    Yes you are my boy..


    I love that everywhere I see this posted there are a bunch of dumbasses yelling "4 steps, 5 steps, travel!"  I see 2.  You could say 3 but the first is practically simultaneous with picking up the ball.
    3 steps.  I see that for sure.
    Yeah I can see that. Definitely isn't 4 or 5 though!
    The NBA has given players that "transition" step for a while now.
    Transition "steps". Kind of hard to play D vs. that. Also, why can't guys in the post get this transition step? Big guys always get screwed.
    Euro step baby!

    Euro Step?. Bob Cousy was probably making that move when he played. 
    He wasn't.  Watch some old footage and you'll see some cool ass passes though.
    Maybe he didn't, and i wasn't able to watch all of his games he played back then>LOL, but you'd have to think that some players were doing it around then or by the 60's?

    I know what you mean.  It wasn't nearly as exaggerated as it is now.  Hell, Cousy was no lookin' way before Pistol Pete was.

    The only thing that was really introduced in the modern era of basketball is the crossover.  That move has morphed into some serious carrying.  Watch the guy "hot sauce"  or "the Professor" on youtube, it's streetball but the kids go crazy for it.

    Professors old logo even has him carrying the ball, lol.

    Ummm, do you think that Lebron is picking his allstar team as a recruitment tool?

    The NBA has turned into such a joke.  So much drama with all the cryptic tweets and instagram stories.  Feels like people get more excited about trades and offseason moves than the actual games.  And then the Warriors will just win it all again.  Rinse and repeat.

    Indeed. Part of my satisfaction of being a Pacers fan is that no one gives a shit about us!  I can just watch the games and enjoy some hoops.

    Yeah but Lebrons team is a who's who of free agency and trade rumors...

    Irving went down last night, don’t know if the injury is bad but Celtics will probably be better without him.

    The whole thing with filming athletes walking into buildings is dumb enough to begin with. Then they go and wear ridiculous shit like construction outfits.

    I love it!  Though it's not the MTA approved style breakaway vest that we are required to wear but hey, he's from OKC and not the tri-state area so he gets a free pass.

    Lakers-Sixers game.

    Where did the defense go?

    So I've been watching Lebron since day 1 in the league and the last 2 years since he won the Cavs a championship I've noticed his defense declining.  He used to be on top of everything and now he is not.

    Anyone else notice this?

    Oh yeah Embiid looked really good too.
