Magic!

@@tqsuitedokay nice

@@ACECLANLEADER34 And yours?

You can still dribble after catching the ball with 2 hands

which doesn't violate anything

yep that's legal foot (step 1) -> both feet (step 2)

nope its a catch, then a dribble, then a stopping of the dribble

Gathering of the ball isn't when you just touch the ball. It's when you touch the ball with 2 hands (most of the time)

Exactly

Jordan did the exact same moves homie

NO. you are quoting the wrong rule. It is a separate rule within 25.2 If you are both feet on the ground, catching the ball then you are right If we are moving and catching the ball, we are to release it before our second step. Notice that, it this case, that traveling will not be looking if you are lifting a foot but taking a step.

That only applies when you're pivoting

This is correct. There are NO steps legal after pivot is established. In every league but the NBA, once the pivot foot leaves the ground, the ball must be released into a shot, dribble, or pass before ANY body part touches the floor again. Also, most leagues explicitly require beginning a dribble BEFORE lifting the pivot foot.

@@weksauce that’s a lie the step through is legal at every level even high school. The travel is based on the pivot foot returning to the ground thats it. Meaning it can be picked up and another step can be taken u have to release the ball before the pivot returns back

No that’s not how it works the pivot foot can move. It can be picked up. A travel is only based upon the pivot foot landing on the ground after being picked up. If u release the ball after it’s picked up then it’s no travel. Also gotta remember a pivot foot can only be established after the ball is gathered

@@RobinXlone Quote the NFHS or NCAA rule that allows for jumping/hopping from pivot foot, to other foot, to shot/pass. It doesn't exist. The rules are written such that once the pivot foot leaves the ground, NO PART OF THE PLAYER may touch the ground before shot/pass leaves the hands. That includes the non-pivot foot. The NBA is different. It went from pivot foot, to "player may take as many steps as necessary to come to a stop before pivot foot is established", to "two steps", to current iteration: 0th/"gather" step plus two steps, plus (don't know if this is explicitly written still) no calling travelling unless an advantage is gained. That's why step backs have 3 steps now at the NBA level, and why they never call the travels that happen about 80% of the time a player receives a pass above the 3pt line. They don't use the travel to gain an advantage, so let the game continue and everyone make money.

@UCa_ZUKm-mJHD55qxeQvk1AQ Here's NFHS, the governing body of almost all American high school basketball: RT. 3 . . . After coming to a stop and establishing a pivot foot: a. The pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the floor, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal. b. If the player jumps, neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal. (b doesn't explicitly state any body part, but it's implicit. Can't land on your hands, knees, ass, and then keep walking/sliding after jumping from a pivot foot.)
