Would you have called this act of interfamily abuse a travel?

You waving that off?

[ralph_i_el]

That's close as hell. I'm letting it slide.

[imdaman99]

I've tried this move. Ended up dizzy by the time I got my shot up. Didn't end well for me. But I'm not a world class athlete :lol

[Whoah10115]

I mean, it appears he didn't move his pivot.

[HylianNightmare]

He jumped off both feet simultaneously didnt he?

[Kblaze8855]

He had 52 that game. Really could have been 54. I wouldn’t have called it.

Looks like an initial dribble to setup the move. I think it's legal abuse. Would not wave it off.

[Airupthere]

Would not call it. His pivot was intact and jumped off both legs at the same time for the shot.

[Lion's pride]

:lol:lol

these threads!!

Holy shit Nique nearly had his bro jump out the frame


Slow obscene pivots like that in todays era would get laughed at by defenders and stripped within the 2nd pump fake.

I think it was technically a travel. I think his back foot left the ground first. However something like that rarely gets called.

Totally legal. Pivot foot never moved. Nique was a bad boy. His brother was pretty damn athletic too.

Looks pretty good to me

[tpols]

well you can clearly see his left foot is his pivot foot, and when he jumps he does it simultaneously off two feet... so thats not a travel. in real time though obviously it would be tough to tell since it was such a wild move.

Gerald has been arrested 4 times this year I see. I felt a need to mention that but not to make a new topic on him to do it....




Former New York Knicks guard Gerald Wilkins was reportedly arrested on assault charges Tuesday after a string of arrests over separate incidents earlier this spring.
Wilkins, the younger brother of NBA legend Dominique Wilkins, faces two counts of battery after he was arrested in Cobb County, Georgia, TMZ reported (https://www.tmz.com/2020/08/19/knicks-gerald-wilkins-arrested-alleged-assault/) Wednesday.
The second-round pick has had numerous run-ins with the law lately and was cuffed three times in 10 days (https://nypost.com/2020/06/12/gerald-wilkins-ex-knick-arrested-three-times-in-10-days/) over late May and early June.

He was also charged with simple assault after allegedly pushing a woman after forcing his way into her home on May 31.
Further details on his Tuesday arrest were not immediately clear.

Letting it slide. The only part that is possibly a travel is at the very end, since both his feet don't leave the ground at EXACTLY the same time (hence it constitutes another "step"), but in real time that would be almost impossible to see and the feet leave the ground close enough together so as to be imperceptible. Sick move - had his bro bamboozled lol.
