  • 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."

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

see all

  • not a travel in any league in the world. got rid of the ball before pivot touching the ground after being lifted

  • is not a travel einchtin

  • QQ 

  • @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.

  • he can lift his pivot foot, as long as he gets the shot of before he puts it on the ground again. this was not a travel

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

    Thanks mr Baloney

  • 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.

  • 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
