      Definitely not a travel. His feet is off the ground only while the ball also is (mid dribble).

      If this a travel every “running with the ball” (with live dribble) is. It’s clearly not a travel, footwork was ideal.

      Whats happening on top was not. First Harris shoves him which is a foul and then Antetokounmpo grabs his shorts which is also a foul . The refs let them both slide.

      Giannis haters only see his foul and Sixers haters only see Harris’ shove. They are both wrong, they both fouled and refs let it.

        The left was his pivot and he lift it.

        It was a travel and the footwork was messy, but I guess in this day and age even this can be considered ideal footwork in the NBA.

          Yeah you’re right. He lifts his pivot foot, his left foot, before dribbling. So on top of everything else that I said, the play is a travel from the start.

          Lifting the pivot is never a travel. Going down to it is.

          Not in this day and age nor in any day and age from the 1980s on…
