NBA & basketball fans, lifting your pivot foot is NOT a travel

As there is with any group or population, a sizeable portion of NBA fans and basketball fans are misinformed or ignorant, and a common incorrectly believed assumption is that a basketball player lifting his pivot foot after holding the ball, is always a travel. This ain’t true fam. If a player passes or shoots the ball after lifting their pivot foot but before their pivot touches the ground again, then it is NOT travel. So if you hear "Is lifting your pivot foot a travel in basketball?", the answer is "Not if you pass or shoot the basketball before touching the ground again MATE".
NBA fans’ ignorance on the exact basketball rule of travel was very much on display in the comments section of a House of Highlights video from Tristan Jass. But the fact remains that all these NBA and basketball fans are just simply misinformed.

If lifting your pivot after dribbling is a travel, then taking those two steps for a layup would be a travel but it is not. When you are taking two steps for a layup, first step establishes your pivot foot and the second step is your step through. If your opposite foot is still on the ground and you put down your pivot foot before releasing the ball, then it is a travel. If you jump off your opposite foot and either foot lands before releasing the ball, then it is a travel. The reason why players and coaches tell people to jump off two feet rather than stepping through and jumping off one foot isn't because its illegal, but for two main reasons. First reason is jumping off two feet is a more stable and efficient shot than jumping off one foot. The second reason is most people have bad footwork, so jumping off both feet is a safety precaution to prevent traveling.

A lot of people use that move nowadays, and it’s hard to stop. Growing up that would be called a travel every time tho.

lots of people are talking about rule C which DOES NOT apply because rule C that "in STARTING a dribble after (1) receiving the ball while standing still, or (2) coming to a legal stop, the ball must be out of the player’s hand before the pivot foot is raised off the floor" which clearly states that rule C ONLY applies BEFORE you have dribbled

I love your channel

[@lyf3-0v3r7]

It is a travel if he lifts his pivot foot while his non pivot foot is still on the floor.

[@YgorRessel-D]

"Lifting your pivot foot alone is not a travel". "Taking another step after lifting your pivot is though".

Long live traveling

HE TOOK 3 STEPS thats a travel

[@JoeCnNd]

You can lift your pivot foot but both feet have to leave the ground at the same time. You can't lift your pivot then go to another foot.

[@lightgamming6661]

In the second part of that it mentions that the player is in the air, if you lift only your pivot and not your other foot, you are not in the air. You should lift both feet at the same time when you shoot or pass.

FACTS!

[@student99bg]

I have had debate in real life a million times and it is for the exact same up and under move that you have shown

Short banger

[@carlobocti4368]

Best video ever to educate all of those clowns. They all got cooked by this move so they just can’t accept it to be legal lmao. This is a move that everyone does unconsciously because it’s fa-kin impossible to jump with the goddamn pivot foot in the god*

[@christopherkettler8727]

Why did old NBA guys never pick up their pivot I know what the rule is now but guys in the NBA didn't pick up there pivot until recent years

[@picassolaurante407]

You cant leave your pivot foot with the other foot still down.

[@TheKazzuma12]

the problem here is after he lifted his pivot foot his other foot is still on the ground isnt that his new pivot foot

[@exciciontestpage4462]

so when he put the left hand on the ball and brought it on his right by going behind the back the live dribble has ended. and he can take his zero step (gather) and 2 more steps which he did by taking a hop step he did that and made his pivot foot his left. unless he hopped with both or one foot off the floor completely suspended off the ground and shot (which he didnt) its a travel. he still had the ball in his right hand and pivot foot off the floor and even took a third step bc the ball was released off the right foot. it would’ve been clean if he changed his position and then jumped off the floor with both or one foot but he didnt he took a third step with his right
