that y u dont play basketball. everything was done simultaneously. u wont make it as a ref too. how the hell the ref goin see every little detail call for replay. stay hatin my man. kobe is going for 6
when you do a hopstep or a step back and you land simultaneously with both feet, then you can choose which is your pivot foot. however if you land on one foot then whatever foot that is, thats automatically your pivot foot. he landed on his left then his right. so by definition of the rules his left was his pivot. traveling occurs when a player lifts there pivot foot. argue that. call me a hater all you want or that im dumb but its written in the NBA rules which i have read.
@thechido but there also a definition of good sense, in a game if u look closely it's nearly impossible to land at the exactly same time, in normal pace u barely see the difference so it's considered simultaneously foot land. If u look at the closer details all plays would have something illegal. It's a legal play since the time between the foot landing is almost invisible in normal motion. Everyone here just saw a travel cauz it was in slow motion.
@CkBalantines you are absolutely correct. good rebuttal. but like you said, its in slow motion so everyone saw the travel. i was merely pointing out the reason why it's a travel.
Haha !!! When I first saw this , I was like damn Kobe has great foot work but when I watched the replay then I realized what the thell ?
He changed pivot after a fake step back jumper so I figured maybe this is allowed or you could be right here. He simply got away here with a travel as the move was probably too fast for the referees to make a call plus THIS IS KOBE BRYANT we are talking about !!! Ginobili simply got robbed here
Obvious travel... don't get how you dont see that he lands on his left foot first!!! then he gets his right foot next to it and its quite noticeable at normal speed!!! then he makes the fake shot and "shuflles both feet" (actually lifts left one, wich was his pivot ppl!)
@Isaachtft wow havnt heard that one before. Just cause you're a hater doesnt mean you shouldnt be able to enjoy watching a spectacular player. It's clearly not a travel, he sets his right foot as pivot and jumps off both feet, feel free to try and argue that...
I see what your saying, but in fast mo it definitely appears that when he takes the step back that he lands on 2 feet and not just 1 which is probably why there was a no call
not a travel dumbass...he didn't establish pivot after the stepback so he could use either foot...i hate kobe...i think he's a rapist but any retard can see it's not a travel
Its a crappy move because it breaks the basketball laws of physics! lol. NBA would be much better to watch if the ref's called these kinds of things. Thats why I watch College BBall more then NBA.
Also im a lakers fan so dont think I hate Kobe or nothing.
@hOtSaUz3 Nanh, Ginobili got robbed here as I had said before. This is clearly a travelling violation but most Kobe's dick riders will simply not be able to see that.
I find it funny how people can comment on what's a travel or not when they have no qualifications to become a referee, nor do they know what the rules are in the nba rulebook. This makes me laugh everytime.
I wish i could go into detail about how kobes pivot foot should be in Africa or how jumping with both feet is cooler than a polar bear playing cards, but its a god damn video, not a forum about the rules of basketball
@iLuminuminate Everyday..Its Not..Look Super Close..The "Shuffle" Is A Slight Movement Where His Feet Still Never Leave The Ground..And Left Foot Never Became Pivot Because Only One Foot Was On The Ground From The Step Back. Then When Both Feet Landed He Made His Right Foot Become The Pivot.
lol wen i play basketball and shoot a 3 pointer i scream KOBE, wen i play baseball and hit a single i scream KOBE and even wen i play soccer and score a goal i scream KOBE
@ImadoggyDogg Dont feel bad all the people who are talking shit either only know kobe and noone else or just dont play or know the sport, I agree with you that was an obvious travel.
i hate how everyone said kobe has 5 rings and lebron has 0.kobe didnt win then by himself???he had a great tim to help him.lebrons was in cleavland for 7 years.no wonder he didnt win a championship.yeah he shouldve won with the heat this year but o well.he has still has at least 6 productive years left,and wade had like 5.so stfu.he'll get rings
I'm saying that Michael Jordan also had help too. If he didn't have Pippen, Rodman, Harper, Kerr, and the rest of the supporting cast then he would probably would have never won a ring.
@JZumaya56 o haha yeah i totally agree.he woulda been a great player.but ppl act like jordan did it all by himself.and they act like kobe did it all by himself.kobe haad shaq for 3 championships and jordan had pippen
@JZumaya56 ik jordan is the best ever.and kobe is one of the best.i just hate how ppl hate on lebron.like hes amazing if u dont think he is ur dumb.so he didnt win this year.hes gonna win.him and wade have at least 5 good years left
REALLY DUDE??? This is what you do in your spare time huh, hate on Kobe? He got away with one it happens. And judging by the score,quarter, and time it probably wasn't the make or break call for San Antonio. If Kobe, Lebron, Wade get away with a travel here and there, who cares they deserve it. Think of it as earning a nuke in Call of Duty.
That's a total travel. They teach you that as a child when you first start basketball lol. He should have been called when he put his left foot down before the shot but that's what happens when you have 60 year old refs. lol. Travel for sure but he's still a good player, everyone makes mistakes.
@DistrictOfColumbian Robert Horry has 7 rings. Kobe has 5. What's your point? Rings don't make one player better than another. In that case, is derrick fisher better than karl malone? Is Luke Walton better than Lebron?
@deadlyshooter2031 THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. TAKE ROBERT HORRY OF THE LAKERS, SPURS AND WHATEVER TEAM HE IS ON THEY STILL PROBABLY WIN. TAKE KOBE OFF LAKERS...... WELL THEY DONT EVEN MAKE THE PLAYOFFS.
@DistrictOfColumbian 3 as a sidekick, 2 with the most stacked team in the NBA. All 5 with the greatest coach in North American sports history. Please Kobe's career has been gift wrapped; put him on the 91' Bulls or the 07' Cavs, and switch him out for MJ/LeBron, Kobe wouldn't even get out of the first round. 2 finals MVP's in 7 tries won't get you into the Top 10.
@Pandeezys2iLL MJ was better than Kobe, but Lebron is no where close. Basketball is a team sport, so it's a fact that there were other good players on every team that has won the title. Lebron also had the most stacked team in the NBA, and he failed to even perform well in the finals. Kobe is easily the best player since MJ retired. His only real competition would be Shaq, but Kobe has been better than Shaq since Shaq left LA.
@Pandeezys2iLL LOL SHAQ SAID HE COULDNT WIN WITHOUT KOBE, KOBE SAID HE COULDNT WIN WITHOUT SHAQ. SO THERE IS NO SIDEKICK. KOBE BRYANT IS THE GREATEST NBA PLAYER SINCE MICHAEL JORDAN.
@KiyaWarrior dumbass lebum had his team this year and still couldn't win LOL. for gods sake he had what most call the 2nd best player in the nba in Wade or atealst top 5... then Bosh is a solid all star.
@KiyaWarrior HE IS EASILY THE BEST PLAYER SINCE MICHAEL JORDAN. HE IS THE MAIN REASON HE WON THEM. HIS PRESENCE ALONE CREATES OPPURTUNITIES FOR HIS TEAMMATES AND HIS KILLER INSTINCT IN THE CLUTCH.
@reneperezz and lebron did the same thing against the knicks and was called for traveling, kobe does it and gets away with it. ANd then dumbass fans call it a sweet move
after his stepback, which is considered a hop step, he still has his pivot. he doesn't establish a pivot foot until he shifts his left foot, which establishes his right foot as his pivot foot. he then lifts his right foot when he goes up for the shot, so i don't see the travel unless you think he shouldn't get a pivot after his stepback.
@vietiscool Nah first of all for it to be a hop step, Kobe has to land on both feet at once. Even at normal speed you can see that Kobe steps back and lands left foot, then right foot. Let's say he landed both at once.. since he dribbled, picked up his dribble then stepped back, he has no pivot foot. He would have to pick up his dribble mid-air after pushing off his foot for the stepback to have a pivot.. but here he dribbled, picked it up, then pushed back. After that, he shuffled for a travel
thank you clearly a travel no hate on kobe intended cause i mean it happens to the best players especially cause he gets this move multiple times hes bound to have to mess up a bit haha too many kobe dickriders cant make a straight call
Yes, it was a travel because he didn't land both feet (not a hop step). But after actual hop steps you still have a pivot foot, which is why people do that on layups. Hop step, then a step (pivot), then they jump off that leg
