@FelipeCar I’m okay with the call… but it is possible to trip an attacker by making contact with their trailing foot. That shouldn’t automatically be classified as the attacker initiating the contact. Mbappé was just continuing his normal running motion.
@bballbreakdown@JerseySuave4 Because you went back to a point prior to the jump stop, when we had already agreed that the jump stop was step 1, before asking that question. If that wasn’t the intent, then I’ll ask you: What point were you making by bringing up a gather step that we didn’t disagree on?
@bballbreakdown@JerseySuave4 No need to be condescending. We’ve already agreed that the jump stop was step one and you’ve already conceded in a separate thread that the left foot moves after the jump stop and before the right foot. The refs didn’t see it in real time, but it still happened.
@bballbreakdown It doesn’t change the overarching point that many people (incorrectly) thought the original camera angle was a travel, agree with you there. If left foot hadn’t moved, it’s clean.
@bballbreakdown@JerseySuave4 If that is what had happened, it would make sense. And I agree, it appears that way from certain angles. But he makes a small step with the left first, then the larger step with the right.
@bballbreakdown@JerseySuave4 Jump stop is step 1, as you said. Left foot steps, establishing right foot as the pivot. Right foot step. Left foot step again. Right foot step again. Shot.
Sure, one of the steps established the pivot foot and isn’t classified the same. Doesn’t change the result.
@bballbreakdown Your original claim was that it was “completely legal” and that the “left doesn’t move an inch.” So, yes, it is moving the goalposts when you shift the discussion to whether or not it’s reasonable for the refs to call it.
