Mozgov travel

[kennethgriffin]

It amazes me how sh*tty the nba and its fans have become



You know its bad when people cant handle ONE god damn traveling violation per game







Lets just make it sarcastiball and get rid of any rule that isnt sppealing to the eye... eliminate havkashaq... no more travels... blah blah blah

Fair enough, I've only seen the play once. But is it a travel had he not moved it?

Like the example Infinite Baskets posted above. IMO that isn't a travel, and that is initially what I thought Mozgov did, but now I realize he moved his foot.

From my understanding no, because he dribblined into it he is free to decided which foot is the pivot and both are availabe.

Technically both are travels. LeBron got away with one, to the benefit of Heat fans, but he did travel. He gathers his dribble, steps with his left foot (one step) and then lands on both feet (second step) and then cannot take another step, which he does with his left foot again.

Had he kept his pivot planted, it would have been a completely legal move. And from the replay it doesn't seem like he really gained much space by lifting the pivot so it ended up being more of a sloppy error than an illegal advantage. A travel's a travel though

not a travel in the nba

[MavsSuperFan]

Refs let lebron travel way more blatantly all the time.

[Le Shaqtus]

They're consistent with not hitting Lebron with those offensive fouls when he's punching dudes in the jaw on the way to the rim

It's pretty much an offensive foul every time he goes to the rim, shit never gets called.

Why the hell is everyone talking about pivot?

Can you not see him moving both his feet AFTER the hop step? So essentially it's like he hopped twice. That's a travel.

There's no pivoting going on. Just a hop step on 2 feet (stopping motion), then another hop lifting both feet off the ground while he's spinning.

Have you guys ever noticed how when someone isn't moving (i.e. catching the ball on the 3 point line), they can't take any steps before dribbling? That's cause they're not in motion. If someone catches an outlet pass while running theyre allowed to take 2 steps and take a layup (cause they were in motion).

Well sometimes a hop step to a pivot isn't a travel...

That's traveling.

[Cleverness]

Yes it was a travel, he shifted his pivot foot a good 6 inches, but by NBA standards, it rarely gets called.

this. people arguing whether it was a travel because he jump stopped into a pivot, but when you do that AND move your pivot foot 6 inches, then it's a travel.

it was a travel

i cant believe the commentators didnt see it.... and one of them is a former ref

they've been hoping Warriors lose all playoffs. Mark Jackson still really bitter.
