I agree. It's a blatant travel, especially in replay and not in real time.
But in real time, this would be hardly noticeable. Now, compare it to OldSchool's pointed out move from Jordan.
MJ's move was even faster, and he slid his foot as opposed to picking up and CHANGING pivot feet. Yet that's the one kid has a problem with and posts a huge rant on.
Exactly. This dude is a moron if he doesn't believe that EVERY player gets away with worse than that and that it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to notice that amount/type of movement in real time.

yes, players get away with travel and sometimes murder in the game of basketball but that is not the point.
The point was all these people jocking a move that was only effective because he traveled.
The defender doesn't bite if MJ didn't lift his pivot foot. If I was playing defense and see his pivot foot move, as taught by coaches to look at waist and legs, I would have bit too.
Like I said, if he pivoted correctly and legally there would be no "move" to talk about.
Why no venomous response to it the way you did for the MJ play?
Which in all sincerity is the least obvious travel of all of these. It went so fast, and he slid the foot in response to a quickly attacking double team. Disguised it. Now, check these.

You just can't be reasoned with and people that can't be reasoned with are not very intelligent.
The point I was making is that there is no "move" to talk about if MJ didn't lift his pivot foot.
We're not going to debate Kobe travels versus MJ travels.
Strictly on that move, by lifting his pivot foot, it meant MJ was going to put the ball on the floor and dribble but he didn't, therefore, causing this "fake".
I have already said players get away with traveling if we want to be technical but this "move" by MJ was a direct cause from lifting his pivot.

Except he never lifted the foot, he slid it like 3-4". And at that speed and angle, Blaylock most certainly did NOT see that and it was NOT what caused him to bite. You're out of your mind.

It was the speed and lean of the pivot jab step ... Blaylock was an elite defender too.
And like we said, he slid the foot, didn't lift or change the pivot foot. It's the agenda of his wreaking through. No comment on the Kobe move. His shuffling of the pivot, changing the pivot, and illegal step through not being what sold Ginobili on the move.
But the illegality of Jordan's move is solely what made the defender flip in the total opposite direction.

Ummm, ok. Agenda, exposed. What a clown.
Thats why he's on ignore...He's a ridiculous Kobe stan...The likes Ive never seen before...
These Kobe stans just can't accept the existence of MJ. There would be no Kobe if MJ didn't exist, his style reflects that of MJ just not as good but still great nonetheless.
that first hour alone shows you MJ was head and shoulders above kobe and bron. the hangtime, the midair improv, the touch around the rim, the fearlessness. unmatched by anyone.

i bet these kobe kids are afraid to watch the video. afraid that it will reveal the truth. kinda reminds me of what Morpheus said in the Matrix.
"You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it."

Just watched this again yesterday. I was thinking the same thing...Crazy...
