Bron: David, why are you calling my house this time of night, didn't I tell you to go through my fuckin' agent?
$tern: Yessir, Lebr-ImeanKingJames, but it is an urgent matter. Permission to speak freely, please?
Bron: Hurry the fuck up, "commish"
$tern: Why yes sir...My slave bitch, $tu Jackson, brought it to my attention that you were having thoughts of going to Europe if we didn't implement policy to make the crab-dribble legal? I think it's a great basketball maneuver, by the way, sir.
Bron: Yeh, whatever. Ya bitch told you right. Make that shit legal by one week after the Finals or I'ma crab-dribble my black ass all the way to Yugoslovakia or Czechoslavia or whatever them shits are called, got it?
$tern: Uh yes right aw-(CLICK!!!)...way, sir...right away. What :bking Jemes wants, :bking James gets.

The NBA should change its name to the NLA
The National Lebron Association - where Lebron happens.
If there is another player I make a magical injury thread about, it would def. be Lebron. This cocky fuck needs to STFU.

What exactly is the 'crab dribble'? Is that where you hold the ball in one hand briefly then start running before dribbling again?

I hate traveling...one time the NBA was showing a ridiculous move by CP3.....and it was FIVE steps without one dribble.....FIVE !
And he got the bucket and the foul.......I was like...WTF????

I liked when someone asked Caron Butler what a crab dribble is, and he explained it by saying "a crab dribble is when you travel."

Don't matter. The crab dribble needs no explanation. Lebron looked stupid as hell tryin' to explain that bullshit. Nigga you walked, period. Stop that.

I could care less... Bron can crab dribble all he wants... We'd still be 2-0 vs. the Cavs this season.

I don't get what's wrong with the rules as written. I don't agree that they are being called differently than they are written. The rule says that you can take one step to finish your dribble, and one step shoot or pass. That's two steps when you do both,
When you are shooting a layup, you take advantage of this rule. You pick up the dribble as you plant your left foot (assuming you are shooting right-handed off your left foot). You step with your right (that's the one step you are allowed after you stop dribbling). You step with your left (that's the step you are allowed to shoot or pass). Then you jump and shoot.
What you CANNOT do is pick up your dribble THEN take two steps. Which is exactly what LeBron did in the "crab dribble" video clip you can see by clicking the link in the referenced story.
The "crab dribble" is nothing but dribbing while in a crouched, bent-over stance, so you look kind of like a crab. It has nothing to do with traveling, or not. it's what you do when you have a defender on your back to protect the ball from being swiped from behind.
There's also the jump stop which is ALSO in the rules but that's a more advanced topic, for another time.
Why would they want to add yet another full step to the rules? That would make basketball ridiculously easy for the offense.
And why are they complaining the Euro rules are different? They're not. The Euro players have just figured out how to take better advantage, by making the first step very long, and by changing directions between the first and second steps. Watch Manu Ginobili in slo-mo sometime. He does it legal but it kind of smells like traveling because his steps are long and slow.

Mother fucker already travels 70% of the time and doesnt get called for it. Its a simple rule and so easy to call, fuck the NBA for caving into Lebron

LOL, looking at the lebron block video from the top I see Richardson's hands getting deflected more than the ball... The ball actually hovers where it was supposed to be briefly, not even close to a block.

"That would be good, I could get my move back," James said
Apparently he wants his "move" back. At this point, the only move missing from his game is picking the ball up and crab sprinting down the court.

Lebron's comments are pathetic and a joke. Traveling is traveling. Just stop traveling Lebron. It's that simple.

I wasn't aware cradling the ball and driving at the hoop was "Lebron's move".....I always thought it was "running with a basketball in your hands".

Yup, if you think we're the two people on this board who think Vujacic sucks then that's your problem.

Travelling is already getting out of hand and the league started going soft on palming when Ewing was abusing his post up dribble (now guys like CP3 can spin 360 degrees to his left wit hthe ball cuffed in his right hand securely and never get called for it). Hell, they even allow players to tip passes on steals, pick the damn ball up, and take 2 steps before they even start dribbling just because they don't want to slow the momentum of the game. This is ridiculous. The NBA is too lazy to make officials clean the game up and to in love with their "superstars" to make them look bad by simply putting them in place....maybe they're scared it'll hurt marketing. Disgusting. The "best athletes in the world" can no longer be held to high standards. Steroids has been running me away from baseball, I hope legalizing something illegal to passify the primadonnas of the league doesn't deflate my enthusiasm for the first sport I ever began watching. Yuck.

Folks, we are only the "Witness" to the greatness of King James. NBA will make sure the King gets his crown! Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
Is there a mechanism where we all can call the NBA office and file our "grievances"? I guess not. The commish is too powerful...sigh!

It's a stupid nickname. It's like Amare changing his jersey to #1 because, and I quote, he's "The number one player", right after the 2005 series where he got completely shredded by Duncan.
when you're allowed to do this and coincidentally the NBA wants to reconsider rules on traveling yea....
