And just like Hakeem, it should have been called a travel. * ducks under cover * Edit: Ok, maybe not. I guess the NBA allows that little half step while picking up the ball.
I thought he was just gonna grap Yao like Dwight Howard did to him during the all star game so he wouldn't be posterized. This was beautiful though, brings back old memories of Shaq being dominated by the Dream in 95.
When I saw it, I thought he traveled. Hard to keep that pivot foot planted when you reverse direction but I have seen worse examples of no-calls.
His pivot foot (left foot) stayed planted until he jumped in the air to shoot the shot. Not a travel.
It was like the play that keeps getting replayed on the Spurs Rockets 95 playoff series whenever they show it. Between Hakeem and Robinson. I dont think it has a name, besides dominating.
When I saw that I was like, "Hell M'fn yeah"...that was a thing of beauty...Dream shake, not actually, but cool nonetheless...
