[QUOTE=G-train]Nah, half a step is an old school term in bball coaching, when you pick up the ball as you step. Its not a defined pick up dribble [I]then [/I]2 steps, its when you are taking a step and pick up the ball at the same time, then take another 2 steps. Its a travel technically but happens all the time in the NBA.[/QUOTE]
He makes a jumpstop, pivots, and then lays it in. It's not even close to a travel. That wouldn't be called in any league.

Oh my.
Somebody please make some Paul Pierce gifs. He doesnt get mentioned often enough when it comes to footwork.
Pierce isn't quick at all, but has always been very deceptive and great at creating space and getting to the rim.

Reverse pivot--favorite move of his. Been trying this for a couple years now and it still looks mad sloppy lol.
:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: @ the Hakeem gifs and the one with Kobe in the USA game
Some prime Shaq gifs would be nice imo
[QUOTE=G-train]Kobe has the best footwork I have seen in 30 years.[/QUOTE]
Really? :wtf: I have seen better, plenty.

Watch the two dumb people in the stands (white t-shirts) motion for a traveling charge.
:facepalm
So many idiot fans don't know the rules of the game.

would trip over and fall if i tried this on the fly
One thing Hakeem and Kobe have in common: played a lot of soccer as kids... I believe it helps, speaking from experience (I'm British and played soccer almost daily before eventually playing basketball daily in my teens).

Helped me too ...
that fake spin was so damn quick in the early 90s, rodman does a good job recovering but he was lost for a minute

Clearly this dude doesn't understand or play ball.
This is a travel.

Shuffles pivot foot, then switches pivot foot.
[QUOTE=Fatal9]the other master...
[IMG]http://i56.tinypic.com/2nqed4z.jpg[/IMG]
just your center facing up from the three point line and faking the hell out of the defenders to split a double team[/QUOTE]
mmm...it s a travel....
[QUOTE=Funnyfuka]mmm...it s a travel....[/QUOTE]
How is that a travel? He establishes a pivot foot, doesn't move it ... steps through with attack foot (legal) and jumps for a layup. That is completely legal ... some of you really need to learn the game.
[QUOTE=Samurai Swoosh]Clearly this dude doesn't understand or play ball.[/quote]
Was just gonna say the same thing. It's like these guys have never played the game before.
Same with funyfuka... Hakeem's pivot foot is still stationary... [I]not[/I] a travel.
[QUOTE=Phong][IMG]http://nsa24.casimages.com/img/2010/10/20/101020073017274536.gif[/IMG][/QUOTE]

can anyone post a gif of that Kobe move vs Wilson Chandler against the Knicks where he dropped 61?

The only travel in this thread is that LeBron post up from the 1st game of the season v.s. the Celtics.
I actually love threads like these because this stuff interests me more than player a > player b ... bunch of random, useless stats, without context, etc. PER, win shares ... People can be fooled into certain people here actually know what they are talking about IE Indian Guy, etc.
In THESE threads, you really get to understand people who know the game, and play the game.
:facepalm
hakeem's move on robinson. :bowdown:

mj doing it to a great defender :applause:
[QUOTE=NBASTATMAN]THIS ONE IS FUNKY.. Walk in my opinion[/QUOTE]
Nope. Just impeccable foot work. Left foot is pivot foot ... he fakes the defender with up fake, reverse pivot, attack foot step through. Legal.
See thats the problem with a lot of people. If they haven't seen a move before, or it looks illogical, they immedietly cast it off as a travel.
This is just a beautiful move from Kobe.

This one looks like a travel as he switched his pivot foot. I'm not sure if he took 3 steps, though.
Edit: Yep, there was a small step but travels like this will not be called in the NBA. Only the obvious ones.
