"Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me." Michael Scott

Correct Call.

Anyone reading about LBJ’s "crab" dribble?

This whole jump stop thing is a travel in the first place, and now player’s want to add to it, and think it’s not a travel, because the jump stop isn’t called. I’m glad he was called, because he gets away with it too much. He has too much of a physical and athletic advantage to be allowed to bend rules as well.

He took a step, then the hop step, then two more. Even if you count the step before as a "hestitation" dribble, that’s still three steps. Traveling no matter what.

Give him and inch, and he’ll take a mile. This is why the jump stop is bogus. Too many people travel while doing it (some don’t), and it just becomes accepted.

Lebron is the only player I’ve ever seen get away with a Triple Jump during an NBA game.

The NBA has perverted the jump stop (a longstanding, legitimate move); they let players land their feet staggered instead of simultaneously, and worse they let them take a step and use a “pivot” foot afterwards. But it’s called pretty consistently, so it is pretty much accepted. Kind of like the spin move which usually involves a dribble, then a step to plant and pivot off of, a step with the other foot which becomes the new pivot, the 180 spin and plant with the other foot—3 steps. Almost never a travel, in fact it is bizarre when it is called. The funny part is that it’s virtually the same footwork that KG uses in the post often that other teams complain is a travel; nobody ever complains about a spin move but they sure do with KG. The only difference I can tell is that the spin move is a little more fluid.

Haha.

I posted a comment about KG on FB & G, but left it out here, because I figured everyone would take it as Celtic bashing form a Laker fan.
