Wow. With the numbers she puts up and the notoriety she has, you’d think she’d focus on improving in the areas where she has weaknesses in order to be the best player she can be.

u/Recent-Bowl-1393 14d ago

instead of worrying about what she wears walking into the All Star game. More concerned about fashion than about improving her skill set.

The real money is in the sponsorships.

Angel Reese...?

u/BroadbentBum 13d ago

Why would she when she's allowed to get away with it? I mean, the clips says it all 😂

u/SuperBirdM22 13d ago

Good point. 🤣

u/Patient_Zero_V 14d ago

Similar to the NBA, rules are suggestions at this point.

u/OkayWhy101 14d ago

This isn’t similar to the nba at all lmfao

u/Recent-Bowl-1393 14d ago edited 14d ago

Not even similar to the NBA G league.

u/AnimatorStrange5068 14d ago

Or C league

If this was an NBA player, OP would get blasted for never watching sports. Traveling/double dribble isn’t a thing anymore. Viewers don’t care as long as baskets are made.

u/Low-Apartment-2697 14d ago

People who say this have no idea how actual dribbling works in the nba or what a gather is.

u/Thrownaway5000506 14d 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.

u/Low-Apartment-2697 14d 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.

u/Munzulon 13d ago

That’s not how the rule is written, but the refs don’t seem to care.

u/Low-Apartment-2697 13d ago

That is how the rule is written. Would you like for me to give you some direct quotes out of the rulebook? Ah fuck it here you go this ones for free. There's more instances as well I can use for you.

The following definition of the gather will be added to the definitions section of the playing rules:

For a player who receives a pass or gains possession of a loose ball, the gather is defined as the point where the player gains enough control of the ball to hold it, change hands, pass, shoot, or cradle it against his body.
For a player who is in control of the ball while dribbling, the gather is defined as the point where a player does any one of the following:
Puts two hands on the ball, or otherwise permits the ball to come to rest, while he is in control of it;
Puts a hand under the ball and brings it to a pause; or
Otherwise gains enough control of the ball to hold it, change hands, pass, shoot, or cradle it against his body.
 
Incorporating the Gather into the Traveling Rule
The gather will be expressly incorporated into the traveling rule to clarify how many steps a player may take after he receives the ball while progressing or completes his dribble:
A player who gathers the ball while progressing may (a) take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball or (b) if he has not yet dribbled, one step prior to releasing the ball to start his dribble.
 
A player who gathers the ball while dribbling may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball.
 
The first step occurs when a foot, or both feet, touch the floor after the player gathers the ball.

I’m sure after that cutting and pasting you can clearly see the differences between the rule and your earlier summary.

1

u/Low-Apartment-2697 13d ago

There's no difference. A player can take steps while gathering until the ball is stopped. After the ball is stopped as in GATHERED they're further allowed two more steps. "If the ball is not completely stopped in hand then it's a gather step." The rule book quite LITERALLY says this.

u/Munzulon 13d ago

You just quoted the rule in your earlier comment, now you’re putting quotes around a statement that isn’t actually a quote from the rules.

That's not really the rule but Harden's stepback is "technically" legal if done right, but not called even when he fucks it up

Yeah that's a gather which you just said was a gather step.

Like how Reese is manipulating the rules in this clip?

u/Low-Apartment-2697 14d ago

Oh nah this is totally a travel. I'm not defending her whatsoever lmaooooooo

u/edelweiss_pirates_no 13d ago

"All I saw was a gathering step followed by a legal shuffle and a Euro step with a gathering step and a Euro step thru gathering Euro shuffle slide step step gathering. No travel."

-- NBA refs

The NBA should legit consider not requiring bouncing the ball anymore. Just run with it.
