Kevin Durant creates history by achieving an NBA feat that hasn’t been done in six decades

In his first season suiting up for the Brooklyn Nets, Kevin Durant has been averaging about 30 points per game for 15 consecutive games, making him only the second player in NBA history to log in that stat with a new team.

According to ESPN Stats and Info, Wilt Chamberlain achieved the feat in the 1959-60 season with the Philadelphia Warriors. Unlike Durant, those were Chamberlain’s first-ever games in the league.

Kevin Durant is rightly considered as one of the most potent scorers in the history of the game. Other than two rings, numerous All-Star and All-NBA selections, the megastar also has four scoring titles in his trophy case. He is also a part of the exclusive 50-40-90 club, which only consists of eight players till now. In the 2012-13 season, Durant entered this club as he shot 51% from the field, 42% from downtown and 91%% from the free-throw line.

Currently, Durant is having a phenomenal season. Entering play on Wednesday, he is averaging 30.1 points per game and 7.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 blocks per game.

Despite being away from an NBA court for 18 months, he does not appear to have lost a step on either end, and the Nets have not had to limit his workload; his usage rate of 32.3 is the second-highest mark of his career. Brooklyn is a plus -12.8 points per 100 possessions with Durant on the floor, and they fall to minus -7.6 per 100 when he is not playing.

FIFA 21: Here’s the FUT 21 Team of the Week 18 (TOTW 18)

EA Sports has now officially revealed the Team of the Week 18 for the FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. It is headed by two players, Neymar and Benzema. They both have a 92 rated card

Starting XI

  • GK: Pope – 84
  • CB: Elvedi – 84
  • CB: Marcelo – 84
  • CB: Romero – 82
  • LM: Kostic – 85
  • CM: Maddison – 86
  • CM: De Jong – 86
  • LM: Neymar – 92
  • CF: Bernardo Silva – 88
  • LF: Pellegrini – 82
  • CF: Benzema – 92

The starting XI player and some substitutes would be a great addition to your new FUT 21 squad. And, if you somehow end up getting a low-rated player, don’t worry as you can get a handsome amount of coins by selling them quickly.

The TOTW 18 players are in the squad from 27th January and will be removed from packs at 5.59 pm GMT on 3rd February, when TOTW 19 will come out.

Manchester United loses against 20th placed Sheffield United

Manchester United’s excellent run in the Premier League is halted by the 20th placed Sheffield United last night.

Manchester United was beaten by Sheffield United at home by 2-1. Manchester United was not at their best yesterday. The Red Devils have created enough chances but failed to capitalize on them.

Sheffield United took the lead in the 23rd minute as Kean Bryan headed into the net from a corner. Manchester United came back in the 64th minute as Harry Maguire scored the equalizer. But they conceded again in the 74th minute. Defensive flaws cost Manchester United this season many times. The same happened again yesterday.

After the match, Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted the fact that Manchester United was not in their top yesterday. He said, “We had all the possession but when you concede two bad goals it’s always going to be difficult.”

“We didn’t create big enough chances to score enough goals. That magic was missing, that little bit extra.”

“They defended well, fair play to them but we didn’t have the right ideas or solutions. The first goal is a foul, Billy Sharp runs into David de Gea. At the other end, no foul for the disallowed goal for us but it’s that kind of season. Two mistakes by the referee.”

“It wasn’t to be, the second goal we conceded is so poor, so sloppy. Easy. We stopped getting out to the ball, three or four bad decisions which are out of character.”

“There will be no big inquest. There have been so many odd results this season, but with the world, as it is we have been the most consistent team, it hit us today.”

Manchester United dropped to the second position in the table after the loss. The Red Devils will travel to Emirates Stadium on Sunday to face Arsenal.

NBA reschedules games during the first half of season involving Wizards, Trail Blazers, Hornets

Heading into the 2020-21 season, the nba did not release a full schedule. They chose to release just the first half, which ends on March 4. It did so because of health concerns during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and to give itself added flexibility in the event that games had to be rescheduled.

Since the onset of this season, nearly a dozen games have already been postponed because of coronavirus.

On Wednesday, the league announced three schedule changes in a press release. It read:

“The National Basketball Association announced today that it will reschedule during the First Half of the season certain games that were previously postponed. In addition, certain games that were otherwise scheduled for the Second Half will now be scheduled into the First Half, with a more specific focus on the teams with the most postponed games to date. To create maximum flexibility, dates of existing games may also be moved in order to schedule additional games into the First Half.”

The changes in the league’s schedule are as follows:
-Portland Trail Blazers vs. Washington Wizards – February 2 (originally scheduled for second half of the season)
-Washington Wizards at Charlotte Hornets – February 7 (rescheduled from January 20)
-Portland Trail Blazers at Charlotte Hornets – Postponed (moved to second half of the season)

The Wizards had six straight postponed games in the middle of January because of a coronavirus outbreak. Moving all the games to the second half would have created issues not only for them, but also for the teams they were set to face.

Indian retail stock market investors flock to join GameStop’s wild ride

Indian retail stock market investors flock to join GameStop’s wild ride

India’s day traders are strapping in for the American videogame retailer, GameStop Corp.’s, ride that’s taken equity markets by storm. On Stockal, a platform for Indian retail investors to trade U.S. equities, GameStop was among the five most-traded names over the past week. 

GameStop accounted for about 15% of all trades on Stockal. “We were not expecting Indians would be on Reddit, reading about GameStop,” co-founder and co-chief executive officer Sitashwa Srivastava said in an interview, according to Bloomberg. Unlike many of their options-heavy WallStreetBets (WSB, a subreddit community on Reddit where participants discuss stock and options trading) counterparts, Indian traders aren’t allowed to take on leverage while trading foreign stocks, he said. “These are all trading in cash.”

GameStop has had a rise in the stock prices of more than 1,700% this year by exploded onto trading screens due to trader talk on forums and Elon Musk’s “Gamestonk!!” tweet. The American company has taken professionals by surprise and squeezed shorts at major hedge funds.

As in other markets, Indians have also seen a surge in retail investing as more people are staying indoors since the pandemic struck and many of them have flocked to stock markets at home and abroad. According to Stockal, their favorites in the U.S. have been the likes of Apple and Tesla, and a rise in rankings in recent months for Covid-19 vaccine maker Moderna and Chinese electric vehicle firm Nio.

In China, the most-traded U.S. names Wednesday on a trading app were GameStop and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. The app is of Shenzhen-based Futu Holdings Ltd., which serves individual investors in Mainland China and Hong Kong.

‘Real Skin’

A Mumbai-based marketing consultant, Dipe Chatterjee, says he’s bought shares of GameStop and Tesla in recent months, making a 150% return on his $1,000 investment in the games retailer earlier this week before swiftly booking profits.

“It’s a game with real skin in it,” he said.

Amid a surge of new participants on the subreddit WallStreetBets earlier, it briefly turned itself off. As day traders plugged companies led by GameStop, the site had racked up more than 3 million members.

Colorful will not be making Intel Iris Xe graphics card – confirmed!

Recently we stated on basis of Intel’s Iris Xe Graphics Card launch, ASUS and Colorful would be making these new OEM-exclusive GPUs. But, it turns out the Chinese manufacturing company is not at all interested with Intel GPUs.

Colorful has posted an official statement on social media stating that it will not be making Intel Iris Xe graphics card. The brand is only exclusive to making NVIDIA GeForce graphics only.

The thing actual made everyone believe that Colorful is making Intel GPU is because there was a wrong image description on Intel website. The image was named: colorful-2-fan-dg1-angle-1-rwd.png.rendition.intel.web.720.405.png.

So, this naturally made everyone think that Colorful will make Xe graphics card and its quite unusual mistake from Intel as well. As Videocardz predicts, this might be due to the fact that the manufacturing facility is making the same design to that of Colorful.
