The Cold Hearts and Real Wild Energy from Overtime basketball faced off last night at the OTE Arena. It was a smooth victory for the Cold Hearts, but Peyton Marshall was the man who stole the show.
During the 3rd quarter, as Daquan Davis of RWE charged inside the ring, Marshall pulled off one of the most audacious blocks in basketball. He stood tall, arm stretched up, and rudely denied Davis a chance!

Uploaded on X, the video has generated a great buzz online. It had over 3.8 million views, and users cannot get enough of the cold move. The commentators in the video were in absolute awe of the move he pulled.
Daquan Davis made his way through to the right side of the ring using his quick feet but fell short on the last hurdle. It was all due to Peyton Marshall’s brilliance, who blocked the shot with ease and forced Davis to the floor.
The commentators sang songs of praise and laughed in disbelief! They could not believe what they just saw. It was an act of sporting brilliance, but there was more to come. Not only that, his shrewd awareness of the game was also commendable. With the ball still in play, he tossed it to Davis, who was out of play. An extremely smart move and Marshall jogged across the basketball court with a cheeky smile.
