if you're gonna post don't make it more than one gif at a time, do not want the page to take forever to load because of a billion gifs. basically a footwork appreciation thread.
let me start off with the master:

the other master...

just your center facing up from the three point line and faking the hell out of the defenders to split a double team

He never lifts his pivot foot.
on second thought, it looks like he does lift his right leg before the ball is out of his hands

Yeah and he still kicked the Celtics ass.
BTW Olajuwon had great footwork but took 3 or 4 steps very often. Like literally 10-15 times per game. But he knew he could get away with it so he kept doing it.

Travel - dragged his pivot foot clearly.
But yeah he was the master this is just a bad example.

Kobe has the best footwork I have seen in 30 years.

I agree, it's a travel.
Dwyane Wade gif coming, guy has brilliant footwork.

That Olajuwon .gif isn't a travel.
this is like 2006 Duncan. still in his prime but not quite at his "peak" agility/quickness wise

[quote=Scoooter]That Olajuwon .gif isn't a travel.[/quote]
Not called one in the NBA but technically it is.
He takes 2.5 steps minimum, possibly 3 (its borderline).

Against 76er C-webb so doesnt count :cheers:
j/k
He had elite footwork from his first season.

G-Train, you been drinking tonight bro? How can you take 2.5 steps?
[quote=Bogus_Sting]G-Train, you been drinking tonight bro? How can you take 2.5 steps?[/quote]
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.

lol @ pedantic people complaining about a 1 inch slide of the pivot foot or maybe an extra half step. like that's ever called or even possible to tell in real time. if the other team isn't complaining/doesn't see it, i'm not going to either.
anyways...

pedantic/purist... its a grey area. Wade frequently does the above Kobe turnaround move as well.

I love this step through move. You have to be so quick and fluid to pull it off.

:applause: :applause: :applause:
I'd walk off the court in embarassment if I ever got faked that hard. Some of these gifs are ridiculous.
More gifs please...
Any Steve Nash gifs? :rockon:
