Kevon Looney channels his inner Matt Murdock as he saves reporter from being hit by a ball

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney channeled his inner Matt Murdock, displaying excellent reflexes to save a reporter ahead of the Bucks-Warriors game on Tuesday. The 29-year-old was being interviewed when a ball came flying toward the reporter.

Looney instantly removed his hands from his pockets and swatted the ball away. His reflexes compared to that of Matt Murdock, A.KA. Daredevil. Murdock has incredible reflexes and a radar sense that allows him to detect and react to the slightest movements almost instantly. His heightened senses are the result of his blindness.

Check out this clip of Looney saving the reporter ahead of the tip-off:

The Warriors defeated the Bucks 104-93 with Stephen Curry sitting on the sidelines. Jimmy Butler led the charge for the Dubs, recording 24 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in the winning effort.

Kevon Looney, who went viral for his save before the game, had a quiet night. He saw just six minutes of action and finished his night with one rebound.

The Warriors (40-29) made up for their loss against the Denver Nuggets and are now half a game ahead of the Timberwolves in seventh (40-30). With 13 games to go, it’ll be interesting to see where Golden State ends up in the Western Conference.
