THE STEP-BACK BY JAMES HARDEN IS A TRAVEL

[stepbackj34spud]

That's why the step back is Paul Pierce's move and not garbage ass Harden's.

You can't push off one foot then not land on the other two feet simultaneously. Smfh.

They only call travels and carries if you play for the knicks.

Try counting the uncalled travels in a current NBA game. It's unreal

OP thinks Hakeem's dream shake was 5 steps.

They aren't going to call this in the NBA. They only call it on the lower levels to keep they game watchable. Game would be And 1 mixtape status due to differences in talent.

Hakeems pivot foot was always on fleek, these new dudes jumping all over the place like

Harden did the same move at the Olympics, didn't get called for a travel.


That Harden step back is something he got from Manu, who used that in international play....not a travel.

Exactly, shyt was popularized by Manu who used to do that shyt in the Euroleague.




People keep saying it's the NBA letting them do it, meanwhile it's all over international play Honestly, a lot of the herky jerky shyt we see from dudes is cause of Manu



I honestly think it's cause Harden is a leftie and people have trouble seeing it done with the odd foot, cause these the same dudes that say he travels on layups cause he jumps off his right foot...which is what all lefties do.

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

i just assume the nba doesn't call traveling or carrying anymore...

which might be a good thing...cause if they called both virtually every nba possession would end in a turnover...

College basketball players try to emulate that shyt and get called for it. shyt ruined college basketball cuz of the constant whistles

 

[Sauce Dab]

That's not a travel. But I see how OP is saying that. On that James Harden move he does sometimes travel though because his pivot foot slides but not that time. That's just a gather step
