Go watch part 1 and read all the comments...A lot of us were wrong on this one...matter of fact I was 0 for 2.
And if you're a player looking to get better then grab this free workout here: ballerbootcamp....
I was actually really surprised to see that the NBA had an actual video describing why the Yugo Step is a travel. I couldn't find a video on there about the Step Through probably because it's legal, but I did find a few articles online stating that it isn't a travel.
So now you know guys. And a quick disclaimer...all refs are different so yes you can still get called for a travel doing that step through. I still don't think I will teach my players to step all the way through and jump off of 1 foot because my guess is that they will get called for traveling sometimes.
And remember that the NBA travel rules are the same at other levels, but the refs in that league are just more lenient so you have to be careful when mimicking certain things you see on tv.
Ok, I hope you guys liked this video and if you did hit that like button and leave me a comment to let me know.
Have a great day.

Baller Boot Camp The step through is a travel too , at least yours is, yes you can lift your pivot but "Neither" foot can return to the ground before you pass or shoot. The way you described it , let's say someone forces me to pick up my dribble, you're saying I can establish a pivot, simple jump past him landing on my non pivot leg alone then shoot or pass without returning my pivot to the ground. Just imagine doing your version of The step through from like the 3 point line.
Baller Boot Camp great video dude but I have a question. Why isn't hardens step back called a travel? Doesn't he return his pivot foot to the ground before he shoots. To me it looks so illegal. He will gather and normally stop to make his left foot the pivot foot, then he takes an extra hop back where he picks up the pivot foot and returns to the ground before he shoots.
ua-cam.com/video/CyAna5Z83Ow/v-deo.html
Both moves are not TRAVEL, the YUGO step becomes travel only when picked the ball up with two hands before jumping, then landing on same foot, which means you established your pivot foot by picking the ball before the jump, then lifting it then coming down again with same foot. Now if you picked the ball then jump on left foot then land on both foot, it is not travel, considered 2 steps only, now you can only lift you feet at the same time to take a shot or pass or it will be a travel. Always remember You can lift your PIVOT then taking a pass or a shot, but you cannot lift it when you are about to dribble the ball, the ball must be out of your hands before lifting the pivot to make it legal.
If the step through is a travel then every running layup or dunk would be a travel..Let me explain..So for someone who jumps off their left leg to go up for a right handed layup or dunk. They pick up their dribble after left foot hits the ground and then take their first step with their right foot then as they lift their left foot for their second step this makes their right foot their pivot foot which they of course lift from the ground as they jump off their left foot for the layup or dunk. Point proven :) Its the act of placing ones pivot foot back down after lifting it from the floor that is a travel or of course sliding or dragging it to gain an advantage is also a travel. Now to the person who said its a travel because if not then the person could just lift their pivot foot and just hop down the court on the ir other foot as long as they dont put pivot foot back down. Well thats why their is a rule that states you cannot jump off one foot and land back on the same foot.You can jump off one foot and land on both feet or the opposite foot but not on the same one you jumped from. hope that all makes sense. :)
Ok.. seems that you like and follow basketball but you have to realize that the stepthrough and the running layup/dunk are a totally different, meaning that they have different gathering principles. A stepthrough move is basically a stride stop and you can only do it properly if you release the ball before you lift your pivot foot otherwise its a travel. Now the gathering for the layup(for example right handed layup) is righ foot down-left down and up for the layup.
That has nothing to do with the stepthrough because the stepthrough is not a gathering process its a STOP( like jump stop/stride stop). Hope that helps.
This is totally wrong, you are allowed to lift what would be your pivot if you gather and finish with two steps to the basket. If you gather and come to a stop, pivoting off your pivot foot to the other side it is absolutely a travel if you let your pivot foot come off the ground. Basically if you are finishing a dribble you can take your pivot off the ground to take a layup (obviously) but if you plant your pivot and start moving around on it you have to jump off both feet at the same time for it to not be a travel.
Running is not allowed in the rules.
dabeastat 2007
bruh wrote an essay nobody wants to read that
Was 0-2 too. Lol not gonna lie this kinda makes me question my bball knowledge
HAHA, don't question anything. These were two tricky ones.
Go read about "Step 0"; basically if your foot is down when you're gathering, as long as it is in motion, then the next foot to come down becomes your pivot. So, your spin wouldn't be a travel, but once both feet come down you can't move them, but only to take a jump shot (i.e., no pivots).
The reason this exists is it is almost impossible to tell in real time whether a foot is on the ground when you gather, so that first "Step 0" gets a pass. If you happen to be off the ground when you gather then you don't get a Step 0.
I think the NBA and most of USA basketball has allowed this Step 0 for a long time (always?), but just recently it's been allowed in FIBA.
If you are landing from the same foot make sure it is from a PASS, like the gather step, it should be from a pass, not from picking up the dribble, FYI
here in spain , personally im using the 2 moves and usually i have been called for travel with the stepthrough but never been called travel with the yugo step
Bad refs then in FIBA yugo is travel and step through is legal
@@mcmerry2846 No, not bad referees... FIBA rule is worded slightly different... NBA rules say you "may raise your pivot foot"... FIBA rule says you "may jump off your pivot foot"... however both rule versions do say earlier that it is a travelling violation 'to lift the pivot foot with the other foot on the ground (other than the concession allowed for a player who is already in motion).'
NBA change their rules because current players lack of physical talents and height, back to Jordan，Kobe，T Mac , NO1 SG, they do not need extra step for the space. They just shoot on your face not matter what. For James Harden? he need extra 2 steps for the space.
your allowed to lift your pivot foot if your going to pass or shoot. but the rule also says you cant switch pivot feet. this implies that when they say your allowed to lift your pivot foot to pass or shoot they mean off two feet because jumping off your non pivot foot is switching pivot feet.
Wrong in the video he literally explains that theres an exception if u lift ur pivot to pass or shoot
@@MarcosCompost his explanation is stupid. It’s clearly a travel since he switched pivot foot. Derp.
Jumping off non pivot doesn't mean you switched pivot, if you put the pivot foot back down that's when the "switch" happens. If you're passing or shooting before that then you didn't switch your pivot.
@@nouahlevi it just seems wrong to be able to take another step/leap with your non-pivot foot to get closer to the basket or create more space cuz that counts as another step being made. Jumping off of both feet at the same time looks natural and not a travel.
but when you're going for 2 step lay up that's essentially whats you're doing. 1st step is your pivot and 2nd step is your non pivot foot. if lifting pivot foot = travel then 2 step lay up would be a travel.
if you noticed you do put your front foot down after picking up your pivot foot, that's a textbook travel. if you jump off of your pivot foot while lifting both feet for a shot or pass is NOT atravel
You're still switching pivots from a stop position. It is not a travel in the WNBA but is a travel in the NBA.
The only legal way to lift your pivot is to jump. If you lift your pivot and your other foot is down then you've switched pivots, which is a travel.
You get 2 steps from the moving position but only 1 step from the stop position.
I was 1 for 2 and I'm really spruced at that too. Great Series !! Good to know you can move your pivot foot if you don't bring it back down on a pass. Of course you can do it on a shot, but never thought or knew that. Sweet
Yeah I didn't either.
@@BallerBootCamp The reason you did not know is because you can't.
It all depends on how much money you make whether rules are enforced or not.
By this interpretation of the rules, you could get into a situation where you start to go for a shot or a pass, lift your pivot foot, but realize you have no shot/pass. So instead of leaving the ground from your "non-pivot" foot, you are left standing on one leg like a flamingo until you throw up your prayer or find somewhere to pass the ball.
Also, in the last demo you showed of this, you not only lift your pivot foot, first, but you have both feet off the ground for a bit before you land on and take off from your "non-pivot" foot. So in this interpretation, once you are stopped and establish a pivot foot, you can legally take a one-footed jump off your pivot foot in any direction you want, land on the "non-pivot" foot, stand there like a flamingo as long as you want. Then jump, again off that one foot. If this is the actual rule, we will see people developing a one-footed stepback.
I'm not arguing, because I've seen Lebron and Harden play hopskotch/Twister in the paint to this sort of tune. But in organized school basketball or on the playground where I grew up, this crap didn't float.
Yes you can do either
The up & under or step through is one of the most basic and fundamental moves in basketball. It's allowed for the same reason a layup is allowed: if it were illegal to lift your pivot foot to take an extra step then you couldn't do a simple layup either. What's happening in a layup is on the first step you're establishing your pivot foot, and you pick that foot up to take an extra step from which you shoot from. If that's allowed, the step through/up & under also has to be legal
@@Chilicoach Hey ChiliCoach. The rule used to be that once you stop and establish a pivot foot, the pivot foot must leave the ground last OR both feet must leave the ground at the same time...
The Hakeem Olajuwan happened. One of the greatest players ever. And because he was such a powerful and graceful and charismatic player, no one cared to blow a whistle when he blatantly stretched that rule. Even he attempted to make it look like he was at least TRYING to follow this rule...
Then James Harden happened. And here we are, today.
@mildyproductive9726. Everything you just said is you're own historical narrative that you have made up you're mind. The step through has ALWAYS been legal at all levels of basketball in the US. Hakeem made use of the existing rule. There was NEVER a rule that said hi have to jump off both feet. You always got two steps. The first foot to hit the ground after ending a dribble/catching a pass is always the designated pivot foot/step 1. Which means you get 1 more step. Lifting the pivot has never been a travel, because lifting a foot is not a step. Putting it DOWN is. Otherwise every layup would be a travel. Use basic logic. Also, when landing on two feet at the same time, this is called a two foot jumpstop, and the rule is that this landing is considered part of step 1, because you get to choose which foot you want as the pivot. Then the other foot can step through. You can shoot off two feet or step onto you're second foot and loft your pivot/step 1. You are wrong. This has nothing to do with the gather step or Harden. This is not remotely new, and has always been part of the game. It's very popular to repeat what you claim, but that narrative is just flat out wrong and historically incorrect.
@@Biggiiful
Hey. Go back and watch how Hakeem did it. He always jumped off both feet at the same time. Now he very clearly and consistently lifted his pivot foot just a hair before the other... but he kept it close. He wouldn't have done it like that if it was legal to lift your pivot foot, first. Actually, no one else got away with it as badly as even he did, in his era. Today's rules have clearly changed since then, at least in pro leagues.
Yes, a layup is also "illegally" lifting the pivot foot first. In high school ball our coach taught us that the layup was an exception to the rule, and that to qualify for this exception the second step had to smoothly continue from the first. The Eurostep was illegal even in the NBA, up until maybe the late 80's or early 90's, IIRC. As far as I know, the eurostep is still illegal in many high school leagues.
I legit just watched these two videos and had never seen either before. I started on this one and went back to the first when you said we should check that one out first
So I paused, watched the first and came back here. I went 2 for 2. I've never played organized basketball but have watched all my life and this is part of what irks me. There are other clear Nba travels the league doesn't see as well. Will check out more videos, good stuff. Keep up the content. Good stuff.
You were slightly incorrect. A player can yugo step if they delay the pickup of the dribble until the first step is off the floor.
The rule states you cannot touch with the same foot consecutively AFTER ending your dribble.
NBA Rule: “Upon ending his dribble or gaining control of the ball, a player may not touch the floor consecutively with the same foot (hop).”
FIBA Rule: “A player may not touch the court consecutively with the same foot or both feet after ending his/her dribble or gaining control of the ball.”
The second one is not a travel for sure. It used to be a travel though. However, basketball association changed the rule that ppl can lift their pivot foot and jump as long as they pass or shot before their feet touch the ground. They changed it to allow players to have more fancy move(not sure the exact reason). Don't be outdated guys.
2 for 2. The yugo to me is basically like a slow continuous hop step so I assumed it's a travel. For the step through, I'm watching the GS vs DAL game right now and Ian Clark just did a step through and no travel call.
the yugo isnt a travel cuz its slow though, its a travel cuz you cant hop and land using the same foot after ending your dribble
@@wat4504 I know that
@@Xdev1lG00D yes, i only clarified
On the ‘step through’ it’s a travel, not only if your pivot hits the ground again, but also if you lift your pivot off the ground while your non pivot is still touching the ground. Obviously you can’t pivot a few times like some sort of extended hesitation before finishing towards the rim with two steps.. this should be obvious to anyone.
two words LAY UP.....
I was 2 of 2 because I was a varsity and we were taught the right way of playing this great game of basketball. Unfortunately in streetball you could do everything you want. Everyone’s rule is a rule!!
I was 1-2 as per NBA rules but I still think I'm 2-2 because I coach highschool and watch more college. The college rule states if one foot is on the floor it is the pivot foot so in the second shot you changed pivot feet.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_(basketball)
Art. 5. After coming to a stop and establishing the pivot foot:
a. The pivot foot may be *lifted, but not returned to the playing court*, before the ball is released on a pass or *try for goal;*
b. The pivot foot shall not be lifted before the ball is released to start a dribble.
but the rule explicitly says the pivot may be lifted. Lifting your pivot does not constitute changing your pivot.
There’s no way you thought the step through was a travel bro
why? KG and payton thought it was a travel after playing in the NBA for almost 20 years each. why can't he think it's a travel? lol
@Aaron Neville official.nba.com/rule-no-10-violations-and-penalties/ Section XIII-Traveling
@Aaron Neville actually you're wrong, NBA, FIBA and NCAA allow you to step through...not a travel
First one isn't a travel because there's the gather step, then he takes two steps to the basket before finishing.
Second one is a travel if the rule where you have to jump off both feet at the same time when shooting once a pivot foot is established.
Thanks 👍
I appreciate your research and opening the discussion. The breakdown of Move 1 was great and made me understand how that Was a travel. I’m not convinced Move 2 is legal. Coming up, I was basically taught that move would be an extra step and essentially Changing Your Pivot after establishing a pivot, which is a travel. I’d never even teach this move because i can’t see a ref not calling it.
I'm pretty sure in fiba rules a 'step-through' move is a travel.
It's legal everywhere in the world in any league lmfao.
@@shadowwarsshadypeople6299 Idk where you heard that but you're badly mistaken. The Step thru is allowed in basketball everywhere. It's always been a fundamental part of the game and if the rules were to not allow a step throgh, then a simple layup would be impossible, because your first step of the two steps is establishing the pivot. So if you can't pick that foot up to take an extra step you can't do the most basic of basketball fundamentals
@@Chilicoach that is a very bad take and I’ll explain why. FIBA rulebook in paragraph 25 states that a progressing player may take two steps after a dribbel before coming to a stop, shoot or pass. So a layup cannot be a dribble cause your pivot foot is established on the second step. On the second step you JUMP OFF the pivot foot. In step through you do not jump off the pivot foot making the move illegal. FIBA rulebook is very short, read it!
In NBA rules do not require you to jump off the pivot foot, you are allowd to lift the pivot foot when going for a shot or a pass. So according to NBA rules it is not a travel, according to FIBA rules it is.
Exactly, most people are taught wrong. Lifting the pivot foot isnt switching pivots. Stop relying on what you learned in middle school and just read the rule book instead
Rule 4 - Section VIII
"If the player raises his pivot off the floor, he must pass or attempt a field goal before the foot is returned to the floor."
The spin move isn't a travel. The one area you got it wrong is what is considered the pick up. Initiating a spin isn't a pick up because a lot of times players initiate a spin and then put then continue dribble basically the spin dribble. So I don't think it's reasonable to conclude that initiating a spin is equivalent to picking up the ball. So if you don't make that assumption it isn't a travel because the opposite leg is a pivot. Also by that same reasoning that the pivot can't return you aren't allowed to take 2 steps because the second step is your pivot returning to the ground which by this line of reasoning is illegal.
Yugo-step is a travel. They both are travels. You can only lift your pivot if you jump... Not step. If you step you have switched pivots.
Who say that ? Canb you show me the rule which say that you can only lift the pivot by jumping the two feet at the same time ?
THE STEP THROUGH IS VERY CONTROVERSIAL! i have studied this move for many years in depth. and in the nba dirk has been doing it ala one foot stepback for 20 years and its not called a travel. do it off a spin move like he did it in the video and the ref will sometimes call a travel. do it ala step through and the ref will usually call a travel. I have rarely seen nba players use this as a stepthrough of the non pivot they usually stepthrough and jump off two feet.
2 for 2. also, that yugo step is being called a "hop travel" by the NBA refs now. i don't think it's a travel in FIBA, because you are correct is saying that they just started calling it a travel in the NBA within the last few years.
It is a travel in FIBA
Although i see you commented 5 years ago. I think the wording making the yugo illegal didn't come until 2017. But since then definitely illegal
I just learned the hop travel 2 weeks ago 😂 …. Thing is I’m pretty good at picking up on if moves are travels or not based on the NBA/Fiba gather step… so I thought the gather step took effect here but it doesn’t…
I definitely was arguing that the Yugo step was clean because of gather this and gather that… then I got schooled and have to retract everything I said on the Facebook post 😂 smh
Since the gather rule was introduced ..the simple rule of thumb ..both feet must not be grounded twice in the move .
And its pretty simple !
All of these instances are a Travel.
1.Jump from both feet and land on both feet.
2.ground both feet the twice after establashing a pivot foot once your dribble has ended
3. Jump off 1 foot and land on that same single foot
The step through is not a travel. The rules says it is only a travel if the pivot foot touch the floor again. This is how old school players did the up and under move that has been lost from the game. Lifting the pivot foot does not constitute a travel lifing the pivot and returning it to the floor does. So if you think a step through is a travel you dont know basketball. The yugo step is a travel because because of this same principle once you hop on a a foot and pick up the ball that is now your pivot. From this point if you take two steps you will be returning the pivot back to the floor making it a travel. So basically you are doing a tripple jump motion which is 3 steps.
I think the step through has to be travels if you leave off one foot. Or else you could do a move where you switch pivots by doing a step through. You said the rules say as long as the pivot does not touch the ground after you pick it up then it is not travels. Then you could do a step through and pick your pivot up and stand on one foot (the other foot) the now new pivot foot. Anyone get what I am saying? You could do a pretty dope move where you switch pivots, apparently without switching pivots. It has to be called travels as soon as the pivot leaves the ground if the other foot is still grounded. Its the only way it makes sense.
I get what you're saying, but you're wrong. Picking up the pivot foot(step 1) and standing on step 2 is not "switching the pivot foot." It's standing on step 2. A pivot foot is a foot you PIVOT on. You cannot physically pivot on step 2, because you are not legally allowed to put step 1 back down until you get rid of the ball by shooting or passing. You can stand on step 2 as long as you want, with step 1 raised on the air. That's not illegal and it is not establishing a new pivot foot. It's just the 2nd step of the two legal steps. Can't put step 1 which WAS you're pivot foot back down, because then that would be a 3rd step and WOULD be trying to establish step 2 as a second pivot. Step 2 is not a second pivot until you try to put step 1 back down before shooting or passing.
The yugo step is not a travel if the ball is picked up with both hands when the same foot hits the ground the second time (that counts as the gather step), the player could take up to 2 more steps after that according to the new rules.
Nope. Can't land on the same leg you jump off of. Doesn't matter when you gather the ball.
It's simple really
Yugo step is a travel according to the NBA rules but not a travel according to the rest of the world (FIBA etc).
Which is bit ridiculous due to the fact that we can see NBA players doing even more than regular 2 steps all the time.
I'm from ex Yugoslavia, we learnt that step in school, we called it extended two-step and it's perfectly legal. You can see players in Europe doing it all the time.
The second one is a travel even on Mars :D
I've always thought that was travel if done as you did in the video: If you stop yourself with a 2 steps arrest, you used up the 2 steps available without the dribble. So an additional step lifting the pivot foot would count as a third step. But if you stop yourself landing with both feet at the same time, then you can choose your pivot foot and use the remaining second step. This way for me make a lot more sense.
Lifting a foot is not a step. Putting foot down is a step. A step is a step. Why would lifting a foot ever be considered a step
@@MarcosCompost If you gather on a stop you are pivoting and steps with non-pivot foot are infinite until you lift pivot. You are pretty much saying pivoting is a travel dude. While pivoting the 2nd step is made by the foot that's on the ground after pivot is lifted, so after that you can't lift and put down non-pivot again, only jump and go for pass/shots
If u may not lift your pivot foot how can you do a lay up? Or post fadeaways and hooks? With 1 foot on the ground?
In europe the first one is travel cause you jumped with both legs and landed without shot. It does not matter that you made steps after. The second one is not travel cause you did nottwo steps and instead there is one step, pivot and second step, thats fine. Im here cause i cant understand whats going on right now in nba. I did not follow for quite a while and i see that they allow for way to much. I was looking for info if nba changed rules or what?
Edit, sory but the second one is travel too, you are acutally lifting pivot and making 3 steps.
here in the philippines yugo it's not a travel step coz it deffends to the referee on how if she or he sharp eyes lol
Slight variation: **I noticed you did this on your second clip of the step through** Can you step through, but instead of stepping, jumping off your pivot onto the other foot and going up to shoot without the pivot landing on the ground? If not, why?
Isn't that just a layup/ jump shot? It sounds legal to me. As long as you dont put your pivot back down, you can do whatever you want (pass or shoot)
How else are you gonna do a layup, euro step, pro hop?
MJ and Kobe use to do this step through move all the time. This move is so controversial because if you were to do it at the park or gym people would say travel and some people wouldn’t agree with the call
nope. You never really watched mj Kobe move. They always jump 2 feet together at the last step. Don’t claim mj Kobe use this step. They won’t take the credit. Watch the video with ur eyes!
not true. kobe would to it when doing his pump fake, spin on his left foot (pivot) then take a step with his right, lift his pivot and then shoot.
I havent seen your other video but on 2:54 i think you are wrong, you asked people to comment on that video, so people answered, they probably were discussing right?, i think that was a bit unnecesary
the first move is really a travel if you jump. it must be look like a jump but not a jump really you must stretch you arm with the ball up together with your first long step almost like your doing a stretch bend then take a second step to seal the defender behind you it must be a long step then finish with your freehand before the third steps lands on the ground
the first move is an injury prone move because you bend too much and the first step is the only one that makes be your body stable on the ground. and if the defender hits you because you tangled with the defender's foot or body contact is strong enough. it's really bad injury for your knees and ankles
but both move actually can be a traveling if didn't execute well or if the situation of the defensive form is not good for executing that kind of moves
There's more to travel than just the steps. . .would like to join efforts to explain rules in both portuguese ans spanish, 43 years in Officiating over 9k games!
Both are travels and of course depends on the refs. The step through if you lift both feet at same time to go for goal is legit. That's how Nike camp coaches teach you, and look at Kobe and lbjs, or shotmechanics clip on LBJ step through move. "If you don't lift both feet at same time is a travel"
lysluk Thank you... they're both TRAVELING violations
Yup, moreover, just right after the dribble on the step through, he already made a 1-2 step and then gone through for the basket, so the right foot was the pivot foot, and he just moved it again and laid it up...
@@フランス人の熊さん "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." That's straight from the NBA rule book bud rule 10, section 13, article D.
yugo step is travel because your 0 step is left foot and your 1 step is left foot again
I don't know if I'm wrong but the yogo step is a step to a right and then to the left.
Justin Justin Euro and Yugo r 2 different things :)
That step through you presented is an obvious travel and the rule you read about it does not contradict it. Yes, of course you can lift your pivot foot when passing or shooting, but you did not pass or shoot after lifting the pivot foot, instead you took another step toward the basket. So the very rule you read tells you you can’t do it. You can’t take an extra step after you lifted that foot as you clearly did. In other words, you jumped off your non-pivot foot way after the pivot foot was lifted. The only way such step through is not a travel is if you’re jumping of off both feet (or at least make an attempt for it to look that way).
Ffs the only reason theres a debate in the first place is because they keep changing rules that dont need changing, not to mention, if Fiba sticks with Nba rules we wouldn’t be as confused.
And the second move isnt a travel like most people say, you can lift your pivot foot and keep it up as long as you dont touch the ground with it.
I was 1 for 2. I didn't think the yugo step was a travel but *insert jingle* the more you know!
HAHA, insert jingle...
You can AlWays jump for a shot or pass Regardless of whether or not you picked your dribble up.. This is why I train my daughter Myself...
People keep say the step through your changing your oivot your not you have to pass it or shoot it. It is not a pivot foot is a jump foot. If you bring the pivot foot back down its a travel. You have to pass or shoot. So if you do a step though and dont pass or shoot its a travel.
Bro lookin like kengkoy with his moves 😂
2 for 2, the first one, my friends always used to do it and get called for it. Was kind of surprised that people said it wasn't a travel. Maybe in the euro league it's not, but idk. The second one is sketchy. When I was younger, always thought that was a travel, but I have seen a lot of NBA players do this (ie. Tony Parker) in previous years. In the NCAA, I have only seen players leave their pivot on the ground though.
The second is a travel. Obviously. And if you let all stars in the nba be your authority on what is and what isn’t a travel, then your reasoning sucks.
@@trueplayz2391 glad to see you figured out the second one is a travel. 5 years ago you said it wasn’t.
Today I went high to pump fake during my gather step. I completed the gather step by bouncing the ball, up from the right foot, pumped in the air, came down on the left. Gather step complete. 1,2. They said it was travelling...
it was
noooooooo, u are changing pivots! u can lift pivot, yes, but the foot on the ground is the pivot, so if you step on the other foot it's a travel. it's a misinterpretation. yes u can lift pivot, but u can't switch pivots. when the pivot is lifted, what do u call the other foot that is on the ground???
DaKoraqi Yeah I'm a huge fan but he's spreading misinformation.
he's not changing pivot feet. as long as he doesn't put his pivot foot back on the ground it is a legal move
The foot that stays on the ground is called his non pivot foot
Spreading misinformation. Lol. He is correct. You can use the non-pivot any way you like then lift the pivot as long as you released the ball before the latter hits the ground. Do you even listen to what he just said?
BILL GATES once u step through u have to jump of both feet once the other foot is off the ground and the other is still on then that’s changing pivots.. therefore travel
Yugo step is travelling. Jumping off and landing on the same foot is a travelling.
This is exactly why hardens step back is a travel bc his pivot foot returns to the ground then he shoots...fuckin makes me nuts that they don't call it. It's not fair he gets to take a huge extra step back bc of it.
Is it considered a travel when u lose the ball and go after it again
The Dopamine - and dribble again you mean. It’s not a travel to go after a lose ball u lost
NBA is a traveling league now. Gardens step back is a travel but because it’s makes game attractive they decided to allow. I just saw steph travel in game 3 at end of third quarter 3 ducking steps yet is legal.
According to your research, I was 1 for 1.
However...
YOUR RESEARCH IS WRONG!
The first move is not a travel either.
The video on nba.com IS NOT done the same as in your recreation.
The player(s) at nba.com are stopping their dribble while their foot is on the ground. You ended your dribble in the after AFTER the first hop. Look at the NBA traveling rule again. The first step count is not started until a foot touches the ground AFTER ending the dribble.
Here is a thought experiment...
Can you legally dribble downcourt while hopping on 1 foot?
If yes, why? If no, why not?
Think
First one doesn't seem like a travel but the step through.. i don't know man, it definetely looks and feels like a travel. I suggest you to don't take any risks with it and just jump with two feet in the direction you want to go.
Their both is traveling specially yugo step you cannot land on the same foot after picking up the ball, that is base on the rule book
Been doin the step through since I was a kid, ain’t never been called for a travel.
If you pump fake, go under the defender with a step with the left foot, while simotaneously jumping off that left and shooting the ball before you land with the right, not a travel.
The gather step is hard to master without traveling
Recently i have been asked to referee adult leagues with modified NBA rules...meaning that we dont have 3 refs and no def 3 or 5 sec back to basket...
I printed out all of the rules of the NBA and fine tooth combed them...
Straight away i knew which were travels and which werent...but there are some more rules that are more pressing than this...
Wouldnt wanna be a NBA ref in real life...
NBA refs have the easiest jobs on the planet
These didn’t even have to be explained
It seems like the rules have changed so much. These rules nowadays seem ridiculous. In my day you could only take one step and you couldn't bring down the next step or it was traveling. I don't care what anybody says, the eurostep should be a travel. These extra step moves is so unfair for the defense. Maybe that's why they score150 a game nowadays.
2-2 I actually knew the specific rules in regards to both. I still dont do the second move though just because it causes a lot of debate in pick up games and also a lot of refs arent familiar with the rule and call it a travel.
Yeah I agree. I would even go so far as to say that the step through will still get called even in high school ball.
yugo step is a travel, but I never get called on a pick up game
I've never seen someone smile so much. If I made fun of your cat, would you frown for me in the next video?? 😂 🐱 PS been a fan of this channel for a while
haha, I don't have a cat. Thanks for being a part of Baller Nation!
You cannot jump and land with the same foot that's a violation.
Damn.... i thought the second one was a travel and was telling my friend who does that all the time it’s a travel 💀
Abraham Colon same
The nba shouldn’t be talking about travels
Disagree with both. I'm calling step thru a travel if I'm officiating.
if it is questionable, its a travel that should sum it up guys.....
the euro step is taught all over europe and also spread to asia and africa...it's not a travel...
Can I stop on 2nd step while taking layup
Pass or shoot with 2 foot in the air... Rules Don t say that you can change pivot....
Your step thru is illegal. You need to jump off of both feet for it to be legal. If you don't you end up switching your pivot which is illegal
2 for 2..Guess I had it right all along - don't even watch/play much at all anymore but I always wondered why players travelled so much and it was never called 😂
The second is basicaly not a travel
step through is still a travel. The lifting of the pivot foot and landing is when you jump off the pivot. the rulebook also stats
.while standing with both feet on the floor
.The moment one foot is lifted, the other foot becomes the pivot foot.
you already established your pivot foot on your move, then with both feet still on the floor, lift your pivot which makes the step through leg by definition the new pivot. Changing pivots is travel doesn't matter how you interpret the lifting and landing rule.
Eric Myers exactly! TRAVEL
so if you step through and go for the layup off of both feet, lifting your pivot and the other foot at the same time, is it ok ? i just got called for this in my pickup league, and am trying to get to the bottom of it. thanks for the help in advance
@@TwoTenEast "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." Thats the rule from the NBA, essentially you can lift either foot or both but you must shoot or pass before either returns to the ground.
Yea but can you switch pivots? Cause that’s what you do in a step through
To switch pivots you would have to pick your first pivot up and then put it down. No you can't do that. In the video that's not what happens. The pivot doesn't come back down
They say Yugo-Step Is travel? But why?
Fundamentals of baskeball lost on younger generation? I'm 33 and learned to play basketball on the blacktops of 3rd grade and learned it from playing it with friends.
Don't want to sound high and mighty, but I learned the basics of travel from elementary friends. How is this so confusing for younger players?
You get one one pivot + one step. It's these damn fancy schmancy betties that confuses the damn rule with their 360 noscope euro ballerina layups. Step through is not travel, because left foot remained pivoted. The take off begins from the moment he lifts the left pivot foot followed by the right, which means he took two steps to the basket. No travel.
If you think about a running layup, it's always the pivot foot planted, then a step, then the layup. During the layup, the pivot foot gets lifted before the 2nd step. The step through is just exaggerated layup, but same principle, so Step through IS NOT a travel.
The two right foot steps doesn't mean he switched pivot, but rather, is allowed because that's what a pivot is for. He can pivot as many times as he wants as long as his left foot remains positioned. Nba players take advantage of the step through by lifting the pivot foot.
You're 2/2 on the correct travel rules. Keep the education going bro.
Watch the NBA and you'll be confused.
That's definitely a travel.
but since that step through is a fake and not in the motion of shooting wouldn't that be considered to be a travel?
People coming out with all these "new moves". They're travels! Just like how people do the "studder dribble"...NO! iT'S A CARRY!
jtreynol - you’re right
Even though the rule says it's not, since this video I've seen it called as a travel more than a few times in the NBA
a travel IS a travel! Don't make excuses, the NBA is a joke right now!
Why was it a travel before? Rules and laws change game is now harder to defend tho.
First one you jumped twice.
the step through is one of kobe bryant's move right?
Can someone please tell me is that rule about the step through for both nba and fiba ?
of course, the first one is a travel. When you jump off one foot and land on the same foot of course its the same foot
Lol you really thought the Eugo step was a move?
Both are legal now. Gotta put on a good show lol
this an amazing series please upload more.
hey is the step when u picked the ball up count as 1 step?
Under gather rule it is zero(etasblish pivot) 2 steps to follow but cant ground both feet twice in the entire process .
You also can not jump off 1 foot and land on the same single foot .but you can leave off 1 and jumpshot/prohop(samething)
No call travel for Yugo step if you use a zero step.
Thanks for the info. I was thinking the same thing as you at first ha. Now that I know the truth, I'll make sure to explain the correct way to certain moves. When get my first coaching job that is
There's cats going in trying to go pro that don't understand how the pivot foot works. I don't get that. I learned the rules in elementary fam, that's what we did at recess and after school and the weekends 🏀
I'm glad they made the Yugo Step illegal officially. It was ugly and caused arguments on courts all over the world lol
