times where you miss an opportunity: QB makes a bad throw, misses a read, misses a guy, a receiver falls, etc. but that wasn’t all the plays I could find. That was 17 plays in the game! How many plays do we get in a game? 60-65? 17 plays where Buffalo missed opportunities for some easy hidden yardage. 3 point loss, without a doubt, those plays determined the fact that they could’ve won, but lost because of the little things that they didn’t do. That, to me, is what makes a good football team, a GREAT football team. It’s not just the talent you have, the ability to capture as much hidden yardage as possible each and every Sunday. Because at the end of the day, those hidden yardages are difference makers in the parody of the NFL. #JoshAllen #BuffaloBills #QBConfidential
Liverpool beat Atletico Madrid 3-2 in the UEFA Champions League in a match that the ESPN FC panel were dumbfounded they were able to pull out. Steve Nicol says Virgil van Dijk is still not to his best since his injury, and Nedum Onuoha takes it a step further, saying the whole team was very poor in a game where they once had a 2-0 lead.

ESPN FC's Herculez Gomez and Sebastian Salazar are joined by Fernando Palomo to breakdown Porto's big win over Juventus in UEFA Champions League. Palomo takes a look at Mexican international Tecatito's impact in the win for Porto, and questions if USMNT's Weston Mckennie should have been on the field longer for Andrea Pirlo. Gomez believes Pirlo showed how green he is with Juve looking flat in both games vs. Porto, and says he was dumbfounded that Mckennie didn't log more minutes. âś” Subscribe to ESPN+: http://espnplus.com/soccer/youtube âś” Subscribe to ESPN FC on YouTube: http://bit.ly/SUBSCRIBEtoESPNFC
June 30, 1993 - Shawn Bradley took a circuitous path to the NBA. After averaging 25 points, 17 rebounds, and 9 blocks as a high school senior, the 7-foot-6 center enrolled at Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah. There, he averaged 14.8 points and 7.7 rebounds while setting the NCAA freshman record for blocks (177) and blocks per game (5.2). Following his freshman year (the 1990-91 college season), Bradley stepped away from collegiate basketball and instead embarked on a two-year mission trip to Australia. So it was with that knowledge—that he hadn't played competitively at a high level in two years—that the 76ers snagged Bradley with the second overall pick in '93. While never achieving stardom on the level of fellow top-5 picks Chris Webber, Penny Hardaway, and Jamal Mashburn, Bradley was still able to carve out a 12-year NBA career that saw him rack up 2,119 blocks, good for 14th all-time in NBA history (just 18 blocks behind Ben Wallace). After retiring in 2005, Bradley returned to Utah, his home state, where he once had his giant, oversized mountain bike stolen off his property. But then it was found. https://www.deseret.com/2011/11/10/20389469/dumbfounded-shawn-bradley-wonders-why-anyone-would-steal-custom-made-bike#shawn-bradley-shown-here-riding-his-custom-made-bicycle-that-was-stolen-during-a-recent-burglary
HARTFORD, Conn. – Ja Morant doesn’t have to dunk to be ridiculous, but luckily for all of us in the XL Center for Murray State’s 83-64 victory Thursday against Marquette, he dunked. And, yes, it was ridiculous. But you knew that, right? Even if you’d never heard of Ja Morant before this season began — who else has their hand in the air? — you know all about his dunking now. You’ve seen the highlights. Social media loves itself some Ja Morant, as does ESPN, because he doesn’t dunk the ball like most people dunk it. He dunks like he’s mad at somebody, or everybody. And the rim. He’s definitely mad at the rim. Since you’re here, let’s go ahead and discuss that dunk in the second half Thursday in this NCAA tournament opener, this upset of fifth-seeded Marquette by the 12th-seeded Racers, the one where he started on the left wing without the ball and made a backdoor cut. He received the pass, rose like a helicopter and floated past one Marquette defender and encountered a second one at the rim. And when he got there, Ja Morant was angry. Morant threw the ball down with both hands, mad at the world or at least the Hauser brother in his way. Joey Hauser, pretty sure, not his older brother Sam. By the time the dunk was through the net, the crowd was roaring and a fan behind the basket was dumbfounded, her mouth agape, and Morant was dangling from the rim and using it to climb over Hauser like a gymnast over a pommel horse. Ridiculous. But to see Morant in person, to see an entire game and not just the viral snippets on social media, is to see someone unlike any player in college basketball. Very few guards, if any, have his vertical leap, his ability to play so far above the rim at a height of 6-2. Very few guards, if any, have his first step, which reminds me of a video game I played as a kid in the convenience store, a game called "Asteroids." In that game, on occasion, the gamer can punch a button and make his ship disappear, only to appear somewhere else on the screen. Hyperspace, they call that. Ja Morant does that when he has the ball in his hands and somewhere else to be. He does something — he takes his first step, I guess — and disappears and shows up somewhere else. And very few guards (though there are some) have his ability to control the ball, or his ability to see the floor. And all of that, in the same package? The vertical, the explosion, the ballhandling and the vision? Nobody has all of that. Nobody but Ja Morant. Nobody in college basketball, anyway. The comparisons Morant most commonly draws are to Russell Westbrook and Allen Iverson. Folks say he has the vertical power of Westbrook, and the first step of Iverson. You hearing me? People are saying Ja Morant is like some hybrid superhero, the best of Westbrook and Iverson. Ridiculous. Unless you were lucky enough to be in the XL Center on Thursday, as I was, killing time, minding my own business, just waiting for the Purdue game to start in several hours. And then you’d understand the comparisons. You’d maybe even agree. Pretty sure I do. Listen, I’ve watched a ton of basketball this year, but I’ve felt this way — blown away by the basketball player before my eyes — just once. And that guy? Zion Williamson. He was at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in November, he and Duke playing Kentucky, and Zion looked like something out of a comic book: Built like an NFL offensive lineman, assuming you can find a 6-7, 285-pound NFL offensive lineman without any fat, but exploding into the air with a 45-inch vertical like Michael Jordan. Oh, I know. That’s impossible. That’s what people told me after I wrote what I wrote about Zion in November. Four months of viral Zion highlights later, nobody would tell me that today, right? From a physical standpoint — not skills, just physically — the closest thing I’ve ever seen to Zion’s combination of power and explosive athletic ability is LeBron James. Only … Zion is at least 20 pounds heavier. Ridiculous. Speaking of ridiculous … The other day, ESPN NBA analyst Tim Legler was saying that he wasn’t sure Zion Williamson should be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft. This grabbed my attention. Who did he mean, Zion’s Duke teammate, R.J. Barrett? Nope. Legler said he’d be inclined to draft Ja Morant ahead of Zion Williamson. ------------- TOP, murray state, ja morant murray state, morant murray state, ja morant nba, ja morant stats, ja morant draft, ja morant highlights, nba draft, ja morant nba draft, murray state basketball, murray state basketball ja morant, ja morant college, zion williamson ja morant, zion williamson, ja morant espn, nba mock draft, marquette, ja morant marquette, ja morant ncaa tournament, ja morant high school, ja morant height, ja morant recruiting, markus howard, nba draft 2019, ja morant nba draft 2019, , RISING, ja morant vs markus howard, marquette vs murray state, ja morant vs marquette, phil cofer
