whoever calls this a travel is retarted. Maybe you guys need to see this in slow mo x-mo or someting. IT IS A STEP BACK, and then from there that is your BASE(Two feet planted). Then you have the option of which is your pivot. Man you dudes need to learn more ball and play it also
when he sets up for the pump fake he drags his right foot causing his pivot foot to be his left. then he switches to the right, so it is technically a travel.
Don't get me wrong i love kobe, but this was a travel
There is no travel...he did a step back...he did the pump fake and till then there was no pivot foot cauze noone moving...after that he moves the left foot amd makes the right foot the pivot... so simple
after i watch this..it is a travel because he crossed him pulled back to his left foot(1st pivot foot) and pump faked and ended up switchin to his right foot(2nd pivot)
Let's think of it this way, if the NBA referees let some travels go, whatever, but this is the NBA youtube channel actively putting this particular play on the internet. Does it make any sense at all that people associated directly with the NBA would put up a video of a great move that was a travel, or a double-dribble, or whatever you fools see here? This is Kobe Bryant, showing his impossibly high basketball IQ, that's all.
since most would plant the first, thats y in this case Kobe is showing his amazing footwork. thats what sepperate him from the rest. you guys dont get it even people in the nba dream for this kind of footwork stop hating on him, if u dont think its considered hating then u simply dont understand the laws and physics to basketball. if you see a travel then your one of the many who simply wearnt blessed with the ability to read and understand whats happening on the court. dont ever be reffs please
listen why would the NBA post this if it was a travel, the nba itself posted this to show off Kobe's incridible foot work, stop calling it a travel. we arent reffs and for this reason is why reffs have to under go (((years))) of training to become a reff. so when it comes to plays like this they can pin-point what happend and make the rite call. nothing was called on the play simply beacause he didnt travel nor was a foul occured. thanks.
i am a big kobe and lebron fan, but to be fair kobe is a million times smarter than lebron, think about it after kobe does the behind the back dribble he pump fakes and goes though for a back, seriously you have less than a second to time all this, and if it was lebron he would just try and go for the dunk/layup straight away. i know these 2 players very well, i watch alot of their games
Well, noob. If you have anything left in that thick headed skull of yours. Maybe you could distinguish the motion that Mr. Bryant hop stepped back and then elected to pivot on his right foot. Have you considered the notion that his flurry of fancy moves simply dazzled you and you lost track of his footwork? It's okay, I'm not mad at the ignorant. It happens.
@slapmyfunkybass actually his rite foot is planted, i believe his on his tip toes its called a great pump fake. just in case u didnt know usually when your in the nba and you try to pump fake with only the ball and your hands it doesnt work lol its called selling the fake.
@slapmyfunkybass this is were i get everyone who says its a travel in the game of basketball, a pivot can only be planted after both feet has hit the ground and then another is raised. unless kobe backsteped with his left and only his left can his left be the pivot. what your telling me is that his rite foot never hit the ground? lol
this is y its not a travel. in the game of basketball in order for a pivot foot to even be set both feet have to be planted at some point then the other is raised. the only way his left could have been his pivot is if he 2 stepped with his left then only his left. you guys are dumb, just becuase his left was planted first doesnt mean that it HAS to be the pivot foot. he could plant either the first foot that was (planted) or the second. Most will plant the 1st thats y it looks akward to most.
@walkingfridge81 it looks like his left would be the pivot foot simply do to his positioning but thats how talented he is. notice how he plants his rite foot on the pump fake and keeps only his rite foot on the groud till the actuall shot is put up.
@walkingfridge81 thats what leaves even the nba's best in utter shock, the ability that kobe contains is one that we have yet to grasp. Dont worry his foot work has had me lost acouple times myself.
@chung0730 at 0:05 you can clearly see that on the step back move, he establishes his left foot as his pivot foot. after his pump fake, he switches his pivot foot on the up and under. i don't know how much clearer i can make this. if you still don't see it, i don't know what else to tell you.
@walkingfridge81 actually his right foot is his pivot foot>>he was going for a step back fadeaway...ginoblli flew in the air>>>kobe moved his left foot as he pivoted his right foot (more on the ball of his foot) and banked it off the glass>>>thats the fundamnetals of the game plus smooth footwork
@walkingfridge81 it was a travel just because Kobe didn't perform it well enough! If his feet had touched the ground simultaneously after the step-back he is allowed to change his pivot.
@walkingfridge81 nop it wasnt a travel. The step back dont count as a pivot foot just cauz he put one less than 1 second before another.He use the right foot as pivot after the stepback for the move. No travel.Only unusual move, so its easy to missunderstood.
@walkingfridge81 it wasnt a travel he steped back form a dribble and pumpfaked he didnt pivot at all and the jumped forward simple round the back step back fake jump forward
@thez1111 please watch the video. look at which foot is his pivot before the pump fake, and then look at which one he uses to step to the basket. its the same one. therefore: travel because he switched his pivot foot.
@walkingfridge81 In the NBA you can choose a pivot foot after you plant your feet, no matter if you landed your left or right first - look it up in the rulebook.In euroball it's different, there your pivot foot is the one you land on the ground first, you can only choose if you land them both in the same time.Also in the NBA, you can lift your pivot foot of the ground before the ball hits the floor, in euro and international ball you can't do that.
I don't think it's travel. Kobe made a crossover move (0:04), then he created space by stepping back, and the ball was still in a dribbling stance (0:05), then he made a pump fake (start 0:06) then the right foot stands as pivot (0:06 end) and he finishes.
Sorry guys, Kobe might look like he travels but in reality, he's just THAT good lol.
Dude, you can clearly see that he travels. His left foot was supposed to be established as his pivot foot yet he lifts it in the midst of the move. He moves both feet during the execution of the move, so which ever you consider to have been his pivot foot, he moved it. That's a travel.
clearly there is no travel there first you cant really tell which is his pivot foot but he uses his right foot i believe he can lift it for the shot....how else do you get a jump shot off ? lol
DUD KOBE FANS ADMIT THIS SHIT IS A FUCKIN TRAVEL.......... HE DIDNT EVEN LAND ON BOTH FEET AFTER HE STEPED BACK....... AND ON 0:06 HE DID AN ILLEGAL SHUFFLE HE MOVED BOTH FOOT EVEN HIS PIVOT FOOT...... IF THIS WAS LEBRON JAMES U WUD ALL BE CALLIN IT A TRAVEL
@jcupsmells1 dud he landed on his left foot at 0:05 -___- that counts as his pivot foot and then he shuffled both foot at 0:06...... that cud already be a travel and him lifting his left foot is also a travel...
thats not a travel cause when he steps back both his feet hit at the same time so he picks up his left and his right only slides a little... his right foot might have hit the ground a little later off the stepback but that will never get called
@cacat10000 That will never be called a travel b/c he didn't take his right leg up and put it down at 0:06. His right foot was the pivot foot there and, if you're talking about the minor movement it had after he faked Ginobili, that's not obvious/big enough to be a travel.
how is that a walk, he steps back by hopping, leaving both pivots available, and after the shot fake he follows through with his left foot making his right foot the pivot one and following through towards the basket..
@Dpfriedman05 No. You can step with the other foot and pick up your pivot foot as long as you don't put your initial pivot foot down before you shoot or pass. No travel.
@Dpfriedman05 what 3 idiots thumbed you up. his right foot is the pivot. you just assume his left was the pivot. he could've used either one. simple fact is he did a stepback and did not move either one so he was free to use either.
Travel... Pivot foot was the left foot and when he moved it for the finishing move, he took 3 steps. And Come on guys, its the NBA, WHO CALLS TRAVELLING?
That's a travel! just take the move step by step - He puts his right foot down to get back, and therefore the left foot is his pivot foot when does the pumpfake. But then he uses the right foot as a pivot foot instead = traveling! Obvious, but still... it's the NBA, and some people have a different rulebook than other players. But as you other guys says... No one is "better" than Mr.Crabdribble ;)
@Tochskotchsmochkoch comon dude, your a disgrace to kobe fans, you dont have to be that insecure that you gota point out lebron on every single kobe video. just admire the this video and kobe and dont hate.
For all these retards who are saying it ISN'T a travel... how can you NOT see it!?!? He switched his pivot foot. YOU CANT DO THAT! It's clearly a travel point blank, hands down.
@adi1096 can't take a step before jumping? you've clearly never watched or played basketball. you're allowed 2.5 steps between when you pick up the ball and when you jump
No that's because your a fucking retard he never switched his pivot foot can you can't establish one until you stop dribbling. And when he stopped the pivot was his right you stupid fuck. And he never picked up his right foot only pivoted it. You gotta be like 10 yrs old or from Romania or some shit. And this isn't even traveling there......What a dumbass
whats funny is that ginobli really likes to use that move on the right side of the court and i guess he forgot to learn how to guard it....... kobe justs eats his opponents right up!
Its a travel because he moves his right foot after hes collected the ball, then pivots on it. Since he moves his right foot, the left foot is the pivot foot, but then he steps forward with the left, pivoting on the right. Its very close, but if you keep pausing it step by step you can see that he shuffles the right before stepping through.
@ivanlimjunwei No obviously I can't change anything commenting on a youtube video, but I can point out what actually happened. The only ones who could've changed it would be the refs calling the play right in the first place. I don't really see your point...people don't comment on videos to change happened on the video because thats obviously impossible....I mean no shit all these comments are useless but you can still try to accurately assess what happened
It would be a travel only if he stopped after the motion (like pump faking again for example) or dribbled before he went back out with his right foot since he moved his non pivotal foot first. His left foot was his pivot foot after the hop back, he had no choice but to shoot after the jab step. It's not a travel, go look it up.
holding the ball with both hands before landing on his left foot then right, then he moves his left foot first. not gonna argue with u about whether it's travelling or not.
the NBA officials are known for being extremely unlikely to call traveling, especially on stars.
It would take Lebron his whole career to learn footworks like that.

@cacat10000 That will never be called a travel b/c he didn't take his right leg up and put it down at 0:06. His right foot was the pivot foot there and, if you're talking about the minor movement it had after he faked Ginobili, that's not obvious/big enough to be a travel.

and ginobli is supposed to be the best on the best team right now.... how can u compare kobe to anyone wen he destroys great players like that

how is that a walk, he steps back by hopping, leaving both pivots available, and after the shot fake he follows through with his left foot making his right foot the pivot one and following through towards the basket..

Travel, his left foto was his initial pivot foot and he changed it, therefore a travel.

@Dpfriedman05 No. You can step with the other foot and pick up your pivot foot as long as you don't put your initial pivot foot down before you shoot or pass. No travel.

sk8r4life57 1 year ago
@Dpfriedman05 what 3 idiots thumbed you up. his right foot is the pivot. you just assume his left was the pivot. he could've used either one. simple fact is he did a stepback and did not move either one so he was free to use either.

Travel... Pivot foot was the left foot and when he moved it for the finishing move, he took 3 steps. And Come on guys, its the NBA, WHO CALLS TRAVELLING?

Thats Manu ginobili signature =D but I guess he wont mind it if Kobe makes it :P
lightsw0rd 1 year ago
That's a travel! just take the move step by step - He puts his right foot down to get back, and therefore the left foot is his pivot foot when does the pumpfake. But then he uses the right foot as a pivot foot instead = traveling! Obvious, but still... it's the NBA, and some people have a different rulebook than other players. But as you other guys says... No one is "better" than Mr.Crabdribble ;)

travel. he does a step back and lands with his left foot which automatically becomes his pivot foot then lifts it so travel.

For all these retards who are saying it ISN'T a travel... how can you NOT see it!?!? He switched his pivot foot. YOU CANT DO THAT! It's clearly a travel point blank, hands down.

@crazycriz5000 he didn't switch his pivot foot, he took a step before jumping. last i checked, that's not illegal

HAHAHH You can't take a step before jumping are you dumb?
adi1096 1 year ago
@adi1096 can't take a step before jumping? you've clearly never watched or played basketball. you're allowed 2.5 steps between when you pick up the ball and when you jump
H16HV0LTA63 1 year ago
No that's because your a fucking retard he never switched his pivot foot can you can't establish one until you stop dribbling. And when he stopped the pivot was his right you stupid fuck. And he never picked up his right foot only pivoted it. You gotta be like 10 yrs old or from Romania or some shit. And this isn't even traveling there......What a dumbass

im actually surprised ginobli didnt try to flop or something on that.
HoldenBrockway28 1 year ago
whats funny is that ginobli really likes to use that move on the right side of the court and i guess he forgot to learn how to guard it....... kobe justs eats his opponents right up!
Deadlypredator24 1 year ago
Its a travel because he moves his right foot after hes collected the ball, then pivots on it. Since he moves his right foot, the left foot is the pivot foot, but then he steps forward with the left, pivoting on the right. Its very close, but if you keep pausing it step by step you can see that he shuffles the right before stepping through.

@shandler420 can u change a thing even if you spotted the foul?
ivanlimjunwei 1 year ago
@ivanlimjunwei No obviously I can't change anything commenting on a youtube video, but I can point out what actually happened. The only ones who could've changed it would be the refs calling the play right in the first place. I don't really see your point...people don't comment on videos to change happened on the video because thats obviously impossible....I mean no shit all these comments are useless but you can still try to accurately assess what happened
shandler420 1 year ago
its all about not establishing your pivot foot before you pump, so key

It's not a travel, Kobe Bryant simply mastered at his foot work.

He moves two times the same foot then move the other leg.
SO... it's a travel
welty9 1 year ago
It would be a travel only if he stopped after the motion (like pump faking again for example) or dribbled before he went back out with his right foot since he moved his non pivotal foot first. His left foot was his pivot foot after the hop back, he had no choice but to shoot after the jab step. It's not a travel, go look it up.

karlchris24 1 year ago
Whenever you take a jump step, you can take one more step with either foot BUT you can't move the other foot.
Kobe merely took a jump step, then chose to take a (last) left step, jumped with both legs and released the ball in the air.

Beautiful move. No call is the right call, but I think it was a travel.

who cares if he travels? he still makes the play nice and no way are the refs gonna call that when its probably a highlight

holding the ball with both hands before landing on his left foot then right, then he moves his left foot first. not gonna argue with u about whether it's travelling or not.
the NBA officials are known for being extremely unlikely to call traveling, especially on stars.
