    Maybe you should just refrain from making any threads.

    Every star/super-star travels. He's just doesn't make the league enough money for them to turn a shoulder to it.

    It's only traveling if the referee catches you.

    Daryl Morey was a mistake. What has this man ever done for us? I don't see any championships. What difference does it make if Morey ran the team vs. me? I can run this team and not win any championships too.

    Man, it's time to trade Morey and some first round picks for Danny Ainge.

    It's just how he plays. Most of the travel calls that he gets is because he is going to his left side.

    He always uses his left foot as the pivot foot and the right as the non-pivot.

    The way he plays when he drives is all based on his explosiveness. He has that 'deadly' first step. If he uses his left foot as a pivot foot, then we he drives right, he can use his right foot as the quick first step to catch his opponents off guard with the quick first step.

    Vise versa: if he uses his left foot as a pivot again and they are guarding him hard on his right side, then he'll drive left.

    So when this happens, he has two options:
    1) He drives left by twisting his whole body so that his right foot is on the left side of his opponent. The problem: that turning of his body will make him lose the explosiveness and deceitful first step.

    2) Plant his non-pivot foot down on the right side of his body and drive left. The problem: he's still looking to explode in his drive to the basket so subsequently, after placing his right foot down, he'll move his pivot foot (the left foot) first to get the explosiveness, hence all the travel calls.

    Put it this way, if your standing straight up with both feet below your shoulders and you want to run diagonally left or right, the first step you take will most likely be the one on the side go.

    Rbio will be a bust. He will never be a star, let alone super star. I see him as a better Jose Calderon. Solid starter nothing more.

    I swear, Rubio has to be the all time best NBA player to never play an EFFING GAME!!!!

    Seriously, the guy has proved as much as I have!
