Who else is here after Poole kept getting called for carries and Kerr basically confirmed the NBA sent out an email about changes in officiating? The front office has to be watching these videos 😭
This is such an important video. I'm glad you mentioned guys like Kobe who dominated because they had rock solid fundamentals, and not because they found ways to bend the rules. We the fans turn a blind eye to it because we love the game and our team, but like everything else the game has become corrupted in the name of profit. At some point you have to choose between the integrity of the game and it's entertainment value.
I'm from North Holland and I bought Nba2k yesterday and was very surprised I couldnt step back fake shoot - run past defenders like the nba idols always do. American sports are all for show
Agree completely with everything, just to add something tho, Kobe said himself that he memorized the rulebook so he knew when he could break the rules without refs noticing, stuff like that is what made him so special imo
I disagree that the game has been corrupted in the name of profit... It's changed because Iverson changed it, all these modern NBA is players working outside the paint looked up to AI, they all modeled their games after him, now you pair that with today's era of "it's the players league" the players are doing what they want, and getting what they want. It just so happens, what they want also increased viewers, and sales. Would you rather watch today's basketball, or 20 years ago basketball? And sure, that might be a toss up, based on bias to your favorite generation of players, but you can't tell me todays basketball doesn't have more flair, dunks, passes, and all the other things that get the fans excited. Now let's ask, todays basketball or the strictly fundamental 40 years ago ball? It's a no brainier... The game has been evolving for many years, it will continue to evolve. I will say though, it's unfortunate the game has evolved to "step back 3 pointers" fucking harden... Aint no god damn step back, it's like 3 steps back, Idgaf when you "gathered" that ball. 🤣

You truly are one of the best to ever do this my man. Every episode, you never disappoint. I really look forward to having you do this on a bigger stage because you will kill it! As always, a great watch!
I waited an entire month for this video and I couldn’t be more happy and impressed!! You’re my favorite channel on any platform because you’re informative and factually opinionated while bringing to light the material you’re presenting. Thank you for all your hard work man! 🙏🏼🤞
I searched Jxmmy's name a few hours ago just to make sure I hadn't missed an upload but there was nothing for a whole month. Makes me so happy to see this in my feed now!
Very well done, man. You're spot on. I'd also add how often Moving screens take place during a game. The 7ft-ers shimmy as they set the pick at the top of the arch...sometimes bodying the little guy, even though he initially had space to duck in front or behind...
This is by far and away the best video expressing the lax rules in The NBA... as a someone who actually enjoys to play defense and watch defense on a nightly basis.. the NBA game is doing a hell of a job in outlawing great defenders
@@isaiasquinonez4945 i like Jrue Holiday.. Tatum can lock players down, but his energy is more focused on the offensive side of the ball. Giannis is nice. But i know the game would be different if the NBA allowed more on ball chaos..
@@isaiasquinonez4945 Jonathan Isaac pre injury was my vote for best defender in the league. Laterally, vertically and his hands and timing are top tier. Was leading the league in blocks at one point... Jrue and Ben (GP2 honorable mention) are probably the best currently but watch out for Walker Kessler going forward
Great video, the only thing wrong is that you're allowed to take as many steps as you want between dribbles as long as you don't carry or stop your dribble. Sometimes carrying and taking more steps usually correlates but the Kemba walker example was entirely clean
And that MJ moment, it is a travel in Europe for example) rule book says you can lift your pivot foot to shoot and to pass, but you can not start dribble after that) it’s in the rules, but in US you can do that)
@@Dangic23 yea but what’s exactly “under the ball” where’s the exact angle on the ball where you can’t touch it without it being a carry? Or is it one of those up to the ref calls? Becus honestly a lot of these did look clean
@@Molniyamcqueen you actually can lift your pivot foot if you release the ball prior to the foot leaving the ground. Jordan caught the ball and didn’t start dribbling. He established his pivot foot and then jabbed right. Now before that left foot leaves the ground he has to release the ball. He can also shoot or pass as well. The rule you’re talking about is if you’re already dribbling and you stop and establish a pivot foot. Your only options are to pass or shoot once the pivot is released. That’s just fundamental basketball.
Great video. And you touched on something that a lot of people either forget about or don't realize at all. Professional sports, all professional sports, are, in order: 1. A business. Their primary goal is to make money. 2. Entertainment. 3. An athletic competition. And it's a distant third. They will do whatever makes them the most money, every time, because that's the real game they're playing.
THANK YOU for this video 🙏I come from Europe and everytime I watch the NBA I‘m thinking „Well, that‘s a travel… that‘s a travel… and that too“ It‘s really amazing that the normal basketball rules don‘t apply at this level, everybody is just interested in the spectacle, including the refs. At this point, just change the rules
I like that you mentioned the steps between each dribble. It’s a very grey area that isn’t talked about and it seems right now it just depends on how smooth you look while taking those extra steps.
because as long as your dribble is active, those steps aren't counted. Most plays in this video aren't travels (all of them are carrying tho). Jimmy just doesn't know what travelling is.
@@chrisguiducci6255 Not trying to sound stupid here or anything, but would that mean you could just spin across the entire court then as long as you dont carry the ball? Or am i missing something?
That was an excellent breakdown. Very thorough. I tried to explain this to some of the guys I hope with. They think I'm talking about the James harden move. I have to tell them that this happens regularly as soon as the action sits. That point about defenders thinking that they can close because the offense is out of steps is one of the most significant I've ever heard made. It really matters LOL
@@briskvy although that is true, lol thats a very odd way to put it and not fully the rule.. nor does it have to do with this video. yes youre allowed as many steps as youd like, in between dribbles, but only as long as the ball isnt touching your hand. so if youre basically pushing the ball in front of yourself and chasing it while you dribble, yea its fine.. but as soon as it touches your hand, you can not while its still making contact with your hand. thats what a travel is buddy. and thats what this video is about
@@gdirty7380 bs . It's not about touching the ball. If you put your palm under the ball on your dribble and walk them it's a travel and a carry. I could easily play happy feet taking 3-4 steps while making contact with the ball for 0.3 seconds . It's not a travel
What pops up is a high school rules interpretation piece. What you should instead lookup is the nba rulebook as the NBA is what we are discussing. There is NOTHING about steps in between a dribble or hand on the ball dribbles. Section 10, rule 2.
I know that there are many other comments like this, but your basketball content is the best I've ever seen. Even as a professional basketball player myself
Kobe, Jordan, and LeBron would not waste their time commenting on videos about themselves. If you're the real deal, you should stop running your mouth in the comments sections about your goals and what you're going to do and instead just focus on your craft, passion and building your legacy thru action
Love your videos Jimmy! Been watching for a couple years now and they're always an absolute blast to view. Thank you for continuing to make these, all throughout these years.
Thank you for finally making this video! As someone who prides themselves on defense while I worked forever on my hesi without carrying only to then see people just doing whatever, it's finally some recognition.
This video definitely caught the attention of the NBA. Steve Kerr even referenced Allen Iverson starting the trend of getting away with carries when he was talking about Jordan Poole being called for carries 3 times in his post game interview lol
Incredible video and thank you for arming me with the best reason I've heard for higher scoring today compared to back in the day. I will destroy people at parties with this knowledge you've bestowed upon me.
This video needs to be sent to Adam Silver along with all the NBA refs. This video is so refreshing. It’s painful watching nba games and seeing travels allll the time not being called. This is a great breakdown! Thank you Jimmy. Real basketball fans appreciate this.
GOAT basketball youtuber, there's a lot of people I watch for different sports and Jxmy is definitely one of if not the best of the bunch in analyzing and bringing an argument into an often needed conversation. Props.
I was just thinking about this after seeing some James Harden highlights this preseason, very timely video! I remember when I was in high school getting called for travels occasionally when I was just playing the way I saw NBA players were playing, it was so frustrating.
GOAT right here, just when you think he has done a master class video he does another one, this channel is just the gift that keeps on giving, Thank You Jxmyhighroller 🙏
I agree for most of this apart from some. Steps taken in between dribbles (be it 2,3,4,5 or however many) don't count as actual steps unless the ball is either gathered or carried.
Very very insightful & objective analysis. This video has definitely answered many of the lingering questions I had about the laxity in the rules of the NBA. Appreciated 👏🏾
Someone finally said it, thank you. That stepback is a travel, and I hate that it has become accepted as a legal move in the NBA and with so many people
@@seanaes Sounds like the dudes that couldn't play changed the game to be successful wtf you on about? Also, this isn't the NBA fk around enough you'll just get your legs cut🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
@@seanaes funny how so many players were exciting having to play within the rules. Just say you don’t care about rules as long as you find it “exciting”. It cheapens what current players are doing and allows the “old heads” to legitimately criticize such flagrant cheating. You should want the league to tighten that up.
Thank you. I have been saying to the youngbloods here in my neighborhood that this harden step back back move is a travel and these fancy handles they see now are carries back in the day.
I think its not about how many steps you take between dribbles but rather when you terminate your dribble is key. To which I completely agree that it is prevalent
Most of the time when players are taking that many steps between the dribble it’s because they have their hands directly or near directly under the basketball
yep! Really surprised Jxmy didn't know this fundamental rule. You can theoretically take as many steps as you want between legal dribbles. In fact, Poole had carried during those 4 steps. So the violation really wasn't the amount of steps between dribbles but whether a carry was used to accomplish this.
People always say that the offense in NBA is way better then the defense, well if we played by the rules then it would be way more balanced and a way better game to watch. Great video!
As it is true that Carries / travels happen all the time we cannot count steps before the ball is picked up. You can dribble stutter step 10 times then dribble again as long as you don’t carry and simply float the ball. There isn’t a rule to an exact number of steps you can take between dribbles.
This video opened my eyes, as a guy who wants to get better into playing basketball, I usually struggle with my dribbling and when I do the things like carry, I get called out and I get confused. I always thought how the players do it and even theorize that they grip the ball hard so that it stays in their hands. But now I see the truth, I will try to keep on getting better at the game
Fantastic video highlighting the blatant traveling and ignoring of NBA rules from players and officials. The ending statement was perfect. **Chef kiss**
every time jxmmy makes a video about officiating, the nba goes and does something shortly after. first it was the jump fakes being fouls, now they called 11 travels in golden state vs mavs what the hell is going on
For once? Old heads have raised a lot of good points. Players today are just as talented as ever, but the big difference is the rules are not being followed.
If you ignore how insufferable some old heads can be(at 41 I would be considered an old head and those guys even annoy me) and actually listen to what we say with an open mind, you'll quickly realize that we do bring up valid points. Y'all youngins like to pretend the game and players have evolved way more than they actually have, but in reality there are things people can do now that they couldn't back then. I dunno why y'all insist on acting like nothing has changed rules wise, but a lot has and the sooner you understand that the sooner you'll appreciate the past for what it was instead of constantly trying to make it live up to today. That probably won't sink in until you're older and you hear the young fans say the same stupid shit about this era we have to hear from y'all.
@@davidmartinez52420 Tbh it's annoying on both sides Some in my generation swear every player in the 80s & 90s would be terrible today and there are old heads that swear every player today would do bad if they played in the 80s & 90s But my opinion tho when it comes to athleticism it hasn't gotten that much better (in terms of vertical and speed) when Dominique Wilkins was doing insane windmills and Clyde Drexler dunking from damn near the free throw line in game. That's why I also think players like Jokic, Giannis, Embiid,etc would still be stars back then as well Some stars (past and present) would translate and adapt some won't be good if you switched eras But that's just my opinion tho and i respect yours
Raptors fan here, and I remember seeing the travel (honestly after the first bounce off the rim I was thinking it wasn't going in). Anyway, with 4.2 sec left in a game 7, though, someone would have to have lost a body part for a ref to stop the play. Also, as a Toronto sports fan, let us have that moment. We don't get many. Great upload, as always.
I feel you, but if the ref called it, it would be painful for you. If not, it would be painful for the opposing fans. So if it is gonna be painful either way for someone, why not be for the right one? 2 m it would be better not to get this chip and get 1 another time with or without Leonard. KL is one of the best and I have nothing against raptors, but how would you feel if Toronto lost a chip like that? Its wrong, i never want my team earn anything that she doesn't deserve. Toronto would eventually get a chip (as you already did) but could make it the right way. from where i come from fans doesn't even recognize a chip like that, we call it a monkey one, or paper one etc. Hope Toronto eventually get a clean chip some day that you all can be proud of, peace.
Did you see Jordan Poole get called for 3 Carry’s against Miami this week? That was weird. The whole time I was like, “I wonder if the refs watched this video and decided to randomly call carrying” 🤷♂️
Great video as usual jimmy, but being a ref I gotta say this, it's kinda useless to count steps between dribbles even if the players carries the ball because, in theory, a player can take as many steps as he wants with the exception that he dribbles again. Hoping I haven't botched it, keep up the amazing work cause I've been watching and loving your videos for years now and I can't stop
What do you mean even if he carries the ball. Wouldn't that by definition then be a violation. I believe the point was it has to be one or the other. Either The player doesn't dribble again and it's a travel or he does dribble again and it's cupping the ball. What he can't do is hold the ball in the air with his hand underneath it, take four steps and then dribble again. That has to be a violation, doesn't it?
@@marshallstacy6243 The point I'm trying to make is based on the steps he takes between dribbles and since while dribbling you can't travel by definition then it's useless to count steps
bro i’m glad you said something because a lot of times he would start counting steps for a travel but the player has yet to even gather the ball/ be in a position he can no longer continue a dribble legally. The carries are another problem but jimmy was pretty on point with those.
@@meechtree5795 I'm at 3:44 and I disagree with multiple calls. If we go by NBA rules / how the game is ACTUALLY officiated, including the gather step rule, the high school kid's move looked clean to me, and this Booker move is unclear because we can't see if his hand is under the ball or not when Jimmy starts counting but it looks like he doesn't gather until his '2' step foot is already down (which would be a gather 0-step) so he actually had an extra step to give rather than taking 3 steps. Jimmy needs to watch more BBALLBREAKDOWN harden apologia videos. I say apologia but I agree with the gather step enthusiasts.
This makes me appreciate defense even more! Guys like Draymond, kawhi, Marcus smart, Gianis, Wiggins etc have a tough job and still manage to lock up on many plays
For Kawhi at the start of the video I remember I lived in Canada and I was a hardcore Raptors fan however I didn’t live at Toronto so I watched on my TV as I saw the carry I was yelling “PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD REF DON’T SE THIS” me my dad and my brother were crying when it went in but our mom looked at us like we were crazy 😂
That ending on Iverson was an absolutely perfect way to end the video.
Honestly
Chills

Show this to the League… thank you for posting this! We needed it 😁
My 2 NBA pet peeves: Not calling travelling, not calling charging fouls. The game would be better if they enforced the rules as written.
As someone who loves seeing good, solid D work, I totally agree. I cheer more on a well done charge than yet another dunk.
Cookie jar foul and jumping into a airborne defender needs to be banned. Moving screens need to be called for once
I would love the game to be constant fouls
no the game wouldn’t.
Flopping bothers me more than both of the above. Floppers should get slapped with a 'T', even if they got fouled and are just exaggerating.
You truly are one of the best to ever do this my man. Every episode, you never disappoint. I really look forward to having you do this on a bigger stage because you will kill it! As always, a great watch!
I waited an entire month for this video and I couldn’t be more happy and impressed!! You’re my favorite channel on any platform because you’re informative and factually opinionated while bringing to light the material you’re presenting. Thank you for all your hard work man! 🙏🏼🤞
Been a month without Jimmy. But whenever he posts, he never disappoints.
Yea finally he uploads but whenever he does it's a good one
I searched Jxmmy's name a few hours ago just to make sure I hadn't missed an upload but there was nothing for a whole month. Makes me so happy to see this in my feed now!
@@oli.y same bro
Now i only uploads if he got sponsors i think
Oh really? How’d you know?
Very well done, man. You're spot on. I'd also add how often Moving screens take place during a game. The 7ft-ers shimmy as they set the pick at the top of the arch...sometimes bodying the little guy, even though he initially had space to duck in front or behind...
Steven Adams does this on practically every screen he sets. It is so annoying.
Watch Thinking basketball, he covered almost every rule changes through the years.
This is by far and away the best video expressing the lax rules in The NBA... as a someone who actually enjoys to play defense and watch defense on a nightly basis.. the NBA game is doing a hell of a job in outlawing great defenders
Who do you think is the best defensive all around player in the game?
@@isaiasquinonez4945 right now? Or ever?
@@isaiasquinonez4945 i like Jrue Holiday.. Tatum can lock players down, but his energy is more focused on the offensive side of the ball. Giannis is nice.
But i know the game would be different if the NBA allowed more on ball chaos..
@@isaiasquinonez4945 All time ? Gary Payton or Dennis Rodman. Present ? Jrue Holiday and Draymond Green.
@@isaiasquinonez4945 Jonathan Isaac pre injury was my vote for best defender in the league. Laterally, vertically and his hands and timing are top tier. Was leading the league in blocks at one point... Jrue and Ben (GP2 honorable mention) are probably the best currently but watch out for Walker Kessler going forward
Jimmy goes away for some time and comes back with a classic. The NBA needs to see this one.
Great video, the only thing wrong is that you're allowed to take as many steps as you want between dribbles as long as you don't carry or stop your dribble. Sometimes carrying and taking more steps usually correlates but the Kemba walker example was entirely clean
And that MJ moment, it is a travel in Europe for example) rule book says you can lift your pivot foot to shoot and to pass, but you can not start dribble after that) it’s in the rules, but in US you can do that)
If your hand gets under the ball, it’s a carry,
Even if you take zero steps
@@Dangic23 yea but what’s exactly “under the ball” where’s the exact angle on the ball where you can’t touch it without it being a carry? Or is it one of those up to the ref calls? Becus honestly a lot of these did look clean
@@calebd512 if any part of your hand is under the ball, like if your hand is angled upward at all thats a carry im pretty sure
@@Molniyamcqueen you actually can lift your pivot foot if you release the ball prior to the foot leaving the ground. Jordan caught the ball and didn’t start dribbling. He established his pivot foot and then jabbed right. Now before that left foot leaves the ground he has to release the ball. He can also shoot or pass as well.
The rule you’re talking about is if you’re already dribbling and you stop and establish a pivot foot. Your only options are to pass or shoot once the pivot is released. That’s just fundamental basketball.
The NBA saw your video and changed the rules tonight 😂
The ending with the commentator and the music is pure perfection. Brudda simply don't miss
Great video. And you touched on something that a lot of people either forget about or don't realize at all.
Professional sports, all professional sports, are, in order:
1. A business. Their primary goal is to make money.
2. Entertainment.
3. An athletic competition. And it's a distant third.
They will do whatever makes them the most money, every time, because that's the real game they're playing.
IM SO HYPED THE SEASON STARTED! THANK U JXMY FOR GETTING ME THROUGH THE OFFSEASON! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
niɡɡer👨🏾🌾
😊
This video got passed around the league office like a bad cold. I'm happy about it, game is always better when they call it by the book.
THANK YOU for this video 🙏I come from Europe and everytime I watch the NBA I‘m thinking „Well, that‘s a travel… that‘s a travel… and that too“ It‘s really amazing that the normal basketball rules don‘t apply at this level, everybody is just interested in the spectacle, including the refs. At this point, just change the rules
I like that you mentioned the steps between each dribble. It’s a very grey area that isn’t talked about and it seems right now it just depends on how smooth you look while taking those extra steps.
Is there like a 2 step max between dribbles too, or how does that work exactly? never really figured this out myself
@@kersengebakje-agenor9918 no limit to number of steps between dribbles in the rules.
because as long as your dribble is active, those steps aren't counted. Most plays in this video aren't travels (all of them are carrying tho). Jimmy just doesn't know what travelling is.
@@forgivezharion1261 ??????
@@chrisguiducci6255 Not trying to sound stupid here or anything, but would that mean you could just spin across the entire court then as long as you dont carry the ball? Or am i missing something?
Another great video brother 👏🏿 I love how you find ways to say what most of us are thinking while pointing out the things a lot of us miss 🔥
This video actually changed the officiating as of last night
I agree!
i can’t even express how much i love watching jimmy vids
That was an excellent breakdown. Very thorough. I tried to explain this to some of the guys I hope with. They think I'm talking about the James harden move. I have to tell them that this happens regularly as soon as the action sits. That point about defenders thinking that they can close because the offense is out of steps is one of the most significant I've ever heard made. It really matters LOL
You can take as many steps as you want as long as youre in your dribble, so you can take 10 steps in one dribble if you wanted to.
@@briskvy although that is true, lol thats a very odd way to put it and not fully the rule.. nor does it have to do with this video. yes youre allowed as many steps as youd like, in between dribbles, but only as long as the ball isnt touching your hand. so if youre basically pushing the ball in front of yourself and chasing it while you dribble, yea its fine.. but as soon as it touches your hand, you can not while its still making contact with your hand. thats what a travel is buddy. and thats what this video is about
@@gdirty7380 bs . It's not about touching the ball. If you put your palm under the ball on your dribble and walk them it's a travel and a carry.
I could easily play happy feet taking 3-4 steps while making contact with the ball for 0.3 seconds . It's not a travel
@@Fraudkovic look it up dude. Search how many steps are you allowed to take in between dribbles, and tell me what pops up.
What pops up is a high school rules interpretation piece.
What you should instead lookup is the nba rulebook as the NBA is what we are discussing. There is NOTHING about steps in between a dribble or hand on the ball dribbles. Section 10, rule 2.
I know that there are many other comments like this, but your basketball content is the best I've ever seen. Even as a professional basketball player myself
Whats up Vic
Woooowww, next MVP
Get yourself some voodoo to protect against injuries!!
Is this really Victor? Either way, you are correct.
Kobe, Jordan, and LeBron would not waste their time commenting on videos about themselves. If you're the real deal, you should stop running your mouth in the comments sections about your goals and what you're going to do and instead just focus on your craft, passion and building your legacy thru action
Youve really made a whole movement with this video. Good Job!
Bro the speech at the end with the editing was too tier Jesus Christ I felt every word the reporter said on a spiritual level
Love your videos Jimmy! Been watching for a couple years now and they're always an absolute blast to view. Thank you for continuing to make these, all throughout these years.
Thank you for finally making this video! As someone who prides themselves on defense while I worked forever on my hesi without carrying only to then see people just doing whatever, it's finally some recognition.
as a kid i kept getting called with this one week in games, and it made me so self concious when practicing ball handling
Facts same
It’s good to engrave in your muscle memory to avoid getting penalised. Although it does get annoying getting called for it in a game
This video definitely caught the attention of the NBA. Steve Kerr even referenced Allen Iverson starting the trend of getting away with carries when he was talking about Jordan Poole being called for carries 3 times in his post game interview lol
Incredible video and thank you for arming me with the best reason I've heard for higher scoring today compared to back in the day. I will destroy people at parties with this knowledge you've bestowed upon me.
The way you make these videos is amazing. Very entertaining and easy to stay focused to. I learn quite alot about basketball from you as a racing fan!
Thanks man for the basketball content that is fans love and need
This video needs to be sent to Adam Silver along with all the NBA refs. This video is so refreshing. It’s painful watching nba games and seeing travels allll the time not being called. This is a great breakdown! Thank you Jimmy. Real basketball fans appreciate this.
I mean he is off on some of the things he is calling out. Also the league wants this. Makes the games more exciting
the only problem is the carries, the travels jimmy is calling is nosense, you can take asmany steps as you like as long as the dribble is ACTIVE
They know and don't care because it's entertaining. It's the same reason the NBA invented the gather step.
Netflix Untold: Flagrant Foul explains why refs are letting star players break rules and why they didn't on AI.
@@withaustn3463 And he just ignores gather steps
GOAT basketball youtuber, there's a lot of people I watch for different sports and Jxmy is definitely one of if not the best of the bunch in analyzing and bringing an argument into an often needed conversation. Props.
Fraudsters in the commentaries xD
Love to see the male on male stroking, its everywhere
Top notch video about something I thought about for a long time. You illustrated your point beautifully with exquisite editing and commentary.
Once again superb quality and editing. There isn’t a better basketball channel in the world today than this one!
I was just thinking about this after seeing some James Harden highlights this preseason, very timely video! I remember when I was in high school getting called for travels occasionally when I was just playing the way I saw NBA players were playing, it was so frustrating.
That’s ending gave me chills! Great video as always.
Bro your content is on Netflix level documentary. The ending was absolute cherry on top!
This video is a leap for you. Really looking forward to what you give us next. Take your time.
GOAT right here, just when you think he has done a master class video he does another one, this channel is just the gift that keeps on giving, Thank You Jxmyhighroller 🙏
10:35 that transition thooooo
great editing as always jimmy
refs mustve watched your video or something cuz they called it on jordan poole 3 times lmaooo
I agree for most of this apart from some. Steps taken in between dribbles (be it 2,3,4,5 or however many) don't count as actual steps unless the ball is either gathered or carried.
Thank you finally someone thats pointing this out
Very very insightful & objective analysis.
This video has definitely answered many of the lingering questions I had about the laxity in the rules of the NBA.
Appreciated 👏🏾
Someone finally said it, thank you. That stepback is a travel, and I hate that it has become accepted as a legal move in the NBA and with so many people
Sounds like you can’t hoop. The game would be far less exciting and the refs would take over the game
@@seanaes You're 100% right, my entire life I hear travel complains and these kinds of opinions from people who can't play lol
@@seanaes Completely cheapens the sport and makes everything mean a lot less.
@@seanaes Sounds like the dudes that couldn't play changed the game to be successful wtf you on about? Also, this isn't the NBA fk around enough you'll just get your legs cut🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
@@seanaes funny how so many players were exciting having to play within the rules. Just say you don’t care about rules as long as you find it “exciting”. It cheapens what current players are doing and allows the “old heads” to legitimately criticize such flagrant cheating. You should want the league to tighten that up.
Kyrie Irving traveled when he said completely clean go back and look he took 3 steps after picking up his dribble
Thank you. I have been saying to the youngbloods here in my neighborhood that this harden step back back move is a travel and these fancy handles they see now are carries back in the day.
Keep on preaching cuz they need to learn basketball rules, not NBA rules!
Just watched then Jordan Poole got called 3 times in a game for this 😂
Iverson is right up there with Curry when talking about players that changed the game. He was so influencal both on and off the court
the fact that this ended with Iverson being an innovator and trailblazer made this video so much better💯💯💯🙌🏾
Embiid's movement on that chart at 11:40 speaks volumes
I think its not about how many steps you take between dribbles but rather when you terminate your dribble is key. To which I completely agree that it is prevalent
Most of the time when players are taking that many steps between the dribble it’s because they have their hands directly or near directly under the basketball
Yah idk why jimmy is counting steps between live dribbles. If that was the case stutter steps would be illegal
yep! Really surprised Jxmy didn't know this fundamental rule. You can theoretically take as many steps as you want between legal dribbles. In fact, Poole had carried during those 4 steps. So the violation really wasn't the amount of steps between dribbles but whether a carry was used to accomplish this.
they should fix this comment lol
Hopefully, other people see this comment. This needs to be seen, this was a pretty big mistake by Jimmy.
People always say that the offense in NBA is way better then the defense, well if we played by the rules then it would be way more balanced and a way better game to watch. Great video!
After this Vid Everybody is being called for traveling 😂😂😂😂
That ending commentary. Dude spitting corporate facts, surprised he wasn't fired.
As it is true that Carries / travels happen all the time we cannot count steps before the ball is picked up. You can dribble stutter step 10 times then dribble again as long as you don’t carry and simply float the ball. There isn’t a rule to an exact number of steps you can take between dribbles.
yeah thats what i mean also, as long as you can palm the ball not leading to carry, you can take many steps as you want.
The nba watching your videos bro lmaoooo
This video opened my eyes, as a guy who wants to get better into playing basketball, I usually struggle with my dribbling and when I do the things like carry, I get called out and I get confused. I always thought how the players do it and even theorize that they grip the ball hard so that it stays in their hands. But now I see the truth, I will try to keep on getting better at the game
Fax
Ever since this video came out, refs been calling Carrys left and right lmao
The ending was fantastic, great way to emphasize the problem or more like premonition
Jimmy makes our day better whenever he uploads ✊🏾
Fantastic video highlighting the blatant traveling and ignoring of NBA rules from players and officials. The ending statement was perfect. **Chef kiss**
every time jxmmy makes a video about officiating, the nba goes and does something shortly after. first it was the jump fakes being fouls, now they called 11 travels in golden state vs mavs
what the hell is going on
Thanks Jxmy for kicking off Friday on a good note
Jxmy!! This is the best 1 yet!!!
😂😂😂
5:38 Clarkson was so confused counting all those steps and moves. That's why he fell.
Makes sense now.
Look! You made this video and now the NBA is having massive problems over the officiating. Thanks Jim.
you know it’s a good video when it makes the old heads seem reasonable for once 😅
I won 😦🤝
For once? Old heads have raised a lot of good points. Players today are just as talented as ever, but the big difference is the rules are not being followed.
U mean they want there to b reasonable rules so it’s not a flop off mixed with a and 1 mixtape and 3 pt contest
If you ignore how insufferable some old heads can be(at 41 I would be considered an old head and those guys even annoy me) and actually listen to what we say with an open mind, you'll quickly realize that we do bring up valid points. Y'all youngins like to pretend the game and players have evolved way more than they actually have, but in reality there are things people can do now that they couldn't back then. I dunno why y'all insist on acting like nothing has changed rules wise, but a lot has and the sooner you understand that the sooner you'll appreciate the past for what it was instead of constantly trying to make it live up to today. That probably won't sink in until you're older and you hear the young fans say the same stupid shit about this era we have to hear from y'all.
@@davidmartinez52420 Tbh it's annoying on both sides
Some in my generation swear every player in the 80s & 90s would be terrible today and there are old heads that swear every player today would do bad if they played in the 80s & 90s
But my opinion tho when it comes to athleticism it hasn't gotten that much better (in terms of vertical and speed) when Dominique Wilkins was doing insane windmills and Clyde Drexler dunking from damn near the free throw line in game.
That's why I also think players like Jokic, Giannis, Embiid,etc would still be stars back then as well
Some stars (past and present) would translate and adapt some won't be good if you switched eras
But that's just my opinion tho and i respect yours
jimmys uploads always put a smile to my face 😌
niɡɡer👨🏾🌾
Ain’t no way you got the nba to change the rules lol
JxmyHighroller, thank you for being my inspiration.
Raptors fan here, and I remember seeing the travel (honestly after the first bounce off the rim I was thinking it wasn't going in). Anyway, with 4.2 sec left in a game 7, though, someone would have to have lost a body part for a ref to stop the play. Also, as a Toronto sports fan, let us have that moment. We don't get many.
Great upload, as always.
I’m a Philly sports fan and my whole family was screaming when they didn’t call the travel and I didn’t think it was going in either
For real tho toronto sports has experienced nothing but pain since that chip run
I feel you, but if the ref called it, it would be painful for you. If not, it would be painful for the opposing fans. So if it is gonna be painful either way for someone, why not be for the right one? 2 m it would be better not to get this chip and get 1 another time with or without Leonard. KL is one of the best and I have nothing against raptors, but how would you feel if Toronto lost a chip like that? Its wrong, i never want my team earn anything that she doesn't deserve. Toronto would eventually get a chip (as you already did) but could make it the right way. from where i come from fans doesn't even recognize a chip like that, we call it a monkey one, or paper one etc. Hope Toronto eventually get a clean chip some day that you all can be proud of, peace.
Did you see Jordan Poole get called for 3 Carry’s against Miami this week? That was weird. The whole time I was like, “I wonder if the refs watched this video and decided to randomly call carrying” 🤷♂️
I swear this man changes my whole perspective on basketball every video 😂
This video should be shown to every basketball fan in the world.
Great video as usual jimmy, but being a ref I gotta say this, it's kinda useless to count steps between dribbles even if the players carries the ball because, in theory, a player can take as many steps as he wants with the exception that he dribbles again.
Hoping I haven't botched it, keep up the amazing work cause I've been watching and loving your videos for years now and I can't stop
What do you mean even if he carries the ball. Wouldn't that by definition then be a violation. I believe the point was it has to be one or the other. Either The player doesn't dribble again and it's a travel or he does dribble again and it's cupping the ball. What he can't do is hold the ball in the air with his hand underneath it, take four steps and then dribble again. That has to be a violation, doesn't it?
@@marshallstacy6243 The point I'm trying to make is based on the steps he takes between dribbles and since while dribbling you can't travel by definition then it's useless to count steps
Yes, you can stutter step as long as you are still dribbling but carry should not be excused.
bro i’m glad you said something because a lot of times he would start counting steps for a travel but the player has yet to even gather the ball/ be in a position he can no longer continue a dribble legally.
The carries are another problem but jimmy was pretty on point with those.
@@meechtree5795 I'm at 3:44 and I disagree with multiple calls. If we go by NBA rules / how the game is ACTUALLY officiated, including the gather step rule, the high school kid's move looked clean to me, and this Booker move is unclear because we can't see if his hand is under the ball or not when Jimmy starts counting but it looks like he doesn't gather until his '2' step foot is already down (which would be a gather 0-step) so he actually had an extra step to give rather than taking 3 steps. Jimmy needs to watch more BBALLBREAKDOWN harden apologia videos. I say apologia but I agree with the gather step enthusiasts.
The final part of this video is what separates Jimmy from the rest of NBA community. GOAT.
Wow it just shows me that kobe really was skilled asf man…Rip mamba we miss you 🐐
As always, a masterpiece! Greets from Poland!
This makes me appreciate defense even more! Guys like Draymond, kawhi, Marcus smart, Gianis, Wiggins etc have a tough job and still manage to lock up on many plays
12:48 that free throw was so clean
For Kawhi at the start of the video I remember I lived in Canada and I was a hardcore Raptors fan however I didn’t live at Toronto so I watched on my TV as I saw the carry I was yelling “PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD REF DON’T SE THIS” me my dad and my brother were crying when it went in but our mom looked at us like we were crazy 😂
Another stunner of a video. 👏👏
I swear these refs have been calling more travel violations since this dropped T_T
