Ozempic is a shot, not a surgery.
How many points did Bird have?
Exactly. I used to love the celtics but lost all interest in the NBA many years ago.
@DesotoCountyDawg just got a hard on while putting you on the list
I once shook the hand of Bill Russell, Bailey Howell, and Coach Auerbach. My hand would never shake the hand of a Laker.
Travel? Of all the travel that could and should be called in the NBA, this isnt an example.
He dribbles, collects, and shoots.
He dribbles, shuffles both feet a few times (i.e., travels), and shoots.
Serious question: has the "travelling" rule in basketball been changed at any point in the last 10 years?
Just looked up the "travelling" rule in the NBA Rule Book.
Rule #10, Section XIIIb:
Rule #10, Section XIIIb:
- A player who gathers the ball while progressing may take (1) two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball, or (2) if he has not yet dribbled, one step prior to releasing the ball. A player who gathers the ball while dribbling may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing, or shooting the ball.
- The first step occurs when a foot, or both feet, touch the floor after gaining control of the ball.
- The second step occurs after the first step when the other foot touches the floor, or both feet touch the floor simultaneously.
- A player who comes to a stop on step one when both feet are on the floor or touch the floor simultaneously may pivot using either foot as his pivot. If he jumps with both feet he must release the ball before either foot touches the floor.
- A player who lands with one foot first may only pivot using that foot.
- A progressing player who jumps off one foot on the first step may land with both feet simultaneously for the second step. In this situation, the player may not pivot with either foot and if one or both feet leave the floor the ball must be released before either returns to the floor.
He gathers as his right foot touches the floor.
He then takes a step while he sets both feet, then shoots.
A step prior to gathering or while gathering, doesn't count.
It's funky and looks funky, I agree. But it's in the rules.
What irks me is when shooters pick up their dribble after a crossover, place both feet on the ground, then jump back and to the side so they get behind the 3pt line, and shoot.
I get that the move isn't travel since the allowed step doesn't have to be towards the basket, but it sure should be travel.
Right. The rules have evolved to essentially permit travelling, especially at the end of a dribble while the former dribbler is "gathering."
He gathers as his right foot touches the floor.
He then takes a step while he sets both feet, then shoots.

The only constant in life is change.
For sure to all this. I just dont think its changed in the last 10 years, which is what you asked earlier.. The same thing was taking place in the mid-20teens when Harden, Westbrook, Curry, James, etc were all atop the scoring lists.
The guy is 35 and was thrust into this role due to a ridiculous series of events. His coaching job this year was nothing less of astounding. I think the C’s managed to luck into one hell of a coach
I was just about to post and say it's sad to me that i had no idea NBA was even happening, much less that it is championship time.
Y’all act like this is just something new that happened. It’s been happening for years. Even when you were jizzing all over Michael Jordan and his “moves”. I mean, I get it. You don’t like the NBA now and that’s fine but don’t act like this is something that changed overnight
I have been listening to coaches like Wooden, Saban, Calipari, etc lecture for years, as they get hand fed significatnly unfair advantages with personnel to make themselves sound extra credible.
It's early on for Mazzulla but so far he is in a league of his own with his perspectives and approach. We will see.
I agree with you. Certainly, this permitted travelling is not new and has been happening for years and years.
I did not intend to imply that this is something new.
