Dwyane Wade gets away with travel on Gamewinner

Not a travel if it didn't get called.

 

boo hoo

 

Let me guess... this video was NOT made by a Bobcats fan.






















Year right.

 

not a travel.

These guys always site the wrong rules. The generally are always wrong. That would be the correct rule had Wade indeed "jumped off of one foot." That was not a jump, that was Wade stopping his dribble. He hadn't collected the ball until the first foot was off the ground. He was still progressing (as in running). His dribble WAS STILL ACTIVE. So he came to a stop with two pivot feet....legally pivoting off of one of them.

 

also, lebron had a dunk that did not count because it went through the rim and bounced off the guy who was contesting its head and came back out through the rim

When you're the best shooting guard in basketball, you get away with plays like that.

 

^ Yea exactly.

Besides he did all that so quick that its pretty hard to keep up with, wade is known for pulling off moves like that and they're legit most of the time

 

thats probably the best defense I've ever seen.

 

The music sounds like I was about to see Batman square off with the Joker.

 

I think its technically a travel. He clearly takes a jump stop then another step. That said he looks to get bumped by the defender which causes him to take that step to steady himself. Overall a pretty fair no-call.

 

No, the video sighted the wrong part of the Rule Book. This is what applies in Wade's case.

Wade did not stop his dribble when the video said he did. He could have still kept dribbling at that point. He did not have two hands on the ball until he stopped with both feet as his "Step One" in the rule book. Then he is allowed to pivot off of either foot.

The key is when he stopped his dribble by gaining control of it.

 

Wasn't even a travel, because it wasn't a illegal pivot

 

Hurting my eyes. It's "cited." Otherwise, very informative.

 

Made by Hardwood Paroxysm which is one of the best blogs on basketball. They do this series have ball, will travel on a lot of big plays that are questionable.

 

Yep, this seems to be the case. The dribble stopped on the step where he landed with both feet. So he has one more step to take (in this case a pivot).

1st Step: Landing on both feet
2nd Step: Pivoting right foot

 

This is correct.

 

Dat wuz just a crab dribble main.
