ok, than you´ll have a travel-call on almost each lay-up or dunk. I cannot believe, that this action is a legal play in the FIBA-rules but not in the NBA.

where is it written, that you must lift both feet at the same time? it´s only written, that the pivot-foot may be lifted not be returned to the floor until the ball is released from the hands for a shot or a pass.

[23jamesdixon]

yes it is a travel. for it not to be a travel he would have to lift both feet at the same time.

this rule: "If a player, with the ball in his possession, raises his pivot foot off the floor, he must pass or shoot before his pivot foot returns to the floor. If he drops the ball while in the air, he may not be the first to touch the ball." is assuming he is jumping off of two feet... note how it also doesnt say that the player cannot hop along the floor to keep the pivot up either.. same thing

[johneharris85]

@23jamesdixon your interpretation makes a layup a travel. Look at the layup footwork and compare it to this. They're exactly the same.

[23jamesdixon]

@johneharris85 its different on a layup because the player is moving. you can see this same call a lot when players do an up and under move in the post and (as part of their jump) lift the pivot before lifting the other foot. gotta lift them both at the same time or pivot first for it to not be a travel.

[doublefist1983]

right, that´s NO travel. the release of the ball is before his right (pivot-)foot touches the floor again.

[johneharris85]

This is not travelling AT ALL.

From the NBA rulebook:

"g. If a player, with the ball in his possession, raises his pivot foot off the floor, he must pass or shoot before his pivot foot returns to the floor. If he drops the ball while in the air, he may not be the first to touch the ball."

[teholdsedare]

Wait... so he Pivots on his right... and does a complete 360 with his right foot as his pivot... steps forward with his LEFT FOOT AND JUMPS OFF OF HIS LEFT FOOT...

What did I miss?

NOTHING.

Great shot.

GO BLAZERS

[freelanc3r13]

@teholdsedare

The problem is he lifts his right foot before he jumps off the left, meaning he's changed pivot foots

[teholdsedare]

@freelanc3r13

Or you could call it he jumped? he never recontacted the ground with his right foot after stepping through the defenders. AKA He never reestablished a left pivot, he jumped. Turning on one foot does not constitute a pivot unless he touches the ground with the opposite foot.

[peenutbutta21]

lol your funny, do you not like D Will or something? Because every single player in the nba travels, do some videos on Lebron or Wade or even Rondo.

[freelanc3r13]

@peenutbutta21

He does, look at his other videos

[MrJaviiPR]
