you have to go up with the ball following the two steps. That's a clear travel, but I guess not too egregious by NBA standards.

I don't think that's ever been a travel. :ehh:



NBA.com - NBA’s Misunderstood Rules

" When ending his dribble a player may use a two count rhythm in coming to a stop, passing or shooting. "


If it is a travel by rule, it never gets called:skip:

If you think this Hakeem move and the Wade move are the same, I don't know what to tell you. Just....look again I guess.

:dwillhuh:

Maybe ya'll need to see a slowed down version of the video in OP


Hakeem took two steps after picking up his dribble, then utilized his (left) pivot foot..slow the video down and count if you can't see it.

Wade took two steps after picking up his dribble, then utilized his (left) pivot foot

Nah. In the NBA you're only allowed two steps on a drive....You aren't supposed to be able to take two steps, stop and pivot lol

Allowing the pivot essentially allows a third step.
Thank you for educating them.
smh at bums coming in the coliseum and not knowing the rules to sports. Youre basically women

Hakeem took zero steps after he picked up his dribble. He gathered the ball with BOTH feet in the air, landed on his right, and kept it on the ground until he shot.

Wade gathered the ball in the air, went right-left-right before stopping, pivoting away and shooting.

Your last dribble isn't where you pick your dribble up. It's the moment you can't legally dribble any longer.
