Fair enough, thats probably the best Ive ever had it explained to me
Question about layup traveling in b-ball
- Thread starter MenacingMonk
- Start date
In street ball everybody wanna play with a clusterfukk of different rules.
I did the 2 1/2 step move and some dude wanted to call travel on it. He was the only one who tried calling it too.
So the first one I listed is a travel, right?
I believe so, If im reading it right. Is what youre saying: Player A is alone on a fast break (an example)..picks up dribble takes two steps then doesnt go up? If so, thats a travel.
Most pickup games let the less egregious shyt slide. One of which is on jump stops usually, oftentimes because it isnt called much in the NBA either. True jumpstops gotta have both feet land at the same time so it counts as one step..most of the time it is a little gallop with feet landing at different times but it happens so often it basically never gets called.
Of course theres usually that guy that calls travel once the game gets close on footwork that has been done all game and people fight for 5 minutes.

Yea.
One move I did was I took a step while trying to gather the ball, took my second step to establish pivot, stopped, faked the shot and used the non-pivot foot to step into the direction for the best shot. Dude called travel.

Breh- You dont see them 3 big ass steps he takes BEFORE he places the ball on the floor?
You only get two steps in the NBA. At every other level, as soon as your dribble has ended, the foot on the floor is your pivot foot. If you pick it up and then put it down before releasing the ball you've traveled. The challenge is determining when the ball is picked up/the dribble has ended at full speed.

He took 7 steps for a layup

Either way, It's too much to sneak a dribble in there

He took one step after catching the ball, then proceeded to put the ball down during his second step. There's no travel in there at all. I'm not understanding why people aren't seeing this.

Everything looks like a travel in slow motion, brehs
Five steps? Seriously?It's all good
He took four steps after receiving the pass and before his first dribble.Ain't no thang
Monster jam though.
i still get confused what constitutes a travel, its inconsistent
i see players take 3 CLEAR steps all the time without it called
when i say something here, everybody says its legal to take an extra step while gathering
They "clarified" the rule, a couple years ago.
A gather
Step with the opposite foot
One more step with gather foot
Basically, three steps.
