Footwork/rules/refing in the NBA is hilarious. First one from RJ is such a travel it’s not even funny. Since when can you lift your pivot foot in basketball to start a layup on the other foot? All that after you stopped your dribble? Why they even have a travel rule? Like a backcourt violation, it’s a long gone myth by now.

@cpw vuk I thought that you had to jump off both feet (or just the pivot) for a while as well. Actually, everybody was taught that way (even NBA players, Jordan for instance always jumped off both feet, and KG has said on TV that step-throughs are a travel if you jump off one foot). But the rule is very simple : “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.” Again, what helped me understand is that the rules have to be consistent. If I am allowed two steps during layups, I am allowed that same second step as well If I decide to pivot after the first step. With Dirk’s fade it might be more difficult to see (most times he jumps off two feet), but there are clear instances where he pivots with the right foot and does his standard fade off the left. With Kareem it is even easier to see, there aren’t many instances because he usually did the skyhook as a layup, but when he launched it from stationary and his pivot was the right, he clearly takes the extra step to jump off the left only.

@cpw vuk Btw for further info you are right if you consider FIBA rules, which might be the reason why an entire generation thought like that. The FIBA rule is: βTo pass or shoot for a field goal, the player may jump off a pivot foot, but neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released from the hand(s).β In the NBA the only rule is that the pivot foot cannot be landed, but nothing is said wrt the other foot, hence RJ’s move being legal.

@jesustenes2 The fiba rules are nothing but basketball rules. Nba rules are showtime rules (constant 3 steps layups etc..) that exist nowhere else.
Real question is: What rules every americans who don’t play in the nba are supposed to follow?
Basketball rules or nba rules? Seems obvious to me.
To summarize, RJ’s move is a travel all day in the game called basketball.
Though it is NEVER a travel in the game called nba basketball. SImple.

I personally stopped watching nba games because of that alone.

@cpw vuk Agreed. The problem is, FIBA will eventually catch up to the NBA as it always does (particularly with so many European superstars), so we might as well get used to these “new” rules.

I am not going to lie these all look like travels to me. I thought you couldn’t change your pivot foot.

Once you establish your pivot and you lift it, you can do anything before you put it back down. So you are not “changing” pivots if your pivot is the left foot and you take an extra step with your right. Think about layups, you first step establish your pivot foot (not really, but bare with me for the comparison), and then you follow that with an extra step with the other foot. For the rules to stay consistent, either layups become illegal or all the fancy moves (fadeaways, skyhooks, step-throughs…) stay legal. Otherwise it seems a bit arbitrary.

How is the first one not a travel? He picked up his pivot foot before shooting.

You can pick up your pivot foot, you just can’t land back on it with the ball still in your hands. Unless you’re thinking about a jump stop

The NBA is racist.
Too many blacks in NBA.
There should be a rule: every team must have 50% non-black players.
That way we promote equality and end racism. Right?
See how stupid this sounds?
Now listen to BLM

I have a question and I promise Iβm not one of those fans that complain about referees or traveling in the NBA all the time but whatβs the rule on establishing a pivot foot? On first watch and again after replaying them, I think Barrett in the first clip, Joker around 6:20 mark, and some other dude at 8:25, are all switching their pivot foot giving them an unfair advantage getting their shot off uncontested. I know the difference between these three moves and all the others in this video are very subtle but in my opinion it was an uncalled traveling violation. Either way, great clip.

I guess it’s legal to switch your pivot foot nowadays
