[DC F]

Lot of ignorant 'basketball' players out here commenting. Double dribble? Lol

[BarkleyCrew]

all you guys are haters best shot ever!!

[NguBriYen]

Did anyone see that guy fall? WTF?

[dannyCshow]

you're allowed to drop the ball with both hands, you just can't keep dribbling it with it both. the ball only bounced once then he picked it back up.

[RonnieTeeSmith]

He didn't travel, his left foot is his 'pivot' foot. And as long as that pivot foot remains planted on the ground, he could turn all he wants and it won't be considered a travel.

I wonder if Laettner was watching Easter Sunday?

Dude, a double dribble is one of two things:

1.Dribbling, picking it up, then dribbling again.

2.Dribbling with both hands.

Number 2 has one exception, and that is if you only took one dribble in that possession. So if you only dribble once, it can't be a double dribble. Ever.

dumbass, double is dribble is using both hands to dribble not dribbling twice, get the fuck out out basketball, you dont know shit

OK, so apparently I don't shit about basketball, thanks to all who have enlightened me to the concept of the double dribble. That aside, there still was 3 distinct foot movements for the one dribble, I know they don't call it much (especially in the NBA!!), but isn't that traveling?

[dwellwood69]

Surprise, surprise, another self-righteous indignant asshole heard from. Look, I'm neither a Duke supporter or hater. Dribble and shot aside, for those of you just learning to read, my comment was more to berate the Kentucky defense on this play.
