Go watch part 1 and read all the comments...A lot of us were wrong on this one...matter of fact I was 0 for 2.
And if you're a player looking to get better then grab this free workout here: ballerbootcamp.com/sww
I was actually really surprised to see that the NBA had an actual video describing why the Yugo Step is a travel. I couldn't find a video on there about the Step Through probably because it's legal, but I did find a few articles online stating that it isn't a travel.
So now you know guys. And a quick disclaimer...all refs are different so yes you can still get called for a travel doing that step through. I still don't think I will teach my players to step all the way through and jump off of 1 foot because my guess is that they will get called for traveling sometimes.
And remember that the NBA travel rules are the same at other levels, but the refs in that league are just more lenient so you have to be careful when mimicking certain things you see on tv.
Ok, I hope you guys liked this video and if you did hit that like button and leave me a comment to let me know.
Have a great day.

I legit just watched these two videos and had never seen either before. I started on this one and went back to the first when you said we should check that one out first So I paused, watched the first and came back here. I went 2 for 2. I've never played organized basketball but have watched all my life and this is part of what irks me. There are other clear Nba travels the league doesn't see as well. Will check out more videos, good stuff. Keep up the content. Good stuff.

[@rjcarr316]

Go read about "Step 0"; basically if your foot is down when you're gathering, as long as it is in motion, then the next foot to come down becomes your pivot. So, your spin wouldn't be a travel, but once both feet come down you can't move them, but only to take a jump shot (i.e., no pivots). The reason this exists is it is almost impossible to tell in real time whether a foot is on the ground when you gather, so that first "Step 0" gets a pass. If you happen to be off the ground when you gather then you don't get a Step 0. I think the NBA and most of USA basketball has allowed this Step 0 for a long time (always?), but just recently it's been allowed in FIBA.

[@comet60fps79]

If the step through is a travel then every running layup or dunk would be a travel..Let me explain..So for someone who jumps off their left leg to go up for a right handed layup or dunk. They pick up their dribble after left foot hits the ground and then take their first step with their right foot then as they lift their left foot for their second step this makes their right foot their pivot foot which they of course lift from the ground as they jump off their left foot for the layup or dunk. Point proven :) Its the act of placing ones pivot foot back down after lifting it from the floor that is a travel or of course sliding or dragging it to gain an advantage is also a travel. Now to the person who said its a travel because if not then the person could just lift their pivot foot and just hop down the court on the ir other foot as long as they dont put pivot foot back down. Well thats why their is a rule that states you cannot jump off one foot and land back on the same foot.You can jump off one foot and land on both feet or the opposite foot but not on the same one you jumped from. hope that all makes sense. :)

[@NikosKobe24]

Ok.. seems that you like and follow basketball but you have to realize that the stepthrough and the running layup/dunk are a totally different, meaning that they have different gathering principles. A stepthrough move is basically a stride stop and you can only do it properly if you release the ball before you lift your pivot foot otherwise its a travel. Now the gathering for the layup(for example right handed layup) is righ foot down-left down and up for the layup. That has nothing to do with the stepthrough because the stepthrough is not a gathering process its a STOP( like jump stop/stride stop). Hope that helps.

[@lankstadiscs]

This is totally wrong, you are allowed to lift what would be your pivot if you gather and finish with two steps to the basket. If you gather and come to a stop, pivoting off your pivot foot to the other side it is absolutely a travel if you let your pivot foot come off the ground. Basically if you are finishing a dribble you can take your pivot off the ground to take a layup (obviously) but if you plant your pivot and start moving around on it you have to jump off both feet at the same time for it to not be a travel.

[@moejoeryzen2983]

You were slightly incorrect. A player can yugo step if they delay the pickup of the dribble until the first step is off the floor. The rule states you cannot touch with the same foot consecutively AFTER ending your dribble. NBA Rule: “Upon ending his dribble or gaining control of the ball, a player may not touch the floor consecutively with the same foot (hop).” FIBA Rule: “A player may not touch the court consecutively with the same foot or both feet after ending his/her dribble or gaining control of the ball.”

Great great video, step through is so simple amd killer

[@T0NE3116]

I appreciate your research and opening the discussion. The breakdown of Move 1 was great and made me understand how that Was a travel. I’m not convinced Move 2 is legal. Coming up, I was basically taught that move would be an extra step and essentially Changing Your Pivot after establishing a pivot, which is a travel. I’d never even teach this move because i can’t see a ref not calling it.

[@shadowwarsshadypeople6299]

It's legal everywhere in the world in any league lmfao.

[@Chilicoach]

@@shadowwarsshadypeople6299 Idk where you heard that but you're badly mistaken. The Step thru is allowed in basketball everywhere. It's always been a fundamental part of the game and if the rules were to not allow a step throgh, then a simple layup would be impossible, because your first step of the two steps is establishing the pivot. So if you can't pick that foot up to take an extra step you can't do the most basic of basketball fundamentals

[@danieljoris5720]

@@Chilicoach that is a very bad take and I’ll explain why. FIBA rulebook in paragraph 25 states that a progressing player may take two steps after a dribbel before coming to a stop, shoot or pass. So a layup cannot be a dribble cause your pivot foot is established on the second step. On the second step you JUMP OFF the pivot foot. In step through you do not jump off the pivot foot making the move illegal. FIBA rulebook is very short, read it! In NBA rules do not require you to jump off the pivot foot, you are allowd to lift the pivot foot when going for a shot or a pass. So according to NBA rules it is not a travel, according to FIBA rules it is.

[@wat4504]

Exactly, most people are taught wrong. Lifting the pivot foot isnt switching pivots. Stop relying on what you learned in middle school and just read the rule book instead Rule 4 - Section VIII "If the player raises his pivot off the floor, he must pass or attempt a field goal before the foot is returned to the floor."

Baller Boot Camp The step through is a travel too , at least yours is, yes you can lift your pivot but "Neither" foot can return to the ground before you pass or shoot. The way you described it , let's say someone forces me to pick up my dribble, you're saying I can establish a pivot, simple jump past him landing on my non pivot leg alone then shoot or pass without returning my pivot to the ground.

Baller Boot Camp great video dude but I have a question. Why isn't hardens step back called a travel? Doesn't he return his pivot foot to the ground before he shoots. To me it looks so illegal.

[@montecarlo1998]

Both moves are not TRAVEL, the YUGO step becomes travel only when picked the ball up with two hands before jumping, then landing on same foot, which means you established your pivot foot by picking the ball before the jump, then lifting it then coming down again with same foot. Now if you picked the ball then jump on left foot then land on both foot, it is not travel, considered 2 steps only, now you can only lift you feet at the same time to take a shot or pass or it will be a travel. Always remember You can lift your PIVOT then taking a pass or a shot, but you cannot lift it when you are about to dribble the ball, the ball must be out of your hands before lifting the pivot to make it legal.

[@Xdev1lG00D]

if you noticed you do put your front foot down after picking up your pivot foot, that's a textbook travel. if you jump off of your pivot foot while lifting both feet for a shot or pass is NOT atravel

[@kobekane]

You're still switching pivots from a stop position. It is not a travel in the WNBA but is a travel in the NBA. The only legal way to lift your pivot is to jump. If you lift your pivot and your other foot is down then you've switched pivots, which is a travel. You get 2 steps from the moving position but only 1 step from the stop position.

[@richardmolina2964]

the first move is really a travel if you jump. it must be look like a jump but not a jump really you must stretch you arm with the ball up together with your first long step almost like your doing a stretch bend then take a second step to seal the defender behind you it must be a long step then finish with your freehand before the third steps lands on the ground the first move is an injury prone move because you bend too much and the first step is the only one that makes be your body stable on the ground. and if the defender hits you because you tangled with the defender's foot or body contact is strong enough. it's really bad injury for your knees and ankles but both move actually can be a traveling if didn't execute well or if the situation of the defensive form is not good for executing that kind of moves

[@lankstadiscs]

On the ‘step through’ it’s a travel, not only if your pivot hits the ground again, but also if you lift your pivot off the ground while your non pivot is still touching the ground. Obviously you can’t pivot a few times like some sort of extended hesitation before finishing towards the rim with two steps.. this should be obvious to anyone.

[@mildyproductive9726]

By this interpretation of the rules, you could get into a situation where you start to go for a shot or a pass, lift your pivot foot, but realize you have no shot/pass. So instead of leaving the ground from your "non-pivot" foot, you are left standing on one leg like a flamingo until you throw up your prayer or find somewhere to pass the ball. Also, in the last demo you showed of this, you not only lift your pivot foot, first, but you have both feet off the ground for a bit before you land on and take off from your "non-pivot" foot. So in this interpretation, once you are stopped and establish a pivot foot, you can legally take a one-footed jump off your pivot foot in any direction you want, land on the "non-pivot" foot, stand there like a flamingo as long as you want. Then jump, again off that one foot. If this is the actual rule, we will see people developing a one-footed stepback. I'm not arguing, because I've seen Lebron and Harden play hopskotch/Twister in the paint to this sort of tune. But in organized school basketball or on the playground where I grew up, this crap didn't float.

[@michaelzhou2422]

Yes you can do either

[@Chilicoach]

The up & under or step through is one of the most basic and fundamental moves in basketball. It's allowed for the same reason a layup is allowed: if it were illegal to lift your pivot foot to take an extra step then you couldn't do a simple layup either. What's happening in a layup is on the first step you're establishing your pivot foot, and you pick that foot up to take an extra step from which you shoot from. If that's allowed, the step through/up & under also has to be legal

[@mildyproductive9726]

@@Chilicoach Hey ChiliCoach. The rule used to be that once you stop and establish a pivot foot, the pivot foot must leave the ground last OR both feet must leave the ground at the same time... The Hakeem Olajuwan happened. One of the greatest players ever. And because he was such a powerful and graceful and charismatic player, no one cared to blow a whistle when he blatantly stretched that rule. Even he attempted to make it look like he was at least TRYING to follow this rule... Then James Harden happened. And here we are, today.

[@Biggiiful]

@mildyproductive9726. Everything you just said is you're own historical narrative that you have made up you're mind. The step through has ALWAYS been legal at all levels of basketball in the US. Hakeem made use of the existing rule. There was NEVER a rule that said hi have to jump off both feet. You always got two steps. The first foot to hit the ground after ending a dribble/catching a pass is always the designated pivot foot/step 1. Which means you get 1 more step. Lifting the pivot has never been a travel, because lifting a foot is not a step. Putting it DOWN is. Otherwise every layup would be a travel. Use basic logic. Also, when landing on two feet at the same time, this is called a two foot jumpstop, and the rule is that this landing is considered part of step 1, because you get to choose which foot you want as the pivot. Then the other foot can step through. You can shoot off two feet or step onto you're second foot and loft your pivot/step 1. You are wrong. This has nothing to do with the gather step or Harden. This is not remotely new, and has always been part of the game. It's very popular to repeat what you claim, but that narrative is just flat out wrong and historically incorrect.

[@mildyproductive9726]

@@Biggiiful Hey. Go back and watch how Hakeem did it. He always jumped off both feet at the same time. Now he very clearly and consistently lifted his pivot foot just a hair before the other... but he kept it close. He wouldn't have done it like that if it was legal to lift your pivot foot, first. Actually, no one else got away with it as badly as even he did, in his era. Today's rules have clearly changed since then, at least in pro leagues. Yes, a layup is also "illegally" lifting the pivot foot first. In high school ball our coach taught us that the layup was an exception to the rule, and that to qualify for this exception the second step had to smoothly continue from the first. The Eurostep was illegal even in the NBA, up until maybe the late 80's or early 90's, IIRC. As far as I know, the eurostep is still illegal in many high school leagues.

[@sandeshtulsani1517]

Can I stop on 2nd step while taking layup

[@Sy-kv6hy]

NBA change their rules because current players lack of physical talents and height, back to Jordan，Kobe，T Mac , NO1 SG, they do not need extra step for the space. They just shoot on your face not matter what. For James Harden? he need extra 2 steps for the space.

[@camw1034]

I was 0-2 also. Now quick question, what about when players skip while dribbling? They leave and land on the same foot sometimes. I know I've seen d rose and Steph curry skipping around and dribbling. So does that rule extend to dribbling? And if so isn't skipping illegal then?

[@BallerBootCamp]

Well I guess its legal because they aren't picking the ball up.

[@thechefcharles]

I think the step through has to be travels if you leave off one foot. Or else you could do a move where you switch pivots by doing a step through. You said the rules say as long as the pivot does not touch the ground after you pick it up then it is not travels. Then you could do a step through and pick your pivot up and stand on one foot (the other foot) the now new pivot foot. Anyone get what I am saying? You could do a pretty dope move where you switch pivots, apparently without switching pivots. It has to be called travels as soon as the pivot leaves the ground if the other foot is still grounded. Its the only way it makes sense.

[@Biggiiful]

I get what you're saying, but you're wrong. Picking up the pivot foot(step 1) and standing on step 2 is not "switching the pivot foot." It's standing on step 2. A pivot foot is a foot you PIVOT on. You cannot physically pivot on step 2, because you are not legally allowed to put step 1 back down until you get rid of the ball by shooting or passing. You can stand on step 2 as long as you want, with step 1 raised on the air. That's not illegal and it is not establishing a new pivot foot. It's just the 2nd step of the two legal steps. Can't put step 1 which WAS you're pivot foot back down, because then that would be a 3rd step and WOULD be trying to establish step 2 as a second pivot. Step 2 is not a second pivot until you try to put step 1 back down before shooting or passing.

[@yhcominthru]

hey is the step when u picked the ball up count as 1 step?

[@rjsavage7228]

Under gather rule it is zero(etasblish pivot) 2 steps to follow but cant ground both feet twice in the entire process . You also can not jump off 1 foot and land on the same single foot .but you can leave off 1 and jumpshot/prohop(samething)

[@alienworldvader]

The spin move isn't a travel. The one area you got it wrong is what is considered the pick up. Initiating a spin isn't a pick up because a lot of times players initiate a spin and then put then continue dribble basically the spin dribble. So I don't think it's reasonable to conclude that initiating a spin is equivalent to picking up the ball. So if you don't make that assumption it isn't a travel because the opposite leg is a pivot. Also by that same reasoning that the pivot can't return you aren't allowed to take 2 steps because the second step is your pivot returning to the ground which by this line of reasoning is illegal.

[@free2rhyme445]

I've always thought that was travel if done as you did in the video: If you stop yourself with a 2 steps arrest, you used up the 2 steps available without the dribble. So an additional step lifting the pivot foot would count as a third step. But if you stop yourself landing with both feet at the same time, then you can choose your pivot foot and use the remaining second step. This way for me make a lot more sense.

[@Rj-wy8nk]

The step through is not a travel. The rules says it is only a travel if the pivot foot touch the floor again. This is how old school players did the up and under move that has been lost from the game. Lifting the pivot foot does not constitute a travel lifing the pivot and returning it to the floor does. So if you think a step through is a travel you dont know basketball. The yugo step is a travel because because of this same principle once you hop on a a foot and pick up the ball that is now your pivot. From this point if you take two steps you will be returning the pivot back to the floor making it a travel. So basically you are doing a tripple jump motion which is 3 steps.

[@Raffy9000]

Slight variation: **I noticed you did this on your second clip of the step through** Can you step through, but instead of stepping, jumping off your pivot onto the other foot and going up to shoot without the pivot landing on the ground? If not, why?

step through is still a travel. The lifting of the pivot foot and landing is when you jump off the pivot. the rulebook also stats .while standing with both feet on the floor .The moment one foot is lifted, the other foot becomes the pivot foot. you already established your pivot foot on your move, then with both feet still on the floor, lift your pivot which makes the step through leg by definition the new pivot. Changing pivots is travel doesn't matter how you interpret the lifting and landing rule.

Thats the rule from the NBA, essentially you can lift either foot or both but you must shoot or pass before either returns to the ground.

[@yopappy6599]

Been doin the step through since I was a kid, ain’t never been called for a travel. If you pump fake, go under the defender with a step with the left foot, while simotaneously jumping off that left and shooting the ball before you land with the right, not a travel.

[@TheMazterMind]

both are looks travel, when I watch slow mo, its a legal step, that was amazing!😃 are those new steps?

[@roberrtox]

1/1, what about FIBA rules? Do you have the links to see that?

[@BallerBootCamp]

I'm not sure about FIBA, sorry.

[@enterthevoidIi]

Not a travel according to FIBA rules

[@luk17032000]

enter.the.void.II yeah, the you have to land on a diffrent foot is not a thing in Fiba

[@enterthevoidIi]

I saw some NBA players doing this... Like LeBron James and such

[@i.luv.hazel.]

fiba rules in october 2017, yugo step is a travel. you cannot step same foot twice. same as nba. for me it is Injustice because that is a normal move,that should not be a travel.

[@user-qe2ex1eg1f]

Thanks 👍

[@DASell-uz6xg]

have you seen the debate about Candice Parker's move on KGarea21? is that a travel...?

[@ivanmolero7829]

The yugo step is not a travel if the ball is picked up with both hands when the same foot hits the ground the second time (that counts as the gather step), the player could take up to 2 more steps after that according to the new rules.

[@Biggiiful]

Nope. Can't land on the same leg you jump off of. Doesn't matter when you gather the ball.

[@arnelplata691]

here in the philippines yugo it's not a travel step coz it deffends to the referee on how if she or he sharp eyes lol

[@ssj_primal]

MJ and Kobe use to do this step through move all the time. This move is so controversial because if you were to do it at the park or gym people would say travel and some people wouldn’t agree with the call

[@toveycen4668]

nope. You never really watched mj Kobe move. They always jump 2 feet together at the last step. Don’t claim mj Kobe use this step. They won’t take the credit. Watch the video with ur eyes!

[@sebastiancovac7879]

not true. kobe would to it when doing his pump fake, spin on his left foot (pivot) then take a step with his right, lift his pivot and then shoot.

[@y2keefus]

2 for 2. also, that yugo step is being called a "hop travel" by the NBA refs now. i don't think it's a travel in FIBA, because you are correct is saying that they just started calling it a travel in the NBA within the last few years.

[@Chilicoach]

It is a travel in FIBA

[@Chilicoach]

Although i see you commented 5 years ago. I think the wording making the yugo illegal didn't come until 2017. But since then definitely illegal

[@rolandduson2021]

Today I went high to pump fake during my gather step. I completed the gather step by bouncing the ball, up from the right foot, pumped in the air, came down on the left. Gather step complete. 1,2. They said it was travelling...

[@Todd_Kuhns]

it was

[@Pachupp85]

In europe the first one is travel cause you jumped with both legs and landed without shot. It does not matter that you made steps after. The second one is not travel cause you did nottwo steps and instead there is one step, pivot and second step, thats fine. Im here cause i cant understand whats going on right now in nba. I did not follow for quite a while and i see that they allow for way to much. I was looking for info if nba changed rules or what?

[@Pachupp85]

Edit, sory but the second one is travel too, you are acutally lifting pivot and making 3 steps.

[@llmic23]

So are nba rule applied in high school ball and college ball?

[@BallerBootCamp]

I think that for both of these moves the rules are the same for NBA and high school.

[@fredgarvin9262]

NBA rules are the same for high school and college. Ironically, not in the NBA though.

[@Rj-wy8nk]

People keep say the step through your changing your oivot your not you have to pass it or shoot it. It is not a pivot foot is a jump foot. If you bring the pivot foot back down its a travel. You have to pass or shoot. So if you do a step though and dont pass or shoot its a travel.

[@gregsizemo8143]

You run a basketball camp???

[@timothychang4166]

Even though the rule says it's not, since this video I've seen it called as a travel more than a few times in the NBA

[@lysluk]

Both are travels and of course depends on the refs. The step through if you lift both feet at same time to go for goal is legit. That's how Nike camp coaches teach you, and look at Kobe and lbjs, or shotmechanics clip on LBJ step through move. "If you don't lift both feet at same time is a travel"

[@c.kizzee8961]

lysluk Thank you... they're both TRAVELING violations

[@Mangix974]

Yup, moreover, just right after the dribble on the step through, he already made a 1-2 step and then gone through for the basket, so the right foot was the pivot foot, and he just moved it again and laid it up...

[@bryanrendon3588]

@@Mangix974 "If a player, with the ball in his possession, raises his pivot foot off the floor, he must pass or shoot before his pivot foot returns to the floor." That's straight from the NBA rule book bud rule 10, section 13, article D.

[@enterthevoidIi]

It's simple really Yugo step is a travel according to the NBA rules but not a travel according to the rest of the world (FIBA etc). Which is bit ridiculous due to the fact that we can see NBA players doing even more than regular 2 steps all the time. I'm from ex Yugoslavia, we learnt that step in school, we called it extended two-step and it's perfectly legal. You can see players in Europe doing it all the time. The second one is a travel even on Mars :D

[@alexcross4564]

I was 1 for 2. I didn't think the yugo step was a travel but *insert jingle* the more you know!

HAHA, insert jingle...

[@lilnae1235]

Hey augie. I have a question So everytime I drive into the middle I always get the ball stolen . Any tips?

[@BallerBootCamp]

Don't drive if there is help defense. Also, if you do go middle make sure you keep that ball low and if someone comes to help, kick it out.

[@cevenqurkle821]

Recently i have been asked to referee adult leagues with modified NBA rules...meaning that we dont have 3 refs and no def 3 or 5 sec back to basket... I printed out all of the rules of the NBA and fine tooth combed them... Straight away i knew which were travels and which werent...but there are some more rules that are more pressing than this... Wouldnt wanna be a NBA ref in real life...

[@fredgarvin9262]

NBA refs have the easiest jobs on the planet

[@cmack17]

According to your research, I was 1 for 1. However... YOUR RESEARCH IS WRONG! The first move is not a travel either. The video on nba.com IS NOT done the same as in your recreation. The player(s) at nba.com are stopping their dribble while their foot is on the ground. You ended your dribble in the after AFTER the first hop. Look at the NBA traveling rule again. The first step count is not started until a foot touches the ground AFTER ending the dribble. Here is a thought experiment... Can you legally dribble downcourt while hopping on 1 foot? If yes, why? If no, why not? Think

[@kavenavery8561]

It seems like the rules have changed so much. These rules nowadays seem ridiculous. In my day you could only take one step and you couldn't bring down the next step or it was traveling. I don't care what anybody says, the eurostep should be a travel. These extra step moves is so unfair for the defense. Maybe that's why they score150 a game nowadays.

[@kobekane]

Yugo-step is a travel. They both are travels. You can only lift your pivot if you jump... Not step. If you step you have switched pivots.

[@Grossebourse]

Who say that ? Canb you show me the rule which say that you can only lift the pivot by jumping the two feet at the same time ?

[@eugenecayetano4734]

Their both is traveling specially yugo step you cannot land on the same foot after picking up the ball, that is base on the rule book

[@2ndservace]

Also called step and half

[@kensniffeyjr1004]

This is exactly why hardens step back is a travel bc his pivot foot returns to the ground then he shoots...fuckin makes me nuts that they don't call it. It's not fair he gets to take a huge extra step back bc of it.

[@tonyh8371]

Fundamentals of baskeball lost on younger generation? I'm 33 and learned to play basketball on the blacktops of 3rd grade and learned it from playing it with friends. Don't want to sound high and mighty, but I learned the basics of travel from elementary friends. How is this so confusing for younger players? You get one one pivot + one step. It's these damn fancy schmancy betties that confuses the damn rule with their 360 noscope euro ballerina layups. Step through is not travel, because left foot remained pivoted. The take off begins from the moment he lifts the left pivot foot followed by the right, which means he took two steps to the basket. No travel. If you think about a running layup, it's always the pivot foot planted, then a step, then the layup. During the layup, the pivot foot gets lifted before the 2nd step. The step through is just exaggerated layup, but same principle, so Step through IS NOT a travel. The two right foot steps doesn't mean he switched pivot, but rather, is allowed because that's what a pivot is for. He can pivot as many times as he wants as long as his left foot remains positioned. Nba players take advantage of the step through by lifting the pivot foot. You're 2/2 on the correct travel rules. Keep the education going bro.

[@martinbelan7308]

Bro lookin like kengkoy with his moves 😂

[@deepseadiver8191]

That step through you presented is an obvious travel and the rule you read about it does not contradict it. Yes, of course you can lift your pivot foot when passing or shooting, but you did not pass or shoot after lifting the pivot foot, instead you took another step toward the basket. So the very rule you read tells you you can’t do it. You can’t take an extra step after you lifted that foot as you clearly did. In other words, you jumped off your non-pivot foot way after the pivot foot was lifted. The only way such step through is not a travel is if you’re jumping of off both feet (or at least make an attempt for it to look that way).

[@rokirambo648]

Well app FIB rules are not mach to NBA rules...

[@rreganhughes]

noooooooo, u are changing pivots! u can lift pivot, yes, but the foot on the ground is the pivot, so if you step on the other foot it's a travel. it's a misinterpretation. yes u can lift pivot, but u can't switch pivots. when the pivot is lifted, what do u call the other foot that is on the ground???

[@okanhawk]

DaKoraqi Yeah I'm a huge fan but he's spreading misinformation.

[@Kevinschart]

he's not changing pivot feet. as long as he doesn't put his pivot foot back on the ground it is a legal move

[@richardtaylor446]

The foot that stays on the ground is called his non pivot foot

[@BlindBanker]

Spreading misinformation. Lol. He is correct. You can use the non-pivot any way you like then lift the pivot as long as you released the ball before the latter hits the ground. Do you even listen to what he just said?

[@kennanlynn4977]

BILL GATES once u step through u have to jump of both feet once the other foot is off the ground and the other is still on then that’s changing pivots.. therefore travel

It was ugly and caused arguments on courts all over the world lol

Ffs the only reason theres a debate in the first place is because they keep changing rules that dont need changing, not to mention, if Fiba sticks with Nba rules we wouldn’t be as confused.

[@mechanicalbreathing589]

And the second move isnt a travel like most people say, you can lift your pivot foot and keep it up as long as you dont touch the ground with it.

[@cantbefaded83]

NBA is a traveling league now. Gardens step back is a travel but because it’s makes game attractive they decided to allow. I just saw steph travel in game 3 at end of third quarter 3 ducking steps yet is legal.

[@RelativeStrengthFit]

Zero for two like you.. At least I learned something today :-)

[@BallerBootCamp]

Yeah it's pretty tricky.

[@julabask]

The step through is a travel because you taking a forward drop step meaning one of your steps is not in progress towards the hoop. A pro hop must be taken with all steps towards the hoop. Once you drop step away from the hoop you forfeit any more steps. Not a new rule been around before the creation of the pro hop. People who just don't know what a pro hop is accidentally created this bull shit.

No call travel for Yugo step if you use a zero step.

Is it considered a travel when u lose the ball and go after it again
