    Default Re: sprinting down the open court, are you allowed 2 full steps between each dribble?

    I remember Scottie Pippen used to get away with taking three steps to the basket all the time in the 90s.

    Taller players with fast strides can't really do anything about it, for them the time it takes for the ball to leave their hand bounce off the court and get back is longer. Simple physics I'd say.

    you can take 10 steps if you want as long as you never carry or palm the ball. it has to be in constant dribbling motion. players like d rose are good at pushing the limits of how long the ball can be in their palm or on the up dribble, then releasing the ball right before it can be called a carry
