Olympics took the steam off but after KD, Bron, and Curry gone this is what’s left
And really KD, Bron, and Curry are 80's babies.They got some 80's/90's residue on them.They're the seeds of that generation.Absorbed it in the atmosphere as embryo's, toddler's, and adolescence.These 2000 babies about to have the US falling off.They can do all the fancy dribbling, step back 3's they want...

This shyt is gassed & ready to over-inflate till it goes Pop.Grown men missing.It's a band of boys now.Boy band era.New kids on the block, but I can't get in sync with them.

shyt, that highlight was beautiful and shots like that are created today. Good looking jumper form also.

Idk man, a lot of the shyt nikkas do today would probably not be a travel, no official rules really state clearly what's allowed (as far as I know. If you have a link to the written rule and how it was changed in the rule books, that would help this conversation).
good footwork too. is that jerry west or maravich?

Hell naw lol. That nikka pivot changed 4 times.

That's DEFINITELY a clear travel. Most of the time he only used the first 2 steps. This one was a travel for sure.

That one was a missed call by the ref imo. I recall that one or another very similar/more egregious one early in the season (had to have been around 2017) when he was still getting the timing right on the move. Once he nailed it consistently, it was the gather stepback you now see Tatum, Maxey, Luka, and damn near all guards do in 2024. But at the time all renditions of it were controversial.

Another one he pioneered but messes up the timing a lot was the gather euro. Giannis has become the poster-boy for that move now. Speaking of the euro step, 10-12 years ago CP3 said he never heard of nor did a eurostep when he was in high school/college but like wild fire it became a thing in the league and was amazed that kids were now doing it easily. So natural evolution, certain movies just need 1 or 2 pioneers and it becomes an essential skill.

Nah. Or rather the one you see today is what he pioneered back then but he was also fukking it up a lot early.

Coli was claiming both were travels tho. Same with the gather euro, which a lot of times he still fukks up on
