But if you understand the principles of the move and the footwork then you most likely do not commit a violation unless you just flat out make a mistake. It's like that little side gather that Chris Paul does to escape the defense for a deep range shot. All of these moves are valid because they're being done by the best players ever and that's the only explanation needed.

    TMac’s 13 in 33
    Fisher’s 0.4 seconds shot (although I think they started the clock late - even Fisher admits it - but at the same time, it’s been 17 years so not like we can change it)
