Damn lebron needed to get a travel agent for that one.

wishihadnav · 05-04-2010, 09:45 PM

Time for Utah to lose again..haha.

now hold on one minute, i know the "jump stop" is completely legal in NCAA/HS rules, is there an NBA rule that classifies that as travelling? I do it all the time in the city league and it doesnt get called, think about it, you get 3 steps per dribble right? wouldnt jump stopping consist of 1?

To me it's simple....the magnitude of the initial jump was ridiculous. It seemed as if he was in full flight and that to come back down made no sense. I've done/seen hopsteps a gazillion times and they never look like that...but at the same time I've never seen an athlete like Lebron either.

If I was reffing I'd call that a travel...but who knows? I think even the fans were a bit stunned bc they had no clue what to think and were expecting a whistle...lol

Correct me if i'm wrong but I think it all depends on where you pick up your dribble. But i don't know NBA always changes it's rules to cater to their superstars.

What Lebron did was legal guys. Taken from the NBA rules

Quote:

"An offensive player may end his dribble by alighting off of one foot and landing simultaneously on both feet...Note that at this point, the player may not pivot; if he lifts either foot, the ball must be released prior to that foot returning to the floor."

Is it me or does kobe looks like he's getting healthier every game, he was all over the jazz on game 2, blocking shots 8 assist and 30 points.

phelan · 05-05-2010, 12:30 AM

he looks healthier because it's the fking jazz. they have to send help everytime gasol/bynum/odom gets the ball in the post, and other than AK-47 they have no defensive presence to put on kobe at all. so lots of help defense + cj miles / wes matthews playing d straight up on kobe?

kobe will slaughter the jazz all by himself.

wishihadnav · 05-05-2010, 11:51 AM

utah..haha!

zman1910 · 05-05-2010, 08:11 PM

LA shouldn't have any problems making it to the finals this year.....unless Phoenix can somehow manage to play defense all the while maintaining their offense.....but I highly doubt it

tc20 · 05-06-2010, 02:31 PM

hmmmmm spurs will take it!

This is an all too familiar scenario that the spurs are in right now...im talking about 2008 western conference semis against the hornets. Yeah we went down 2-0 and then beat them in 7. I say we beat the Suns in 6 and then the Lakers in 7.

And, are you forgeting how many rings we have in recent history??

This is just what im thinking.
