Here's another clip showing the ending of the game between the Bucks and Celtics. Just how many times does Giannis carry the ball when he brings the ball up the court?

I think it would be very apt to change this thread title to "Giannis carries the ball on almost every possession”. :P

All that dribbling and the best shot he can generate is an 18 ft sweeping hook?

If that's the case, yeah, I'm ok with a little carrying if it helps players get to the rim.

I never get my panties in a bunch about carrying because if you played ball growing up, you know that it starts at a young age. It helps because you grow up knowing how to play against players who carry too. Makes you a more versatile defender, imo.

But that clip is wild. Lol

kd literally puts his hand under the ball, hovers it and takes steps before bouncing it back down

it really sucks but until they start calling carries like this regularly, it's part of the game and a normal play. imo this is a case of don't hate the player, hate the game.

Bornstellar wrote:Pretty much every player does. Technically you aren't supposed to put your hand under the ball and rotate it into the dribble

The rule is
"A player who is dribbling may not put any part of his hand under the ball and (1) carry it from one point to another or (2) bring it to a pause and then continue to dribble again."
Clearly indicating that putting the hand under the ball is within the rules if you don't stop your dribble.

So a 7 page thread on Ja Morant carrying every possession and there is a clip of one single possession?

Gotta love RealGM.
