It's not a travel. To everyone thinking his left foot is the pivot foot is wrong! The pivot foot is the foot that coincides when you GATHER the ball. Example is the euro step, wherein you take two steps sideways after you GATHER the ball. Kobe gathers the ball as he's going between the two defenders, so his right foot, the foot that's stepping between the two defenders is the pivot foot.
@musiqman0709 You're not watching what Kobe does in this video. His first step is when he has his back against his defender, his second step is when he starts to spin around the defender; however, when you see a third step it isn't considered a step unless you pick up your foot after the second step, therefore his established pivot foot is his second step. If you jump with your second step it's not a travel, which is what you see in this video. Keep reading the rules Mr. 14 year old.
@j03y2fly When he turns with his back toward the defender, he establishes his pivot foot (left). He then spins and picks up his left foot to take the teardrop shot, which is traveling.
@musiqman0709 When he turns that's his first step...you don't have to drive straight for the two-step rule to come into play. Ever seen a euro step? This is the same concept except he starts his first step with a spin. If he wasn't driving to the rim, his first stop after dribbling would be his pivot, but that isn't the case.
@j03y2fly This isn't a euro step though. This is a spin move which leads into a travel. Once he spins he uses his left foot to turn 180 degrees and picks up his left foot again to step forward and take the shot.
DRIBBLE, PICKS UP DRIBBLE AS HE DOES THE SPIN MOVE AND AS HE DOES IT HIS RIGHT FOOT IS HIS PIVOT AND AFTER THAT HE IS ALLOWED ONE STEP AND HE DOES SO WITH HIS LEFT FOOT. READ THE RULEBOOK
How the fk did he travel he still had the ball dribbling then spun and he used his right foot to pivot obviously you ppl that said he traveled dont know shit about basketball
I dont think Wade's cocky. Kobe is cocky but He has every right to be he's the best player since Jordan. Fuck all the hype around these other players. oh yea and Kobe hardly ever Travels . He has amazing footwork
still doesnt change the fact ..besides jordan is around the same height and had speed and grace...lebron is another one that doesnt have that grace hes all power..style goes a long way ..and wade looks slick out there all these other guys look sloppy
initially it looked like a travel but after some stop starting you can see that it's not. it looks like he shuffles his original pivot foot (left foot) but he doesn't. as kobe would say, "pusi kurac!"
i dont get why dumbass ppl call this a travel common its not even close to a freaking travel, and its probably the same idiots who defend lebron james when he does travel
he planted his foot spun planted again and took another step thats three big deal nobody fucking called it - retard dont talk about something YOU obviously know nothing about
ok lets be honest, that will never be a travel in the NBA, and who would watch the NBA if that was a travel, all the exciting plays involve traveling in some way, dont hate and appreciate that was a great move
demek420, read the last sentence: I told "KOBE MVP..." so official rules basketball are different from nba athletics"...learn to read and don't insult
According the official basketball rules, kobe travel here. He stop to playball when the pivot is the left foot, then he take one step with right foot (regular until here), and he travel when he lift up the pivot and get back it on ground to shoot. Traveling for rules, but not for nba.However, Kobe MVP
Appreciate Kobe Bryant, for there won't be another superathlete like him. A Dominant Perimeter scorer. The will to win. The records broken. The sexual assault case. To the 81 point game. From 8 to 24. The becoming of the old and wise. The humble beggining. To getting choked by Raja Bell. To Bynum To Gasol To Odom. The road to the Championship now.
thi9s is no travel. wade travels because he takes an extra step with the right foot. if you notice kobe never comes down with the right foot he goes up off of his left. thats the difference
nice shot.. Wades got nothing on KOBE. I hate Wade...hes too cocky and hes not better than kobe. He has potential and talent.... BUT HES NOT BETTER THAN KOBE. For all you people out there who hate kobe.. u have to admit one thing....hes a great player..
@naruxhinatreyy Well I don't think Kobe has had so much help from the refs in the finals, Wade averaged over 16 free throws per game in the finals. In two games he got over 20 free throws. Kobe averaged 8.5 free throws in the 2010 finals, which was against Boston, a very physical team.
@brownpakipimp cocky? how is wade cocky? the only thing kobe does is be cocky after he makes an amazing play. Why do you think everyone appreciated MJ for playing while the no one appreciated Kobe? Talk about Kobe, hes the villain in philadelphia
@brownpakipimp Wade is way better than kobe when they face each other its the truth kid but I like kobe too He is my inspiration! He is very smart player
@brownpakipimp Kobe more cocky than D Wade before he even got to the league he thought he was the best while on the other hand D wade is FAR better but hes just under looked.
@KilledInAsia lol that has nothing to do with cockiness. that could easily be a facade, and i'd love to see an article of him actually donating "millions" to charities
