James Harden traveling - So tired of it. Here's proof he travels and it's so simple.

[Nike Air]

When you collect the ball (With 2 hands) - You are not allowed to dribble anymore(Obviously). You have what's called a pivot foot. Now, you can still take 1 step and jump. Correct?

Yet, this guy constantly does a side-step or a step-back and lands with his feet at DIFFERENT TIMES. That's 2 steps. Isn't that a travel?

 

[osh kosh bosh]

You get two steps after the gather,

i don't really understand what the problem is, if you take em back wards, side ways, ect ect. still two steps after the gather step.

 

[youngwolf]

I'm not reading any of that, but **** James Harden.

 

[aepps20]

He definitely travels. He travels to his local gentleman's club to continue his humanitarian work. I am very proud of Jim Harden and salute him for his work in the community.

 

[Retroballer]

It’s funny how many times the NBA has to explain their gather rule, but some guy that plays pick up at the Y says they call it a travel i their games.
plus harden isn’t the only one that does this, he’s just the best at it so people get in all crazy about it.

 

[grittyman]

Still waiting for the proof.

 

[Hahahaha]

Sign me up for anything negative about Harden

HANDSOME

 

[DCAllAfrican]

He disengages his hands from the ball, so many people are prematurely calculating his gather and miscounting his steps.

I don't have a horse in the race but he has simply mastered the rule.

Most fans simply don't know the rules and aren't able to see his technique during game speed.

Also, most fans don't WANT to accept he doesn't travel.


If you go through @devinTheLab. On Twitter's video archive, you will see his breakdowns.

 

[finessesosa]

Lowkey a lot of times he doesnt travel. When he does its blatant but Hardens whole game is based off deception. Once you understand that you'll understand that **** is a skill in its own.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Have you sent this to the NBA? I feel like they need to see this.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Are you counting 2 or 3 steps?

If 3, what are YOU using to determine when the gather Starts?

I am counting 2 steps

I find James Harden to be annoying at this point,

but it's essentially card counting basketball. He has an edge within the rules and he is mercilessly exploiting it.



i can't be mad at him for being extremely good at baiting people into fouls, and his extreme mastery of the traveling rules.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I agree with everything Gil says here.
