    True about Neal, but he didn't get the "street cred" support because he is a black journeyman, he ain't selling . The relative joke was pretty good.
    & I imagined it pained a "white man" like Kobe to beg for that black support. That hot shot lawyer he had warned him not to do it and threatened to leave if he did. But, he had no choice. Whomever gave him that advice was dead on. Probably his dad I imagine. He wasn't in CA.. If he had he coulda skated and been glorified. But, not CO.. He either needed to get on the Lear and go to Italy, or, use every conceivable ploy at his disposal. And in the end that lawyer was just as conscienceless as Kobe. She was a junkyard dog and named the name day one and buried Eagle County under a mound of paper.

    He does it intentionally to create space. Jordan evolved his fade-away in similar matter.



    Mix starts at 0:45. Compare how pronounced his leg kick is from that clip in 93 compared to the following few clips that are from the 80's.
    Who gives a about MJ in this case. Rules are rules and the NBA even called it a foul on DJ after the case. Regardless of fading or going forward, you can't take the air space away from a player without it being a violation unless you were there prior to said player entering that zone. Keep adding awesome insight to this board.

    Has that peroxide seeped from your hair follicles into your brain and made you re ed? I wasn't even arguing about whether or not Jones's action was a foul. I was challenging your contention that a player loses body control when shooting a fade-away jumpshot. Maybe you lose body control, since you're in all likelihood a spastic, but any competent basketball player can control his body just find during a fadeaway.

    it just seems like that space is created from the momentum of fading back, or maybe a balance thing, but i dont think that thats the "space" creator if you will...


    He didnt undercut Kirby
    i was speaking in general

    It's the plane of vertically that I'm referring too. Regardless, when you fade that abruptly you need space to gather your feet to regain balance. Also, good joke, insightful.

    it didn't look like an intetional infliction but it would've surprise me either if you tell me he got paid from his former boss (cuban) to intentionally injure kobe and to help mavs course of pursuing the 8th seed tbh. dahntay is an ex mav and it seems like the mavs will benefit most from kobe's injury, so we have all reasons to suspect the plot might be associated to them mavs tbh

    and regardless, the defender has to give the shooter space to shoot and land (safely) you cant crowd or undercut the shooter.
