God this era is such a fking clownfest

Jesus H how many travel miles did he earn on that one?

I mean the fukking ref is less than 10 feet away.

[superduper]

Zero perimeter defense allowed
Zero rim protection
6'9 Centers running rampant
Travels and stiff-arms galore
Layup line runways
3pt chucking clown fest
Every game is 80-80 at the half

Most advanced era EVER!!

Wtf

Anything to inflate the scoring

[SomeBlackDude]

i feel like there's an unwritten rule now that there's no such thing as a travel any more.

some of these aren't like borderline, could go either way travels. it's take 3 steps with no dribble then take 2 hop steps to make sure you're behind the 3 pt line.

refs are like "i didn't see shit. 3 points and a foul."

But bro did you even compare Harden's $tats to Kobe's?!?!?!

old timers just cant accept that the 3 is a game breaking mechanic that still isnt abused enough. Even Pop gets it even if he hates it.

Part of the reason Mil has been the best team during the RS even though Philly, Bos, Tor are likely more talented

Kareem: skyhook
Hakeem: dream shake
Duncan: bank shot
Dirk: one legged fadeaway
Harden: double step back
Rozier: triple step back

Are the new travelling mechanics also game breaking?

lol nope because everyone gets away with it and traveling calls have always been on the loose side unless it's the 60s or 70s. Sure some benefit more however

Were you unconscious during the split second he travelled across the planet to create space for the 3? I assume that's what is being discussed, not the 3ball itself.

i'm responding to op's bullet points in a later post. a traveling discussion is kind of futile imo, the NBA is never clamping down besides a few minor things. They cant go back suddenly or travel calls would start interfering with flow of play which is one of the huge appeals of the NBA. Even with all the free throws, it's still way better than football/baseball.

Edit: pretty bad but not the worst I've seen since Rozier made it decently smooth. The worst stuff is still the pivot foot stuff where a guy drags it 5+times
