You siding with Beasley or Lance? The streets need to know.

Game point for money. You’re the neutral observer they’re letting make the decision. Bucket or travel?

[Kblaze8855]

At some point, we as a society need to decide if the NBA sets rules for basketball being played everywhere. Maybe if the people playing have played in the NBA there’s a better case to be made that they should have NBA rules….but Lance doesn’t seem to agree with the spin gather not counting as a step.

When I was a kid I got called for a travel once in an aau game for picking my back foot up too early driving out of the triple threat position. I watch all these videos of pros doing 100x worse and wonder why they would pick on me for such tiny infraction.

[beasted]

Quite easily a travel.

So imagine the shit I got called for in the 80s and 90s. My cousin‘s neighbor and his dope boy father with a full half court in his backyard had me scared to put the ball on the floor.

For some reason, the NBA decided the highest level of basketball should be the easiest to play in in order to best display the talent of the players. To me, it should be stricter the higher you go, but I suppose there’s an argument that being really strict on kids builds good habits in the developmental stage.

Problem is they let the kids play the easier game now too so they never have anyone teaching them what not to do. They have people teaching them how to bend the rules early so they can outright break them later.

But of course, what Harden said when he was challenged about it in a camp is logical. If the refs aren’t gonna call it, you would be stupid not to do it. It’s only illegal if the whistle blows. There’s no room for feelings. You don’t have to give the ball up because somebody feels it should be whistled. You only have to give it up if it is a whistle. If a refs arent calling it, you’re just hurting your team not to do it.

Whether its beneficial for your team or not its dishonorable and bad karma to play that way. Karma probably hit Harden the hardest.

It was during a filmed workout with Bone collector from and One. He was incorporating some and One moves and a kid said his dad told him that was a travel and he just cut him off like “Did the ref call it?” And kind of shut down the line of questioning

Travel and carry. The carry-rate on EVERY modern players dribble drives me crazy. It's not even real basketball. Palm should never be under the ball during a dribble.

[GOBB]

Not a travel. Look where he gathered the ball. If there was a travel it’s at the beginning of the play. Which no one saw nor is what Lance is claiming the travel came from. Move was clean.

[FilmyCogTurner]

100% travel.

The gather and then two extra steps. No way.

[Real Men Wear Green]

I would like to see the travel rules get stricter. Offense has too many advantages and scoring has gotten too easy.

[Kblaze8855]

100% travel.

The gather and then two extra steps. No way.

Thing is that’s how the nba designed it to work. The gather just doesn’t count at all. People apply the nba rules that make it easier to score but ignore nba rules that are inconvenient on other levels.

[ArbitraryWater]

Def a travel.

The usual suspect is the only one disagreeing

[HylianNightmare]

Clean, dudes working on his game daily. He's a real hooper
