U TRY SO HARD
AS I SAID WIT THE STEPH VIDEO U POSTED, THE KOBE GIF IS DIFFERENT, BECAUSE HE'S MID-DRIBBLE AS HE'S TAKING THAT FIRST STEP BACK
THE LEBRON VIDEO U POSTED IS OK BECAUSE HE LANDS ON BOTH FEET. IMAGINE IF HE HOPPED OFF ONE FOOT AND THEN TOOK TWO MORE STEPS THAT IS WHAT HARDEN DOES
THE FIRST HOP BACK IS A STEP .. ITS EXACTLY THE SAME THING AS THE FIRST STEP OF A EUROSTEP.
U CAN HOP OFF ONE FOOT AND HOP OFF ANOTHER AS UR GOIN UP... BUT AFTER UR SECOND HOP, U CANOT LAND WITH THE BALL OR ESTABLISH ANOTHER STEP
GRADE SCHOOL SHIIT
It's the exact same move Harden does
So Kobe's is fine, even though it's gather + 1-2, but Harden's isn't because it's gather + 1-2.
You caught in a box right now
PS. First Clip is Tmac doing a step back into a pivot......which is what @Bilz asked you
Yes the step or "hop" as you're calling it is a step. The next step is also a step. That's two steps.
You don't like the size of his step, I get it. You want to apply the Allen Iverson hop step rules because the intent is the same but since that specifically prohibits hopping of one foot and then landing again on that foot, the wording doesn't capture it.
Face it, he's jewing the system
NOPE .. IN THE VIDEOS I POSTED, HARDEN IS NOT IN THE MIDST OF HIS DRIBBLE WHEN HE JUMPS BACK ALA KOBE AND STEPH
TMAC WAS ALSO MID DRIBBLE IN THAT CLIP U JUS POSTED
ITS NOT THE SAME .. LOOK AT THE OP VIDEO. HARDEN ALREADY HAS THE DRIBBLE COMPLETELY PICKED UP WHEN HE TAKES THAT FIRST STEP BACK=NOT LEGAL
That...is....called....the....gather.....step.....
NO
ITS
NOT
U POSTED A VIDEO OF LEBRON DOIN A HOP-STOP N ITS THE SAME THING, ONLY GOIN FORWARD INSTEAD OF BACK
U UNINTENTIONALLY SHIITED ON YASELF BY DOIN THAT
ASK YOURSELF, IS HE USING THE STEP TO GATHER HIMSELF OR IS HE USIN THE STEP TO JUMP BACK IN ORDER TO CREATE SPACE? .. THIS IS BEYOND BASKETBALL RULES, ITS BASIC ENGLISH
So did Steve Nash, so does Stephen Curry, so did Allen Iverson, so did Stephon Marbury...yea, it is...he also carries most the time he dribbles, so did chauncey billups....but if they aint gonna call it, the players gonna do it....
KG used to change his pivot foot when he would do that little turn around jumper of his
Refs never called that shyt lol
U right but I used to hate that shyt!!!! LolI know exactly what you're talking about and that wasn't a travel
He'd go into a spin move and pick up the ball with his back to the rim and both feet set, with a live dribble his pivot isn't established at that point which is why he could go either direction. McHale taught him that move........
