ITT your favourite athlete from a sport that isn't your favourite sport

For me, it's Manu Ginobili. He turned 40 today

I do not watch divegrass but I like Messi.

...

Im fairly certain thats travelling

Isn't the first step considered a gather step?

Paul Pogba because I like to dab

Watching that live was the hypest shit, it was the exclamation point to a big comeback run and then the spurs just fucking murdered the heat off that momentum

Ben Cousins in the AFL tbqh senpai

I would call this traveling. As you can see he has picked up his dribble and his left foot has not hit the floor yet. He then took two more steps after his left foot hit.

I've been checking out some recent NBA plays like this and they really don't travel as much as some people to claim. Lebron often looks like he walked, but when you slow it down you see he has great timing with not picking up the dribble until after the foot has planted.

Its not a travel. He still hasn't gathered the ball in the 1st step so its a gather step

Shinnosuke Abe

Loved watching that generation despite battering England

Yeah but its close they would never call that in the NBA

And you're certainly wrong...

NBA Rulebook: You're allowed 2 steps upon completion of a dribble, so if you dribble while pushing off of one foot it is not counted toward one of your 2 allowed steps.

this
he's kind of adorable

How about Tom Brady? I stopped watching Handegg but still, he is GOAT for the sport.

and yet, it is not

has an NBA ref ever called travelling? srs

It's not about the lead foot and when it lands. It's when the plant foot begins the driving motion. If you dribble while pushing off, the first step doesn't count (gather step).

Should be undisputed at this point.

That cute north korean chick who got the table tennis bronze in the olympics. She's perfect.

The way you explain that you seem to be implying that if the foot is planted then you grip the ball and end the dribble, it's still traveling if that foot hasn't begun its "driving motion" yet. Meaning you could travel while only taking two steps. I don't buy that at all.

My favorite sport is luckswing but I gotta give it to Mario Lemieux. I guess it should be Gretzky or Howe or someone, but he's who I saw play while growing up, and I liked his style of play and I think it's cool that he had a lot of love for the Penguins and helped them out when they were having some financial troubles and kept them in Pittsburgh. Not the GOAT but my favorite.
