    Well, that would be interesting if they make that a No Call, for sure. But sounds like they are describing something other than the Durant Swing Thru. That has a name and rule for it, and was recently expanded o address hooking arms on a jumper. I would expect Woj to actually say it by name, if thats what part of the crackdown is about.

    As an examle, Luke’s methodical dribbling in the lane often gets defenders on his back, then he jumps back into them.

    i guess we’ll see video examples on the NBA official rule site soon enough. But I think leaning sideways and backwards jumping into ppl is something new

    Instead of Rules committee worrying about the stepback, maybe they could look at Giannis's spin move to hop step. Or Lebron's 2-3 steps long stride football carry.

    my son is better at making stop back long 2's and 3 pointers than he was at layups until he joined an AAU team. It was ridiculous.

    That battle was lost long ago with the Euro step. Though aren't all those moves based on the concept of the gather step?

    Honestly, I think they need soften the hand check rule. and be more strict on defensive 3 seconds. Essentially they have to encourage passing more.
