This right here shows why the NBA has become a joke

[BlackMamba8]

How dumb is everyone in this thread? That step is legal in NBA/FIBA rules, go read and come back to me. ****ING PEASANT

The joke is OP's Lakers Legend alt who's obsessed with Chewing and follows him around like a lost puppy.

I don’t give a damn what semantics games with gathers and step thrus MF’s wanna try to convince people of. If a n!gga tries this in a pick up game, I’m calling a travel. And if he argues instead of concedes, IF IT’S HIS BALL, I am punting that shit onto the nearest roof or into a yard with a very angry dog.

Youre letting your inner Westbrook lack of impulse control take ahold of you with this. Somebody check this guy's ears.

You old heads just never understood the game properly. This has always been in the rules. He clearly doesn't gather it until he is squared up facing the basket so it's a zero step up until then and then he checks his bags with the conciere and it's a very simple one-two step-through after that. Completely legal. This is why today's era is more skilled than any other era, Imagine this shit in Mike Jordans era, the crude defenses back then wouldn't even know what hit em.

You're totally deluded.
