Mickey McAllister @mcaliente21 · 17h It looks awful but it’s clean. Close call on the carry but he’s allowed as many steps as he wants in a dribble and then after the gather he gets a long pivot and another step. Optics are bad but it’s a basket. |

Date: May 29th, 2025 7:28 AM Author: Tripping sepia school cafeteria first isn't a carry unless his hand goes al the way underneath the ball. It didn't, so until he picks up his dribble, he can take as many steps as he wants.
He clearly took an extra step and traveled going for the layup.
More importantly, if you actually watch the NBA as opposed to cherry picked 5 second clips, you'd know the plays are far more athletic and skilled than they were in any prior era. How about we post pics of the average play from any random game in like 1984 and compare it to today. |

Date: May 29th, 2025 7:30 AM Author: Tripping sepia school cafeteria From the NBA Rulebook:
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.
EDIT: so even if his hand went under the ball during the dribble, he didn't carry the ball or bring it to a pause while his hand was under it. He clearly moves his hand to the side of the ball before changing directions.

Date: May 29th, 2025 11:30 AM Author: fighting keepsake machete giraffe Agreed on all counts. However, if this were the 70’s or 80’s they would have called a carry. Old highlights can look jarring with the players dribbling straight up and down and hand underneath or on the side of the ball.

Date: May 29th, 2025 12:23 PM Author: shimmering stirring resort Better question: For a sport where the object is to shoot a ball into a basket, why were players in the 80s and 90s so objectively bad at shooting from outside the paint?
their FG% was abysmal outside of layups and hook shots from 3 ft away |

Date: May 29th, 2025 12:26 PM Author: Adventurous Field Seems to be about the same actually https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_stats_per_game.html |
|
Date: May 29th, 2025 12:31 PM Author: shimmering stirring resort FG% from midrange and 3pt shot is not the same as FG% from layups.
But look at 3pt shooting % in the 80s and 90s back when it was even closer to the net. |

Date: May 29th, 2025 12:33 PM Author: Adventurous Field Probably because players couldn't travel and carry, while having to shoot over defenders who could hand check (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5730925&forum_id=2],#48970871) |

Date: May 29th, 2025 12:29 PM Author: Silver site kitty cat Look at Jordan footage from the 90s. He had no space to take a shot, had to weave through multiple defenders while getting hacked and dribbling every step to the paint, or had to do some ridiculous pump fake while fingering the ball one-handed, or literally invent a step back jumper move to get any separation (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5730925&forum_id=2],#48970851) |

Date: May 29th, 2025 12:42 PM Author: ivory swollen crackhouse the training available + global talent pool + kids specializing in the sport earlier = today's players are overall more skilled.
a couple of weekends ago i had 4 nba range 3's shot over me. the shooter was a 2031 kid my son played against like 3yrs ago. going into 7th grade this kid already has nba range and a reliable, in-game pull up jumper; this is not uncommon.

Date: May 29th, 2025 12:24 PM Author: twinkling comical mad-dog skullcap stain There are multiple fouls by the standards that most xoers grew up playing with and watching
In modern nba travel/carry basically aren't called, some autist lawyers will go "ack-shully, the rules say xyz so it isn't illegal" but the real answer is the nba just doesn't give a shit about these fouls anymore |

|
Date: May 29th, 2025 12:29 PM Author: shimmering stirring resort There's some truth in this.
NBA does not want to disrupt the flow of the game with breaks every 10 seconds for ticks tack fouls. Watching teams trade buckets back and forth is a far more entertaining product than a free throw contest.
Look at how shitty the MLB product is these days with all the breaks and interruptions between pitches. Even the pitch clock doesn't help. Millennials and gen Z with their short attention spans have no tolerance for this bullshit |

Date: May 29th, 2025 12:32 PM Author: rebellious pisswyrm "NBA does not want to disrupt the flow of the game with breaks every 10 seconds for ticks tack fouls."
Yet they've done nothing to improve the unwatchable nature of the last minute of games and have somehow actually made it worse with challenges and automatic review of out of bounds calls. |
