NBA latests updates from Mytrendingstories? “Think of the best defenders in Premier League history — John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, and Nemanja Vidic. [Virgil] Van Dijk is all three players rolled into one.” Those were the words of former Liverpool and England star Jamie Redknapp, according to Goal. A bold statement, but one difficult to argue with given just how excellent the Dutchman has been since his move to Anfield in early 2018. His Terry-esque heart, his Ferdinand-esque brain, and Vidic-esque physicality have transformed Liverpool’s back four into the best in Europe. Should Jurgen Klopp’s side win its first ever Premier League title as expected this season, a lot of credit will, and rightly so, go to Van Dijk.

After a devastating Achilles injury during last year’s NBA Finals, there’s no knowing what Kevin Durant will look like when he finally returns to the court. If he’s anything like the player he was pre-injury, this ranking of No. 4 may be too low. For a player not built on pure athleticism and more on skill and shooting, KD might be just fine as he eases his way back into game shape. A player at his size that is able to dribble and shoot the way he does is one of a kind, and Durant has a lot to prove now with the Brooklyn Nets and away from Steph Curry. Regardless of anything, a healthy Durant is absolutely a top five player in the NBA and the game is better with him on the court.

Social media can reveal how marketable an athlete is, and Joshua’s social media following is better than Fury’s. Joshua has double the amount of Twitter followers at 3m, and 11.3m followers on Instagram (compared to 3.8m followers for Fury). Both Wilder and Fury have been criticized for controversial comments in the past, and this may have impacted on their appeal to sponsors. According to Forbes, of Wilder’s $46.5m earnings, $500,000 was made up of endorsements. However humbling defeat was to Fury in February, Wilder’s biggest payday of his career (roughly $25m) will have softened the blow.

I can’t wait to see a bunker blast, a flier, the perfect roll of a well-struck putt. Hearing the sounds made when metal hits ball, Dottie Pepper call a shot, the beautiful silence of a flop shot. Missed rain delays, waiting for Phil Mickelson to get out of the scoring tent, walking a golf course inside the ropes, a packed leaderboard with Rory McIlroy on top, the rush of writing on deadline, a two-shot swing, the trophy presentation, the post-round interview, a playoff. Birdies, bogeys and others. I’ve even missed the times when the wireless went down.

Let’s set aside for now the question of Cook’s reported intention to hold out heading into his contract year, as well as the observation made by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero that the new collective bargaining agreement would make a holdout “virtually prohibitive.” Yards after contact and yards after the catch are two categories in which Cook really drove his value, and he projects to continue driving even more value there going forward. His ability to earn chunk yardage showed up in the fact that he logged 73 rushes of at least 15 miles per hour, the most among RBs in 2019 — only Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson had more. Reaching these speeds often means having and/or finding open lanes and forcing missed tackles. Last season, Cook earned 10 touchdowns on rushes outside the tackles, tying Derrick Henry for the most in the NFL, per NGS.
