Oldest definite "Euro Step" I've seen to date:

[Rake2204]

Not a euro step. He just stepped to the side of the defender.

Yeah, maybe side-step was the phrase I was looking for. Folks instituted many forms of side-stepping for years before the Euro properly emerged.

It was a semi-Euro step. I think it's just a ploy to get your video viewed more than it should motherf[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]cker.

[COLOR="White"]Just kidding about the video, but I still think it was a semi-Euro step.[/COLOR]

Yuck I hate when they turn 4:3 videos into widescreen by adding that shit on the sides. Impossible to watch.

Yeah. It would've been a euro step if his last step before passing was to the right of the defender (from the defender's pov).

I wouldn't use hate personally, but I definitely prefer the original black bars.

that is not a necessary criteria for a move to be considered a eurostep, a eurostep can literally be done without any defender, it's just a fake one way with a big step followed by a big step and finish off the other foot in the other direction

[Crystallas]

Sorry, not a eurostep. Not that it matters to point that out to someone that has made up their mind.

What's next? Every juke move is going to be called a eurostep now?

I know. A eurostep, from what i understand, is when a player steps in one direction on his first step and in the opposite direction on his next one. Cousy just looked like he stepped twice towards the right.

If a Eurostep requires 2 full steps, than that specifically can only be possible post 1980's (late 1980's I think), only 1.5 steps was allowed after a dribble was picked up prior to that, you can see Cousy dribbles once after his step-fake to the left, he puts the ball down once more as he goes right. You had to do that then, you don't have to do that now. This changes how extreme you can sell the fake, if you don't have to dribble after the first step you can exaggerate the motion. IMO it's the same move, just the ball handling rules today make the move look more exaggerated, just like a crossover dribble - which also existed back then - looks more exaggerated today because carrying isn't called.

The idea of the eurostep is to "split" the defender as in faking right then going left or opposite.

What happens in that video is that he does a basic drive and then gives him self and angle on the rim and next defender.

Fine.

It's mildly irritating.

But, that doesn't work on ISH. You must hate EVERYTHING here!
