INTELLIGENCE IS A GIFT AND A CURSE

@SaO102927 @NBA__Courtside The only players on rookie deals were Greg Monroe (Rookie) and Dajuan Summers (2nd Year), the rest of them had been in the league at least 5 or 6 years already.

@NBA__Courtside Why would these young guys ride with yall and they fighting for they nba life on rookie contacts . Yall vets could do that because yall already got yall bag .

Tracy McGrady telling a story about when he was on the Pistons and they boycotted the coach midseason: “So, some internal talks amongst the players. Hey man, it’s a boycott. Dude got to go. We don’t want him around. We don’t want play for him. So, we had a trip come to Philly, right? Mind you, we’ve had talks. Hey, we ain’t going to shoot around. Us vets, young players talking with us like, All right, everybody’s in. We’re not going to shoot around. The next day come. Shoot around. I get a call. Mac, where you at? What you mean? Where I’m in my room? I said, where everybody else at? Now I’m nervous. I say where everybody else at? Well, it’s only a few guys right now. Just only the young guys, huh? What? They on the bus? Nah, they already had shoot around. Who? I was like, Nah. I said, Bro, who? I said, bro, who’s at shoot around? So, he gave me the names. So, all right. Let me check and see where my vets at. Making my calls around. Hey, man where you at, bro? Sh*t I’m in the room. Bet. Hey, dog. Where you at? Hey, man. I’m in the room. So, my vets they hold tight. So, we get to the game, Q said all the guys that was at shoot around think it was like five or six of them. Y’all all playing all the minutes tonight. We didn’t play at all. Zero minutes. Bro, do you know how hot we were at them young fellas, bro?” (Via @VinceAndTmac)

@Motion_Boy_ Then they start getting crazy. And you get confused by it like the dumb whore I am. Smh.

@Hero_OfThe_Day The only illegal thing that happened here was his pivot foot sliding on the spin, everything else is clean.

An absolute joke!! 🔥🔥 The rules don’t apply to Shai. One of the many reasons the NBA has lost popularity!! Michael Jordan would’ve never lost if he were favored this much 😂😂 How many steps did he get away with here??

@ApexJones22 The only illegal thing here is his pivot sliding on the spin

@tennis4life13 @Daddys_Tired @Shane00 @Jacobtheclipper When you launch from a gather step yes you can

@kobehooks @Daddys_Tired @Shane00 @Jacobtheclipper You can’t go up to shoot and just come back down, then everyone would do that on jump shots when a guy was about to block it

I offered to fly to you to play 1 on 1 like you have been begging for months now if you can show me the NBA rule that makes the top play legal, but the bottom play illegal And, of course, you can't do it. I'm waiting @Jacobtheclipper

@Jacobtheclipper Because he doesn't launch from a gather here, he launches from his left which is pivot step 1. He lands on his right which is step 2. Then returns his pivot to the ground before getting rid of the ball

Somebody show this to that cutting edge new travels guy and Shane guy. Apparently they are the only ones that understand the NBA rule book. You CANT jump like a shot and land you have to pass or shoot! Never knew I had to explain this, 2nd graders know this (or used to know)✌🏻

@Daddys_Tired @Shane00 @Jacobtheclipper Because he doesn't launch from a gather here, he launches from his left which is pivot step 1. He lands on his right which is step 2. Then returns his pivot to the ground before getting rid of the ball

@kobehooks @Shane00 @Jacobtheclipper He went up. On his left foot. Came down. With two feet . Passed before his feet moved again. Ref called travel

@PensareBBall The only illegal thing that happened here was his pivot kept sliding, everything else is clean.

Count the steps.

@KyleBrown233 @mdwbasketball When launching from a gather yes you can

@kobehooks @mdwbasketball You can’t leave your feet for a jump shot and come down with the ball

🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

@KyleBrown233 @mdwbasketball Yes you can. Up and down isn't a call.

@mdwbasketball You can’t act like you’re making a jumpshot and not shoot the ball. We call that up and down.

@livie_case @Shane00 They're the same. There's no height limit on a jump stop.

@Shane00 These 2 clips aren’t the same But to someone who has never hooped in their life it’s not shocking you think they are

Here is the NBA refs explaining a similar play. Totally legal You guys really need to learn the rules. Jumping off of 1 foot and landing on the other foot or both feet is legal, its only jumping off both feet and landing that is illegal. There is no rule on how high you can jump on a step

@G6616939549985 @Shane00 @Jacobtheclipper You're wrong. They jump off their gather foot and the jump stop is the first step.

@Shane00 @Jacobtheclipper I have proved it! With the NBA rule. But Shane loves to throw his own interpretation into the rule to make it something its not. Here you go (again) #5. Verbatim explains this as a absolute travel! Everyone.... what do you think?

@commonsense578 @Shane00 @Jacobtheclipper Both are legal. You're misinterpreting this rule.

@Shane00 @Jacobtheclipper Both are travel The bottom video, he gathered while on his left foot. He then hopped landing on both feet..(including the foot he gathered on). That is illegal. Link to NBA rules provided here. videorulebook.nba.com/archive/travel…

@Daddys_Tired @Shane00 @Jacobtheclipper Up and down is not a call. There's no height limit on a jump stop

@Shane00 @Jacobtheclipper Up and down on the bottom travel Top is a true jump stop

@AshvAmilly @BronGotGame @LegionHoops @NBAonNBC @Ballislife The difference is the spacing in the half court. All type of super explosive first steps, shifts, cuts, and deceleration are happening at a way higher frequency on both ends of the floor. It's too much stress to constantly recover from.

@BronGotGame @LegionHoops @NBAonNBC @Ballislife You do realize the 80s was one of the highest paced eras ever and he literally loved to play in full court transition.

“You play basketball for 2.5 to 3 hours a day. That's your job. That's what you get paid to do. What are you doing the other 21 hours?” — Michael Jordan on load management (via @NBAonNBC, h/t @Ballislife)

THE FIRST DRIBBLE LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BE A RIP THROUGH TRAVEL, CAN'T TELL IF HE WAS PROGRESSING OR NOT. AFTER THAT IT'S CLEAN THOUGH.

@waitingforhaiz Her handle

i’m actually curious, what is something yall think Paige needs to improve on?

IT'S DEFINITELY 03, SUPER POLISHED. HIS BEST COMBINATION OF SKILL AND ATHLETICISM BEFORE THE KNEE ISSUES.
