Yeah ok buddy.

Looking back now it was probably 3 steps. Everyone saying 5 is just wrong. Steps aren't counted when he is gaining possession of the ball. He doesn't truly gain possession until around the FT line.


.....is that not a travel? What's the point in arguing how many steps were taken? The point is Nate travelled.


Um, well originally I said it wasn't a travel, so chill.

In an argument every detail matters! LOL

fail in the long term ? the association is already 60+ years old, if it wasn't gonna work out it would have flopped ages ago.

Next time, do it without the personal insult. Public warning. - Rhett

Nate Robinson didn't do anything that Wade and Lebron don't do about 150 times a season. No big deal.

Nate's hand was over the ball and it looked like he was about to dribble, but instead gathered it with both hands. For some reason, the refs always seem to count the part where their hands are over the ball as a "dribble", even when they don't bounce it on the ground. I don't know the exact ruling on this..but I would think the ball has to leave their hands before they're allowed to take extra steps right?

Even players slashing in half court..they would dribble, then at the peak of their dribble they would take a step, but then gather the ball and take another 2 steps. So the ball doesn't hit the ground for 3 steps. The refs never seem to call it.

Nate gets to take extra steps because he's short and his steps are smaller.

I can't believe that's the same person.


He came back fat the same year you started watching. They had the lockout and a number of months into it, they had a charity game where he came in a tub of lard. Everyone was shocked.
