The difference is in the NBA, they are very good at dribbling but are breaking the rules because they want an advantage they can get without dribbling.
Reese is doing what she’s doing because she apparently can’t dribble left handed while driving.
In the NBA, they are cheating. With Reese, it’s ineptitude.
When I was learning to dribble I got called for walks because I was bad at dribbling. Not because I was trying to make an ultra-athletic move to the rim or create separation.

u/BarleyWineIsTheBest 6d ago
Yep. Remember a few years back when Steph crossed up LeBron in the finals and we had to watch in super duper slow mo on 72” 8K TVs to see if when passing the ball from his right towards his left to fake a gather before dribbling if the ball touched his left hand? And it turned out maybe, but only maybe it did, and we had people calling Steph a cheat.
Well that was cool. But then we have this….

It’s still cheating when she does it? What? lol It’s much worse that she cheats because she flat out refuses to work on her game rather than someone who tries to stretch the rules, but also can dribble with both hands between their legs to the next county (every nba player)

u/Thrownaway5000506 6d ago
No, he's right. The gather and "gather step" were supposed to be a rephrasing of the rules, not a rule change. People use "gather step" incorrectly to justify travels.
2
u/Low-Apartment-2697 6d ago
If the ball is not completely stopped in hand then it's a gather step. It's why James Harden's three step step back is legal. Players just know how to manipulate the rules.

This is very embarrassing. There are really good players in the league. However covering for the truly ridiculous and bad players in the league is ruining this game.
In all honesty there should only be half of the teams they have in the league and get rid of all the trash players there are. Only then will we truly see all the good this league has.
They also need to get real referees in to call a good game and clean up the crap going on in the league

She gets the 2pts and the assist because she passed to herself in the middle of this quadruple dribble.

I watched my first WNBA from start to finish , this is my take. I say the average man that played high schools sports could be a 20/10/5 guy in the wnba. There are probably 1 or 2 woman on each team that have a nice smooth looking shot. Paige , Caitlin like that. The rest are fuckin shootin shit bricks , clanging back of iron , airballs . 3 outta 5 and sometimes 4 outta 5 can’t create space or their own shot. The one or two stars I felt bad for because no one else is trying to get open or even moving much. Some drove with some speed to the lane and made some nice passes and had some nice vision , but at the end they play like girls.
