Amazing Historical Events That Occurred on 4/24🎉 #shorts #history

Amazing Historical Events That Occurred on April 24th If you're a history enthusiast, you'll be thrilled to learn about some incredible events that occurred on April 24th throughout history. This day has seen some significant moments that have shaped our world. In 1311, General Malik Kafur returned to Delhi after a triumphant campaign in South India. He was a successful general in the Delhi Sultanate, and his conquests expanded the empire's territory significantly. His return to Delhi on April 24th marked a significant moment in the history of the Delhi Sultanate. In 1503, the legendary artist Michelangelo began work on the 12 Apostles for the Cathedral of Florence. This was a huge undertaking that took years to complete, and it has since become one of the most iconic works of art in the world. Michelangelo's masterpiece is a testament to his creativity and skill, and it continues to inspire people today. In 1800, the US Library of Congress was established with an initial allocation of $5,000. This was a momentous occasion as the Library of Congress has since become the largest library in the world, containing millions of books, manuscripts, and other valuable pieces of information. It is a vital resource for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in learning. In 1895, the courageous Canadian-American explorer Joshua Slocum set sail from Boston, Massachusetts on a daring solo voyage around the world. He was the first person to accomplish this feat, and his journey took him through some of the most treacherous waters in the world. His voyage around the world was a testament to his bravery and adventurous spirit. In 1913, the impressive Woolworth Building was unveiled in New York City. This skyscraper was the tallest building in the world at the time, standing at an impressive 792 feet. It was a testament to the vision and ambition of its creator, Frank Winfield Woolworth, and it remains a landmark in New York City to this day. These are just a few of the incredible events that occurred on April 24th throughout history. Each event has played a significant role in shaping our world, and they are a testament to the creativity, bravery, and ambition of human beings.

The best available players after Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft

Photograph by Ken Murray/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images

Houston offensive tackle Josh Jones highlights the best players for the second round on Friday.

In the end, after several twists, turns and false rumors, the beginning of the 2020 NFL Draft went as usual. And that goes beyond Joe Burrow going first and Chase Young going second. The Lions took cornerback Jeff Okudah at No. 3. The Giants took an offensive tackle. Tua Tagovailoa went to the Dolphins like most expected until people started assuming they would take Justin Herbert. The Chargers wisely took the best quarterback that fell to them in Herbert.

But not everything went according to plan. The wide receivers came off the board in an order few expected. Same for the offensive tackles. The first round was also filled with some stunners, like the Green Bay Packers moving up for quarterback Jordan Love or the Seattle Seahawks holding at No. 27 and taking linebacker Jordyn Brooks.

Those unexpected picks meant some big names fell out of the first round. Here are the best players available at the start of the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, based on SB Nation’s top 100 players and then some:

In this article are the essential placement battles for the top teams.

If the Buckeyes system to air it out this year, they will want to settle on the targets quarterback J.T. Barrett can trust. City Meyer stated the receiver efficiency remaining anything to be wanted a yr ago, which sets up a challenge for the likes of Johnnie Dixon, Binjimen Victor, Terry McLaurin and other individuals competing for participating in time. — Dan Murphy

Considerably of the target has been on changing operating again Dalvin Cook dinner, but the Seminoles have a large gap on the offensive line to fill, as well. Left deal with Rod Johnson, voted the ACC’s very best lineman the earlier two seasons, is gone, and as it stands proper now, Josh Ball is the leader to switch him, but that could improve dependent on what happens in follow. Supplied the ups and downs Florida Condition had on the offensive line final year, it is really critical that the Seminoles get this placement squared away speedily. — Andrea Adelson

Bo Scarbrough, Damien Harris and the Alabama backfield are loaded. But what about receiver? Calvin Ridley is as fantastic as it receives, but he wants a sidekick with ArDarius Stewart and O.J. Howard gone. — Alex Scarborough

In all likelihood, all four gamers will be applied as portion of a rotation. — Kyle Bonagura

Locating a spouse for safety Marcus Allen in the center of the secondary would solidify a fantastic secondary for the Nittany Lions. Ayron Monroe, Troy Apke, Nick Scott and Garrett Taylor are all in the operating for the career. — Murphy

With Ramon Richards sliding over to safety, the Pokes never have a one cornerback who has commenced a sport for them. Clemson grad transfer Adrian Baker should really nail down a person of the open commencing places. But the other will be up for grabs, as Rodarius Williams, Madre Harper and A.J. Green will seem to phase into the void. — Jake Trotter

Dabo Swinney has taken care of all over the winter and spring that Kelly Bryant is in the very best placement to choose over for Deshaun Watson at quarterback. But the level of competition will intensify in the course of slide follow, when Hunter Johnson and Zerrick Cooper make a further force to get the commencing career. Swinney has performed various quarterbacks right before (he did so with Watson and Cole Stoudt in 2014), so never rule that out as a probability in the early heading. — Adelson

With Dede Westbrook gone, the Sooners are making an attempt to discover a new go-to receiver for QB Baker Mayfield.

All four, amid other individuals, will be making an attempt to confirm to Mayfield this camp that they can be dependable in large moments. — Trotter

The secondary is an evident team to pay attention to, but the Huskies also want to switch move-dashing linebacker Joe Mathis. Connor O’Brien took over that part for the second fifty percent of the year after Mathis was shed to damage, but he skipped the spring due to damage. Benning Potoa’e and Myles Rice are in the combine there. — Bonagura

The fantastic news is that Auburn is loaded on the offensive line. The problem is figuring out how all the pieces will fit. An exciting struggle is brewing in between Darius James and Prince Tega Wanogho at remaining deal with. — Scarborough

Redshirt junior Jacob Maxwell commenced the initial seven online games of the 2016 year at offensive deal with for the Badgers. A shoulder damage finished his yr early and put him in jeopardy of losing his place. He’ll have to struggle redshirt freshman Patrick Kasl, who had a reliable spring follow. — Murphy

With Duke Riley and Kendell Beckwith each gone at within linebacker, there are some critical holes to patch on Dave Aranda’s protection. Donnie Alexander is again, and transformed tailback Devin White is an intriguing solution, but never ignore Jacob Phillips, the No. 3-rated within linebacker in the 2017 class. — Scarborough

The Bulldogs return ten starters on protection but are however looking for a commencing nickelback. The fantastic news is that Georgia has the equipped bodies to fill that placement right before the initial kickoff of the year. Leaving spring, sophomore Tyrique McGhee and freshman DeAngelo Gibbs appeared to lead the way at the placement. Fifth-yr senior Aaron Davis confirmed some flashes there as properly this spring. All 3 enhanced their inventory at the placement this spring, but none of them has significantly encounter there. — Edward Aschoff

The Wolverines graduated two top-notch cover corners who permitted them to be a person of the most intense defenses in the country final year. There is a lot of youthful expertise at the place with David Long and Lavert Hill leading that team. They have yet to lock down a commencing pair. — Murphy

The preseason most loved to get the Coastal Division has just about just about every piece in place to make a run — all except a starter at quarterback. Freshman N’Kosi Perry can take his initial snap for Miami the moment slide follow commences, exactly where he will contend with top challengers Malik Rosier and Evan Shirreffs. Rosier is the only a person who has commenced a sport, but you will find a purpose coach Mark Richt remaining the level of competition open right up until Perry arrived. — Adelson

The Cardinal shed a pair of top-ten picks in Christian McCaffrey and Solomon Thomas but shed only four other gamers who had been outlined as starters headed into the Solar Bowl final year. The final result? This staff is fairly established. It will be exciting to see if incoming freshmen offensive linemen Foster Sarell and Walker Minimal can gain their way into the rotation. — Bonagura

Stacy Thomas returns as a stalwart at linebacker, but there is level of competition at a person of the exterior places. London Iakopo, a transformed safety, is atop the preseason depth chart, but he will be locked in a broad-open level of competition with Malik Staples. It will be exciting to see how the level of competition performs out, especially mainly because Staples spent time as an within linebacker. — Adelson

The Wildcats must switch their overall top team of linebackers. Trent Tanking is a weighty most loved to choose over in the center for All-Big 12 alternative Elijah Lee, but the exterior places seem additional unsure. Complicating issues, K-Condition typically performs just two linebackers, so remaining to battle for fundamentally a person place are junior Sam Sizelove and senior Jayd Kirby, who provide encounter in the K-Condition program and sturdy enjoy on special teams, talented juco transfer Da’Quan Patton and sophomores Justin Hughes and Elijah Sullivan. It may possibly not get sorted out before long. — Mitch Sherman

The biggest issue the Bulls are struggling with in camp is developing depth alongside their entrance seven. In certain, depth at linebacker proceeds to be a bring about for problem. Further than Auggie Sanchez, nobody has commenced a sport. There is a lot of potential, with superior anticipations for gamers these kinds of as Jimmy Bayes and Nico Sawtelle. But building excellent gamers guiding them is an complete priority. — Adelson

Remarkable enjoy at cornerback considerably solidifies the overall protection in coordinator Tony Gibson’s plan. The Mountaineers uncovered it final yr with Rasul Douglas. Who’s next? Potentially Elijah Struggle is all set to choose the torch, but the other place remains an open level of competition. Mike Daniels performed a reserve part final yr. Corey Winfield commenced for two several years at Syracuse right before arriving as a grad transfer. Hakeem Bailey and Fontez Davis incorporate intrigue as newcomers out of junior university. — Sherman

Still again, it is really the quarterback placement. The Gators have not had steady QB enjoy in almost a 10 years, but coach Jim McElwain not too long ago stated that he feels a lot additional self-assured in his quarterback room. Redshirt freshman Feleipe Franks remaining spring atop the depth chart and had a terrific offseason. Nonetheless, he’ll straight away struggle additional mobile and additional knowledgeable Notre Dame grad transfer Malik Zaire, alongside with former starter Luke Del Rio and classmate Kyle Trask. — Aschoff

For the second straight year, Virginia Tech has uncertainty at quarterback. With Jerod Evans gone, the level of competition proceeds amid Josh Jackson, A.J. Bush and Hendon Hooker. Mentor Justin Fuente does not have a timetable to name a starter, though Jackson could have the edge mainly because he has been in the program longer. — Adelson

New coach Tom Herman has been making an attempt to instill a competitive mind-set in his staff all offseason. But his level of competition at quarterback trumps all. Incumbent sophomore Shane Buechele is the mind-boggling most loved to get the career over freshman Sam Ehlinger. But the Longhorns will be in a little bit of a keeping sample right up until Herman officially names Buechele the starter. — Trotter

The Broncos return a very clear No. 1 solution in receiver Cedrick Wilson but have to discover a way to switch the production from final year shed by the departures of Thomas Sperbeck (80 catches) and Chaz Anderson (thirty catches). A.J. Richardson and Sean Modster each start out the yr atop the depth chart, but they put together for just ten catches final year. — Bonagura

The Cougars stated goodbye to two of the very best receivers in college record, Gabe Marks and River Cracraft, and quite a few gamers will be in the combine to assistance make up for the shed production (142 catches in between them final year).

We imagined how an NBA expansion draft would look today

All 30 SB Nation NBA blogs joined in to imagine a future where the league adds to expansion teams. Here are the results.

The NBA is approaching a 14th season existing with 30 teams, the longest period of time that the league has gone without adding or losing teams. Ever since the Charlotte Bobcats — now Hornets — joined in 2004, the 30-team league has been a happy, if flawed, default.

The NBA is also experiencing a global boom. It’s making more money than ever before, highlighted by a record-breaking nine-year, $24 billion television deal that kicked in last season. It’s rapidly growing in popularity both in the United States, where 29 of the 30 teams are located, and globally, where more and more international players are introduced to the league. Given the way this world works, and how quickly the NBA is rising, it was no surprise when NBA commissioner Adam Silver said this about expanding to 31 or 32 teams:

“I don’t want to put a precise timeline on it, but it’s inevitable at some point,” he told C.J. McCollum. (Yes, that’s Blazers guard C.J. McCollum).

Inevitable. That’s a strong word, but that’s where the league is headed.

SB Nation’s Tom Ziller is all over the logistics. You can read this explainer about what would need to happen for the NBA to vote for expansion, and also 13 places where the NBA could expand to, including two international options. (Not London!)

All those things have to be worked out by the smart people in the NBA before any expansion could be approved. We at SB Nation don’t have those same limitations, and we also know that there’s one especially fun thing about the process: The Expansion draft.

So, we are doing one of our own.

The concept is simple: all 30 teams can protect eight players off their roster, and the two expansion teams (it might just be one, but we’re going with two because it’s more fun) can pick from the remaining pool. They’d also get a top draft pick, but that’s not a major factor for this exercise.

We asked all 30 of our SB Nation NBA team blogs which eight players they would hold back from the expansion draft, and had them answer why.

Then there’s the actual draft.

Using the players our team communities left unprotected, SB Nation’s Kristian Winfield drafted one team, while our Seattle Supersonics blog Sonics Rising — a hopeful and extremely likely expansion team whenever it finally happens — selected the other. They will unveil their rosters at noon ET.

NOTE: Per expansion draft rules, each new expansion team is limited to one selection per NBA team. Hence, some of the picks.

Remember the time we last did this?

Tom Ziller will take a stroll down memory lane to 2004, when the Charlotte Bobcats (now Hornets) entered the league. There were some odd players left unprotected and some fascinating ripple effects.

Who would you pick?

Now it’s your turn. Here are the five most notable players left unprotected at each position.

And here’s the full list. Pick four from each category (but not two players from the same team) and let us know your 12-man rosters in the comments section:

NBA Summer League scores 2017: 3 winners from a stacked Friday night

Here’s a clue: Lonzo Ball was not a winner.

NBA basketball continued on Friday with a six-game slate of Summer League hoops, and some of the players you least expected had standout nights to help their chances at cracking the rotation come regular season.

The biggest surprise of all was Lonzo Ball, the Los Angeles Lakers’ highly touted No. 2 pick who only scored 5 points on 2-of-15 shooting. Ball showed the court vision and pinpoint accuracy he hangs his hat on, finding Brandon Ingram for an alley-oop on the game’s very first play. But an uncharacteristically poor shooting night underscored an otherwise solid NBA debut.

The look on Magic Johnson's face after this last Lonzo Ball brick says it all. http://pic.twitter.com/Cz4yRGelg5

Instead, guys like Clippers’ late picks Brice Johnson and Sindarius Thornwell had impressive showings. Cleveland cruised to a 29-point victory over the Bucks, and several of the Kings’ promising young players showed why the franchise could finally be headed in the right direction in the post-DeMarcus Cousins era.

Regardless, only three parties came away clear winners on Friday night. In case you were out partying, fell asleep, or just flat-out forgot basketball was a go, this is for you:

Winner: De’Aaron Fox

The Kings lost their Summer League opener against the Phoenix Suns, but De’Aaron Fox shined through defeat, showing why his name belonged next to Ball and Markelle Fultz as the top point guards in the 2017 draft class.

These four plays are all you need to see:

De'Aaron Fox thru the legs stepback jumper. Goodness. http://pic.twitter.com/Paplw2yWHU

Fox ultimately finished with 18 points on 7-of-16 shooting, along with five steals and four assists. Mama, there goes that man.

Winner: Los Angeles Clippers

Lonzo Ball was the headliner of the Lakers-Clippers showdown, but Brice Johnson stole the show after he spun off the No. 2 pick and posterized two defenders in one play.

On ESPN...@bjohnson_23 throws down the SLAM! #NBASummer http://pic.twitter.com/peyzSoZC43

— NBA (@NBA) July 8, 2017

Johnson scored 23 points on 10-of-15 shooting to lead the Clippers to a three-point win over the favored Lakers. He had some help, too.

Rookie Sindarius Thornwell got to the line 18 times, making 14 of his attempts, to finish with a game-high 26 points. Patrick Beverley approved, so he must be in good company.

Safe to say @patbev21 approved of @Sin_City_803's play tonight.#SummertimeGrind http://pic.twitter.com/aXAzmWCVAv

— LA Clippers (@LAClippers) July 8, 2017

Winner: Social Media

Brandon Ingram scored 26 points in the Lakers’ overtime loss to the Clippers, but he nearly got injured on the last play of regulation when he landed awkwardly on his right leg. That prompted team president Magic Johnson to shut it down with no exceptions.

Here at SB Nation, we like to have fun with situations like these. For example:

The Bulls exist to make their fans miserable

We give our snap reactions to the Jimmy Butler trade and everything else that happened on draft night.

Poor Bulls fans. Jimmy Butler is in Minnesota now, and the Bulls don’t have any star talent to show for it, unless you really love Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn, and/or Lauri Markkanen.

The Timberwolves, on the other hand, are super interesting, but there are a lot of questions about how Butler fits in. Still a no-brainer trade, though.

In this special podcast, a bunch of us — Tyler Tynes, Ricky O’Donnell, Tim Cato, Whitney Medworth, Kristian Winfield, and Mike Prada -- give our snap reactions to a fascinating draft night. Among the topics discussed:

Ricky, a Bulls fan, gets some things off his chest.

How will the new Timberwolves mesh? Will Butler clash with Karl-Anthony Towns personality-wise? Is this deal good or bad news for Andrew Wiggins?

Tyler and Tim gush about Dennis Smith Jr. to the Mavericks for a while.

Did the Pacers miss an opportunity to trade Paul George and rip the Band-Aid off?

Did the Celtics make a mistake passing on Markelle Fultz? Or, is taking Jayson Tatum and collecting more assets part of a grand plan?

How good will the 76ers be next season with Fultz in tow?

What else stood out? Did the Hornets get a steal with Malik Monk? (We all think so).

Speaking of which: the Miami Heat are now the No. 8 seed in the East. Unbelievable.

Kristian Winfield on the Lakers' unabashed and indisputably smart (if hypocritical) tank job.

Watch Gregg Popovich yell at Kawhi Leonard and then watch Kawhi Leonard destroy Noah Vonleh.

Minor league baseball don't get all of the fun. The D-League's Delaware 87ers are wearing uniforms inspired by the Pink Power Ranger.

John Wall gets a lot of steals simply because he hustles after loose balls. Also, Marc Spears got him to open up about his relationship with Bradley Beal.

What if Russell Westbrook is actually a really good teammate?

Matt Moore has 17 questions to ask yourself before picking an MVP.

I, for one, do not want to watch a Charles Barkley vs. LaVar Ball 1-on-1 game. I think TNT's social folks handled this pretty well. By the way, I enjoyed Zito Madu's take that LaVar Ball is actually a good sports dad. In that spirit, I'd like to declare that my 7-year-old is better than Carli Lloyd and Alex Morgan. Put my daughter on the U.S. women's national team and Carli on the Blue Dragons and see what happens!

The Spurs are still getting open shots off of the Hammer play.
