People who don't know you can take two steps like that don't know basketball.

Kobe's so good even the shot-clock changes to let the crowd know who made it!

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.

For anyone that thinks this is a travel look at: Miami Heat - L.A. Lakers March-10-2011 LeBron Spin Move, then come back here and apologize.

It's not a travel, he took two steps, so everyone who said he traveled stfu...

@Slash417 Kobe rarely travels because he has such great footwork

@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.

[j03y2fly]

@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.

[musiqman0709]

@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 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.
