⭐ OFFICIAL 2020-2021 NBA Off-Season Thread: Olympics begin 7/23; NBA Draft 7/29⭐

Yes he did. It was very close tho so I'd let it slide. Somewhat like the grey area surrounding gather steps. If someone got picky and called it travel to I wouldn't be mad. I do get mad at the rampant travels called out of the triple threat. They even called it on LeBron twice the other night which was shocking.

(NOt talking DOWN to you so please don't take it as such)

I think my confusion with you is how you don't seem to realize that, "The lifting of the pivot foot" takes place in ALL of these situations

Up and Under
Driving Layup
Euro
The Dirk One Legged Post Fade
Side Step
Step Back

dame a couple years too late with the shoe release
russ and pg aren't even on the squad anymore

 

[206to813]

The other examples y'all post aren't even close. People taking a FULL STRIDE step.
It's like comparing an Iverson crossover to a hotsauce crossover. One can slide, the other is the electric slide.

Wait what lol
If they take a full, long stride in one step or a regular or short step, either way, it’s one step

 

[DCAllAfrican]

He took a step to shoot. Don’t need to dribble to shoot. Just like layups where guys catch and take 2 steps without dribbling.

You are leaving a key piece of the rule out.

All catches aren't created equal.

You aren't wrong, I just don't view it exactly as black and white as that. Think bumping in the post. It comes a point where the line has to be drawn from what's a bump to what's a foul.
It's not an exact/ black and white call like stepping out of bounds or something. That's black and white.

This is another one that looks a little awkward so understand why some people might initially call it a travel.

Travel?

Travel?

First one OBVIOUS travel. Son did a step back then a step forward.
Second one is close. I could see it going both ways.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

You aren't wrong, I just don't view it exactly as black and white as that.

A step is a Step.

Direction doesn't matter.
Length doesn't matter.
The height your knee reaches in the air doesn't matter.

A Step is a Step.

There is no "Grey area" there.

Again, you are creating that.

Are you paying attention to his PIVOT foot?

Just know I'll bust all y'all *** on the court, thank you for joining my Ted talk.

Again, you are missing the fact that not all catches are created equal.

That kuz joint is comical in slow motion.

This morning has already been rough bros. Shed more than a few tears watching tribute videos and every time I see him and Gigi; I just get heartbroken all over again. It still seems incomprehensible to me that they're gone. I'll never forget that day as long as I live. Felt gutted then and just had transitioned to emptiness now. I'm hoping at some point the grief will end and the process of healing can began for myself and a lot of us who feel the same way, but it's going to be a journey.

I was going to send his last game shoes off to get autographed as a birthday gift to myself last year a couple days before his passing. Sadly that won't be possible anymore; I've kept them in the box for almost 5 years now, figured today would be my small way to honor his and Gigi's memory.

Y'all be well today. Rest in Power Bean, Gigi and all the other victims of that horrific tragedy.

3.5 BILLION years ago. Got damn that’s truly mind boggling

yall think this current civilization is one of the last civilizations on earth? Or y’all think earth will survive at least a few hundreds more years?

I just wish that my two favorite NTers in the world sooperhooper and DCAllAfrican would get along and focus on their shared values and helping me to stop the NT steal. jrose5 is the rightful moderator of this site but Meth and Rusty stole it from him.

nah. I only think about this stuff when I’m high on edibles. I’m not currently high but it was a thought I had when I took a Sativa a few nights ago.

thought about earth’s existence and how far we as a planet have left. Also felt extremely passionate about sea animals and thought about dedicating my entire life to free sea animals from Seaworld and the aquarium until I sobered up

So how much longer do you think we got? I think 3.5 billion more should be cake

Is Dame the only superstar with a shoe to celebrate passing the first round?

How about losing in the first round

 

[shotsrangout]

This man bron getting better with age. Like a fine wine.


That fadeaway deep 2 pointer is one of the most unguardable shots in the god damn game.
