Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

USA-Greece Open Thread

lamar05

Wakey wakey! Halfway around the world, Team USA is about to tip off against Greece, so here we are with an a.m. game thread. I hope someone brought doughnuts.

This is Team USA's last friendly before the FIBA Worlds start for reals on Saturday. Despite lacking any NBA players, Greece is a quality opponent - most bookmakers have them as the third best team in the tournament, after the USA and Spain - and the game is in Athens, so there's no guarantee of a victory here. There is, however, a chance we get to see an awesome brawl possibly involving thrown chairs.

they're saying

“He lands first with his left foot on the step-back, making his left foot his pivot. Then he pivots with his right. That is a travel”

He could still use the right foot as pivot because when he stepped back, he haven’t used any yet, right? Landing on his left doesn’t mean it was his pivot, correct?

well...

he takes one dribble to the right, dribbles the ball behind his back, takes an extra dribble to take control of the ball so his pivot foot is his left one, fakes a shot, then when ginobili is in the air he takes two steps and gets up in the air to bank it off the glass. so, no i don’t think it is. at least not the way i see it.

even if it is, star players get away with this kind of stuff all the time. jordan did, lebron does (especially), kobe does, everyone does.

he didnt pivot on the right foot

he came off his left foot (pivot foot) and took 1 step forward with the right. I think again that is a legal NBA move as long as he released the ball/ didnt take another dribble but I am not 100% sure on this. The travel is pretty difficult to enforce in a fast paced game like this unless its blatantly obvious.

NEWSFLASH

I hate Fran Franschilla. I’m thinking about writing a letter to NBA.com about how bad his announcing is. I don’t want to get anyone fired, but he is terrible. He is down on our team at all times, never says anything positive and never raises his voice in a positive manner. I do not like his analysis, and he overdoes the “the other team isn’t trying” schtick. Seriously, this guy is bad for international ball. Nobody wants to hear that the other team isn’t trying. Nobody wants to hear the winning team repeatedly berated.
