The amount of people who don't travel rules is crazy. Like I get it. But how can you be so confidentially incorrect. This isn't a travel
Because the rules used to be different
Exactly. Back in the day, if you even spun the pivot foot too much, it’d be a travel. It’s gotten looser and looser as the game has evolved. Whether that’s a good or a bad thing, idk. I’m just saying that when I was a kid learning to play in the ‘90s from guys that learned to play in the ‘50s to ‘80s, that’s how I was taught.
Ditto for palming the ball. Allen Iverson and everyone after him wouldn’t have gotten away with most of their crossovers and hesi moves pre-‘90s. That’s a big part of why we think the old clips from the ‘50s and ‘60s look so goofy — they had much stricter enforcement of stricter rules.
