nope

his jump is a total reaction to the double, his left foot in that pic is on the way down, then he jumps

that's his second step towards steph - his weight is already shifted

lol thought u said he left his feet, your honor this witness is totally unreliable

sustained

here is the video enjoy neither second step nor left his feet is true

Here is another angle of Steph Curry doing Bron dirty...pic.twitter.com/98qWiOadnx

what is a fact is steph had both hands on the ball and bron reacted in a way completely appropriately to that fact

alternative ILH facts

what that video shows is lebron getting owned lmao

i cld prob own lebron if i were allowed to double dribble (i cld not)

what if you could double dribble on every dribble

believe the obvious counter to that is to introduce another ball

can't double dribble if each hand is dribbling its own ball ;)

steph does that pump fake all the time and doesn't place his hand on the ball, which is what bron was reacting to, his movement toward steph that allowed steph to get by him had already been made

feel like that argument wld be better suited as a call in to the worst sports radio show possible

or coming out of the mouth of levar ball, one of the two

i urge you to unshackle your brain from the limitations of the NBA rule book

sry the double dribble is sacrosanct basketball cannot survive without it

i can live with not calling the occasional double dribble. the hill that i will die on is refs not calling self (which i acknowledge is just a more advanced double dribble)

the rule that i pay attention to the most that needs to be eliminated is the charge bcuz it makes for bad basketball, as opposed to overlooking a double dribble which makes for great basketball

if you eliminate the charge, you could never switch a smaller man onto a larger man, bcz the big would just knock the little guy straight onto his ass and roll to the basket unguarded.

i think he means eliminating the play where the defender just slides in front an offensive player attacking the basket

glad someone finally figured out the secret to making great bball

it was right under our noses this whole time

have seen several basketball experts smarter than myself advocating for that in the past couple years

yeah this is very standard stuff

if they just called it so u had to be in place on the gather, which is how its written iirc, it wld be fine, then otherwise u have to be guarding the guy to take a charge

The worst most bullshity version of that is when the guy on offense makes a pass prior to the "charge" yet they still call a charge

obv offensive players could still be called for fouls if the defender is playing active defense and gets in front of the ball handler. i'm talking about charges where the defender makes no play on the ball handler except to stand still in front of him to draw a charge.

also need to stop calling shooting fouls behind the 3 point line when the player never intended on actually shooting!! but i think they're gonna do that

they're gonna do that

hot take on the double dribble, i really don't care either way.

there should be...no rules Ⓐ

wow that is bold

i agree they are gonna have to insert some language about the player being in the shooting motion at the moment the whistle is blown or whatever

they should allow carrying...OPEN carrying

try fouling me in THIS shooting motion, hoss *pew pew*

pure texas through and through

*cuts thumb with bowie knife, drips oil*

you see this here son? this here is what texas was built on

*is rushed to hospital bc omg why dont i have regular blood*

LeBron James reiterates that Cavaliers don't want to slow pace vs Warriors: "That's not our game. We don't play slow down basketball."

ok the series is over

yeah that really just makes no sense

sounds like 4d chess to me; can't imagine they're gonna try to run in game three

Yeah they totally got served when the dubs went into chaos mode and tricked the cavs into trying it too! Slow it down and muck it up buds

Btw I never even noticed stephs double dribble because I was totally watching the footwork (and also lebrons little hand rave when steph gets close to the lane initially) but it totally affected the play

Otoh I'm fine with virtually carries except maybe as part of a drive/shooting motion, guys carry all the time in the backcourt brining up the ball and it's totally irrelevant

Virtually all carries

tonight we must re-enter the world of ball

tonight we ball, tomorrow the pee tape

i guess this is a how-they-say "must win" for cleveland
