Oh, it's clear the foot he's balancing on does not lose contact with the floor, so it cannot be a hop. And as a result, the rulebook has no prohibition against sliding the non pivot foot

Leave it to LaMelo Ball to break the NBA rulebook - where his delayed layup, which looked totally illegal, isn't actually covered by the rules at all... making it, dare I say, LEGAL?!?! You've gotta watch the whole breakdown, link: youtu.be/j_6pe2PzSB4

the WORST best game In NBA history YouTube video by BBALLBREAKDOWN

In today's breakdown, I needed Windy to help describe what was at stake in a game between tankers

The Hawks are the hottest team in the NBA, and since Trae Young was traded, it's unlocked The Beautiful Game. Their new starting 5 is by far the best in the NBA and I went into detail how NAW is benefitting the most with his new role. youtu.be/e8MVAnaAUKI

This Ohio State set was beautiful. Watch how the high post entry and weakside clear out... leaving the switching defender screwed. Breakdown of the best sets from Day 1: youtu.be/fFoCBCkZug0

JJ Redick's defensive strategy completely locked up KD in the 2nd half. Here's how they should've handled it.. link to full vid: youtu.be/UDSVXSZjQRs

Just check the mins played per game for the top Spurs players. Then realize that their OffRtg (117.7) ranks 4th while the starting 5's net rating is 2nd in the league (and will get a lot more minutes together in the playoffs. It's scary, really. Full vid:

Lots of Knicks fans were furious over this non call, but it's clear they were missing a key piece of information directly from the rulebook. Full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQqy...

I broke down the value to guarding Jokic with a guard and why he doesn't handle the physicality well from a psychological standpoint, including the piggy back ride on Keyonte George. This tactic can limit Jokic's overall production, but not his efficiency. FULL video here: youtu.be/FbsYwYMOMt0

I'm working on it!!

allowing the step thru? It's legal!!

lots of folks struggled with the proper rotations by the Lakers when the Suns great ball movement created a game winner. I went into detail to once and for all explain how a number of rotations are supposed to work. youtu.be/ehyr_wyNVrs

but what do you say to the fact that the gather step is utilized on half the layups in high school?

Austin Rivers: "There's that awkward footwork skill right there..."
Or more accurately, a travel as NBA players aren't allowed to gather with a foot down and then hop consecutively on that same foot.

That game winner last night was pretty lucky, too. Cannot believe how Illinois defended that

Players w/ no gravity can hurt your offense in subtle ways. Today's vid breaks down the 4 players w/ the worst gravity, based on the NBA's brand new stat.But the coaching staffs have figured out ways to integrate these "perimeter pariahs" into some good stuff as well. full vid: youtu.be/uqZ0cRCKLRQ

It's not just Coach Cronin's public disrespect for his players, the X's and O's can be a problem as well. Full video breakdown: youtu.be/knTaM4YcrZ8

Lost in the Cronin meltdown vs Mich St was his curious decision that led to the Jamerson foul. And no one noticed it til now. Please watch the full breakdown of his coaching at UCLA here: youtu.be/knTaM4YcrZ8

The 3PT Contest came down to one detail that you might not have even noticed. Link to full breakdown: youtu.be/KgKYDDtak5Y

Is Alperen Sengun Really Getting “Destroyed”? YouTube video by BBALLBREAKDOWN

Sengun’s defense is a far far better than anyone gives him credit for. Only @bballbreakdown.bsky.social knows. youtu.be/W5xOAE9hOWA?...

Ever notice that Jamal Murray's fingers are NOT in contact with the ball until it gets to chin height? You'll love the breakdown I'm going to release on the 3pt contest coming up today!

We got a viral clip of KD yelling at Sengun for not playing defense. So I had to go thru a thousand possessions to figure out whether he deserved getting called out by his teammate and his coach. Full breakdown here:

To get 35 points in only 25 mins, the defense has to cooperate, as Austin Reaves took full advantage. And with Luka out from a hammy injury, Reaves return couldn't have been better timed, as I broke down how he has to be the primary threat on offense: youtu.be/K2jiqOjUSOU

How will Harden work alongside Donovan Mitchell? I broke it down where they can pull the defense as wide as possible between these two and open up the floor for a Harden pull up.
Full video breakdown here: youtu.be/wvpNzGpshXo

If the first screen causes help from the screener's defender, it's likely the shooter comes clean off the second screen

And after that second screen, there's probably a good slip opportunity

The Spurs laid out the blueprint for shutting down the Rockets offense - even though Ime Udoka has ways to go against it like we saw in this possession. Full breakdown here: youtu.be/15WEN0Z1VK4

It looked more like chaos to me, and instead of praising the adjustment Mazzulla made, perhaps we should be wondering why he sent Amari Williams on the floor in the 1st place. Link to fill video: youtu.be/cn2HTuF2Pnc

There are lots of finger pointing right now around the Knicks so I dove into the footage to figure out why they're 2-9 in their last 11. Full breakdown: youtu.be/GQxgsN7hl18
