Interested to see what the boxden basketball experts think of this play.

In my mind the answer is simple but let’s just see what y’all think.

In case y’all missed the answer:

A legal play at ALL levels. Left is the pivot and the shot is released prior to the left returning. Good job to all the “Twitter Refs� that said clean. https://t.co/D5k6YYxzqW

thats a travel. moved his pivot

If he kept his pivot foot down..I'd allow it..but I can see why "it depends"

Thats not a travel. He jumped off the off foot. Legal.

There’s 100% a definitive answer. It definitely doesn’t “depend” in this situation.

Clearly a travel. Dudes do this all the time at every level of ball and regularly get away with it.

He switched pivot feet before jumping to shoot. If he jumped off of both feet after that last step through he’d be straight.

Something that never gets called that definitely needs to get called is the travel on spin moves. That sh*t is a huge advantage momentum wise and puts the defender in a foul or give up a layup situation. Players like Wade and LeBron hop toward the basket on the pivot foot during the spin. It’s almost impossible to defend that because it gives them so much momentum plus they’re spinning so you really can’t square up to take a charge. lebron does it every time he spins.

Back when I played all the time they woulda called this weather in pickup or a regulated game.

Who fu*king knows if they call this in today’s NBA

Yeah I’m not talking about if it would be called though….by basketball rules, is it a travel?

By definition no cause he shot the ball before his pivot foot landed

My answer for this specific play is no due to him moving his pivot..had he not tho..then I see it clear

No, at least by NBA rules. Since he raised his pivot foot, he shot the ball before his pivot foot touched the floor again.

“If a player, with the ball in his possession, raises his pivot foot off the floor, he must pass or shoot before his pivot foot returns to the floor. If he drops the ball while in the air, he may not be the first to touch the ball.”

Bruh you can't dribble dribble dribble, stop, pick the ball up, pretend to shoot, and take another step

You can.

Hence why moves like the Sombor Shuffle is legal.

Notice how Jokic establishes his pivot (left foot in this video), picks up his pivot, THEN shoots the ball.

8 to 2 so far with people thinking it’s a travel

Mario Chalmers said 8 to 2 so far with people thinking it’s a travel

Make that 8 to 3. Added my vote.

Looks like a travel but it's not. Looks funky because of the distance he covers to get to the basket but if you look at the footwork it's exactly like this:
