Seems like the saying "Rules are meant to be broken" is also applicable in NBA

[@kristijanEX]

I used to think modern players were more skilled offensively, less skilled defensively, but I have since thrashed that opinion. Why ? Old players outside of the 3 point shot were just as skilled, it's just that they either played in slower pace/more defensive eras with stricter offensive rules and they also couldn't take 4 steps, flop, avoid mind games, avoid getting punished...etc. like modern players. But I also have to give more credit towards modern defensive players, the rules are absolutely AGAINST them, they can't handcheck, they gotta deal with all the carrying and ignored rules that ignore basketball logic completely, they have to space to 3 point land...etc. Full respect to guys like Jrue Holiday, Marcus Smart, Giannis Antetokounmpo..etc. for keeping defense alive in a era where it's tough to play defense.

Not following the rules does not make you a better player. Of course they scored more they don't have to abide by any rules anymore.

[@jeffmousebeans5055]

most of the travels he shows are not violations because they're not carrying the ball as their hands are on top of the ball or on its side, meaning they are still dribbling the ball so steps are not limited. Most of the uncalled travels in the nba go unnoticed by the fans and come on step-back moves, even with the gather step. Literally every other step-back seems to be a travel if you look closely.

[@tcggggg]

@@jeffmousebeans5055 i noticed that too. Solid vid but he shoulda known u are allowed unlimited steps in between dribbles

[@mike-mz6yz]

thats why its crazy when people point out how older players in the 70s weren't good ball handlers. They use to make you keep your hand on top of the ball when dribbling, even the side of the ball would be called palming. It is so much harder to change direction with speed if you dribble like that!

[@lixandrossgernier2853]

You can take as many steps as you want while dribbling. The ball isn’t considered gathered until it stops moving(spinning in hand), and most of the carries the hands were to the side of the ball not necessarily under the ball

[@OminousShadow]

You can take as many steps as you want as long as the ball is NOT in your hand. Otherwise you're limited to the gather + 2 steps.

[@brycewomack2895]

Bro you can't travel while you're dribbling, it would only be a carry. I don't understand why he's highlighting the steps in between each dribble, you can take as many as you want as long as that ball still live.

[@antlo6055]

i think his point is that hes taking so many steps his hand is under the ball in most cases or else he cant take 50 steps

[@antlo6055]

and you literally cannot jump and take 2 steps then put it down like how ja did but the nba is the nba and i admit its fun to watxh him catch a body so idrc

[@allandubfr7336]

Yea while you are dribbling you can take as many steps as you want

[@Alex-nh1hb]

People like to make fun of the dribbling of old-school players, but modern players would just average 10 turnovers a game back then because of all the travel calls

[@timlett99]

They do need to do something about it tbh. Just cuz they score more doesn't mean the product is better. When you allow lawlessness like this it ruins the purity of the sport that made me fall in love with the sport because of the Kobes and Tim Duncans etc. I don't partake in any of the BS "X player would be better/worse in X era" stuff but I don't know how people watch mfs just walk around the court chucking up threes and not playing defense and say its better than previous eras.

[@Ues2DC]

Guys like this KZbinr just want players to be able to do wherever they want with no repercussions. If these guys are so great they should be able to play within the rules players had to before. If they’re so “skilled” shouldn’t be a problem.

[@timlett99]

@@Ues2DC Nah I hear what Clique is saying but he's also very young and I think with time he'll realize that the flashy highlights don't matter when guys quite literally can't play defense. Its all a marketing ploy and Clique is literally the prime target audience for the NBA

[@Cawby]

@@timlett99 Definitely agree. The thing I'll add is that it also takes the excitement out of the game for me. It was exciting watching great players trying to put up big numbers against great defense, or failing to do so because the defense contained them. All these rule changes since when I watched in my younger years have removed that aspect of the game. And I don't fault the players at all for it, they play to the rules they're given as always, I just don't understand why the NBA decided to ruin it's product.

[@MasterBogus]

its just like what jimmy said... you can do it without breaking the rules but the NBA wants more money thats why they are allowing it. now you know how it feels when you watch a game with a casual fan who thinks its an awesome move... while you just shake your head in disbelief.

[@LandoReal__]

i did like the overall point of this video thay Jxmy made but some of the examples are kinda questionable. It sorta feels like he thinks most hesitations are travels, like the Jordan Poole on Clarkson clip he counted steps but like, he’s doing a hesi, that’s a live dribble still. steps only count once you gather the ball. if you want to argue he carried (which i don’t think he did bc i always saw a carry is when you palms are facing upwards for the most part) then fine, i’d disagree but fine. still like the video concept though

[@raymondgarcia2927]

Yeah fr. I’m not sure he understands that steps between dribbles don’t count?

[@LandoReal__]

@@raymondgarcia2927 it doesn’t seem like he does. i swear he does this a lot, where his overall point is cool and it’s a nice video concept but some of his examples to support his argument or claims just don’t make sense if you watch it over more than 1 second. i love his content though but i wish he cleaned some of that stuff up

[@mikeesteves8427]

@@raymondgarcia2927 to my understanding for some of them hes counting steps after a carry, because a carry can also be a gather. But for others i really have no idea why hes counting the rules are aslong as u got a live dribble you can moonwalk and do wahtever

[@Bottle8inDC]

Idk non of them are really to bad because they don’t really put there hand underneath the ball it’s more on the side which is allowed as long as the ball is still moving in your hand and doesn’t completely stop then your good and you can take as many steps as possible in between dribbles

[@launchbase4944]

pretty sure he talks about this exact point in the video lol

[@jeffmousebeans5055]

@@launchbase4944 no he doesn't

[@SubtleHawk]

Nah a lot of these were pretty bad and would've definitely been called travel or carry in the 90s. The rules have definitely been loosened. This is one of the reasons why basketball in the 50s sucked tbh. The rules were too strict. People were taught to only put the hand on top of the ball (not even the side) so this is why the dribbling looked so primitive and many players only dribbled with one hand. Switching hands was too risky because it's hard to switch hands when you can't put your hand on the side. Bob Cousy was similar to AI in a way because he used to do a behind the back dribble that's very common nowadays but back then people said he was getting away with a palming violation (a carry nowadays).

I never understood why in football people accept that different levels have different rules but in baskbetball if they aren't allowing plays like they do in the NBA somehow it's a bad call.

[@deathcon6261]

Only two of those were even travels. Although, pretty much all of them were carrying (though it could be ambiguous as most of them were holding the ball on the side and it is only a carry if the ball stops moving in their hand).

[@Oohbrody]

BHS 😂😂

[@kevingriffith677]

some of these aren't carries tho. if the hand doesn't go under the ball it's not a carry. you can put your hand on the side of the ball and let the ball "float".
