@santanaramostarango Don't worry about travelling... He does the jumping step-back and he ALWAYS travels and almost NEVER gets it called. I don't think anybody's ever called me for it either so...

@maxvmmaxvm thats what makes kobe so good at it! dirk is so tall and such a good shooter tht he only needs like 2-3 feet of space, his shot is pretty much uncontestable. kobe uses skill to get at least a yard and a half away from the defender and leaps a good amount into the air

@juanitogonzalez24 ya dude but kobe is a guard and dirk is a power forward 7' :-)
