Charles Barkley is no fan of Kevin Durant joining the Warriors. (Scott Halleran/Getty Images) Kevin Durant's decision to sign with the Golden State Warriors in free agency has engendered a host of strong and loud reactions from all over the sporting world, with many pointing to the formerOklahoma City Thunder star's past public critique of those who choose to join other superstars to form super-teams rather than joining already-elite squads to pursue titles as evidence that the 2014 NBA Most Valuable Player has gone soft or lost his edge. Hall of Famer and Turner Sports NBA commentator Charles Barkley's job, primarily, is to have strong and loud reactions, and he strongly and loudly sided with those upset by Durant's decision during a Wednesday morning appearance on ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike" show:

Andy Murray, having won the "World Championships" (an exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi) and the Qatar Open already, is the form player on the tour just now, and he has certainly been the centre of attention out in Melbourne, but it would be foolish to rush to conclusions on the evidence of those events.Andy Murray

The sporting transatlantic divide (as played out on Google) - 0 views

Rob Robson on 25 Mar 09

Working in a transatlantic company by day, I'm always struck by just how different the American and British cultures are - and nowhere is that much more evident than in sport. Reflecting on that, I thought I'd check how the difference in our sporting cultures played out on the internet by looking at Google Trends. Just how real is the transatlantic divide in sport? Are we really two sporting countries divided by a common language?

Rob Robson on 21 Mar 09

There's a growing condition affecting educational and sports research: a general aversion to talking about truth and its associates, such as fact, knowledge and evidence. This aversion is so widespread in some settings that it is taken for granted. I've learned from first hand experience that questioning the assumption that truth is a big con leads to looks of disorientated alarm.In one of those rare articles that people actually talk about occasionally I called this position 'veriphobia', or fear of truth. I've since learned from colleagues better educated than me that I've managed to compound Greek and Latin words, which apparently is a linguistic crime. But I still think it is a neat word!

KKR vs. CSK Prediction: On May 7, the Kolkata Knight Riders will play the Chennai Super Kings in Match 57 of the IPL 2025 season at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Kolkata still has a mathematical opportunity to earn a playoff position, while Chennai's tournament journey is already over. CSK, who are currently in 10th place at the bottom of the standings, have had a difficult season, winning just two of their 11 games and losing nine of them. This match will be seen as a chance for them to test their bench strength and regain some pride. On the other hand, despite a patchy season, the Kolkata Knight Riders are still in the running for the playoffs. With five wins, five losses, and one no-result from their 11 games thus far, they are sixth in the standings. Every game matters for KKR as they aim to place in the top four as the championship moves into its final stage. IPL 2025 Schedule: KKR vs. CSK match Date: May 7, Wednesday Time: 7:30 p.m. IST Location: Kolkata's Eden Gardens KKR captain: Ajinkya Rahane CSK Captain: MS Dhoni KKR vs. CSK Head-To-Head: One of the most thrilling games in the Indian Premier League has been the rivalry between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The two sides have faced one another in a total of thirty games over the years. The Chennai Super Kings have won 19 of those games, giving them a lead in this matchup. The Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, have won eleven times. Although CSK's constant domination is evident in this head-to-head record, KKR has also put on several standout performances that have heightened the excitement and intensity of this intense IPL rivalry. KKR vs. CSK IPL 2025 Match Prediction: Even though KKR is still in the running for the playoffs, they need to win every game they have left and pray for other favorable outcomes. With their current ranking of sixth, they will be keen to maintain their positive outlook. Chennai, meanwhile, has only two victor

Fast bowler Ben Sears from New Zealand joins Yorkshire - 0 views

Fast bowler Ben Sears, who signed with Yorkshire for the 2025 campaign, will get there in time for the team's second County Championship match of the year at Headingley against Worcestershire. When Sears, 27, took five wickets at Christchurch in 2024 against Australia, including four for ninety in the second innings, he demonstrated his raw pace for New Zealand. This was his lone Test match yet. Previously, in 2021, he made his T20I debut against Bangladesh. The club has also drawn comparisons with his countryman and former Yorkshire foreign star Lockie Ferguson. He will be joined at Headingley by fellow New Zealand fast Will O'Rourke, who has signed for the T20 Blast. "I can't wait to get over to Headingley and start playing with the guys," commented Sears. "I hope I can add to the fantastic signings that have already been made. In any season, it's critical to establish the mood early. There are several important games in that first block, and I'll be prepared to start the team as strongly as possible. "Ben is a true talent who can get some extra bounce when he bowls," stated head coach Anthony McGrath. I'm eager to get him over and begin working with him because he'll be a real handful during the early part of the year when pitches can be slower or greener." Cricket General Manager Gavin Hamilton also said: "The club's ability to draw in such gifted bowlers as Ben is evidence of Yorkshire's appeal on a global scale. Ben is a talented player who will add something extra to the team that will be vital this season. We are overjoyed that he has committed, and we can't wait to have him visit Headingley in April.

A player can feel it during a game when they hit a match-winning goal or when they miss a wide open net. A team can feel it when they come back from a deficit late in the game or when their lead in the league vanishes. A fan can feel it as their team "catches fire" or goes "as cold as ice". And, play-by-play announcers love to talk about it. We know it as the "Big Mo", the "Hot Hand", and being "In The Zone" while the psychologists call it Psychological Momentum. But, does it really exist? Is it just a temporary shift in confidence and mood or does it actually change the outcome of a game or a season? As expected, there are lots of opinions available.

For years, sport science and motor control research has added support to the fundamental assertions that "practice makes perfect" and "repetition is the mother of habit". However, many questions still exist as to exactly how we learn these skills. What changes happen in our brains when we teach ourselves a new task? What is the most effective and efficient way to master a skill? Do we have to be actually performing the skill to learn it, or could we just watch and learn?
