Coach can you please help me. Is it illegal to keep dribbling and running once I hold the ball with both my hands. I have seen players doing it whereas somebody told me I have to either shoot or pass once I hold the ball with both my hands. Please advice.

Is it a carry if you are at a stop and someone is guarding and you put the ball in the air in your hand note I'm not moving I'm standing still preventing the guy from stealing it and I'm just looking for someone open.

The snake cross has been my brothers go to move since 2001 he sucks

A very strict basketball game is boring to watch

Bro u did not come up with snake cross as you call it.. lol I’m 36 that shit been around since hot sauce from and1 😮😅

That,s the truth

Absolutely agree.

ye so many people carry but honestly i think as long as it isnt so extreme like its fine, and yea its one of the reason people are better at dribbling, but also cause of their skills and stuff, like not carrying just feels weird sometimes

Iverson would get it when refs would be petty. Jordan got called for one in 96 but it was called a double dribble back then.

@@rohangeorge712 no its because u cant cross over unless u put your hands on the side of the ball. no moves are possible without "carrying" or putting your hand on the back or side of the ball also if u have giant ass players their hands on the side of the ball will be so big their fingers slide under the ball therefore making it a carry and calling that every single play wouldnt be a game

I so agree!

in 2019,poking a player is a foul

@@fores7ght yup

well ill pickup the ball and run to the hoop then

@@IDidintUploadNoVDOs HAHAHHHHAHHAH

Or 3 seconds in the lane.

I haven't seen a carry call in the NBA in many years.

Nobody follows the rules when they all cheat. It ain,t basketball. It,s street ball.

I saw Westbrook get called with one this past season (2020-21) .. Legit the only one I seen and I watched atleast 2 of the broadcast games everyday

Agree! My sons being pulled up on it constantly at a low level though so this vid was really helpful!!!

Many of Iverson's in and outs and crossovers were carries. Some weren't.

@@weksauce IMO carrying is a fairly bad rule but it's necessary. Iverson did carry sometimes but his skill is undeniable and he could hang with the best despite being so tiny. His athleticism and handles made up for any gap he had with any-other player in the league. WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID Iverson did carry the ball and had it not called at some very crucial moments in his games.

topimpa butterfly Actually Iverson was a pretty nice height I was not tiny as most assume

@@TT.4_ Iverson lied about his height. He's only 5'10 without shoes.

@@pittaaaabread How is carrying a bad rule? Carrying/Palming the ball to a rest gives a player a significant advantage

Exactly 😂

Thank u

Thx

You're welcome!

Lol like u want me slam it really hard back down so I loose my dribble?

Exactly

Wow Hey JC loves you type upci church locator Acts 238

Absolutely relatable

I want someone to tell me this, but thinking about it a little more, it probably varies too much from person to person and depends too much on their situation, and even for a given person, it probably shifts over time. Skills are generally learned well in spaced repetition like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperMemo, but some skills might be the more often, the better. Lifting is optimally about 3x per week. More people prefer to lift before basketball, but some people do just fine lifting after basketball. I guess it all depends.

1.5 sounds like eminem

@bethany LOL

😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂

Happy to help!

Yeah it will definitely help with that side of things. It's all about developing proper dribble mechanics and ball control. It's not a bad thing if your palm touches the ball though, as long as it's not the main thing controlling it

Happy to help!

Carry beat the Cavs

Carry beat the Cavs

That's completely legal. Only the hand position matters

As you said in the video, hand position and palming both matter. If the ball is arrested from falling with any upward forces, it's a carry. The only reason hand position matters is that you can't exert upward forces by pushing on a ball from the top half -- but you can exert upward forces, even from the top half, by palming it or pulling on it in any way. @secondpink I watched the Professor video Coach Jesse refers to, and I busted out laughing when Professor claimed to "not carry 90-95% of the time". He carries around 90% of the moves he executes. His primary hesi, where he flares up his elbows, he usually carries the ball by placing his hand below the top half and arresting it. In general though, people just carry a ton, in all leagues and levels, because the point of the NBA is to make money. Players watch Isaiah Thomas and Kyrie Irving and KD carrying all over, and imitate them -- but they buy their shoes! I think it ruins the balance and fun of the game, at all levels, including the NBA. However, I know I'm a minority, and the NBA will continue to safely ignore the people who want a fair and balanced game in pursuit of profit. What sells billions of dollars in sneakers? Carrying at the top of the key, self-passing to split screens, slashing, then dunking. What impedes sneaker sales? Sound team defense, calling traveling the way it's been defined in every league including the NBA until 2009, calling charges and extended off-arms, calling carrying. I looked up the most recent Professor video (I'm subscribed), and scrubbed to the first play. He caught a pass, dribbled once, and hit a pull-up. Next possession shown, he clearly carries the ball, for no reason, not even part of a move. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9R1arBntrW7h4U.html&t=4m31s It's not just Professor, most people, from pickup to pros, carry the ball when advancing it up the court, when doing spin moves, when initiating crossovers at the top of the key. I don't know which Professor move you're specifically referring to, but he has fairly long arms, and borderline NBA-size hands, so he also palms the ball easily and often.

@sylenceexposed watch this video over and over again maybe you understand it.

@@denisde849 l

No problem!

They call cuz they mad I called a double on continuing my dribble ahead of me gather hop step in key And they call They call what they cant do or understand same ole witch hunt on not understanding

Incorrect. NBA Rule 10. Section II. Part D. -Source. Official NBA Website

hand/palm yes but fingers shouldnt count. idk how any big ass nba player can put their hands on the side of the ball and NOT have their fingers go under. their hands are so big it will go under

@@RobinXlone Isiah Thomas straight up carries on most of his possessions

@@Thanosdidtherighthing maybe Isaiah thomas but not the pistons player

They permitted carrying to make basketball fun to watch..but its still illegal...

@@mcjr1989 yeah in the 70s

No problem!

Whoa you reply IED

Could you make a video on jumping

Got a bunch on that on my channel already actually 👍

Raptor bandwagon

Cool!

Exactly and Iverson's famous crossover of Jordan was an example.

Yup he skipped that part of the rule

I'm actually not palming the ball in any of the moves. I can barely palm the ball and it takes a ton of effort to palm it off the dribble for me, and even then can't do it consistently on every dribble. That being said, I'm sure some NBA players with bigger hands might get away with occasionally briefly palming it because it's nearly impossible to see when it happens fast. The point of the palming version of the rule is basically to keep players from literally holding the ball in air, but the way your actual hand is positioned (being wide like when palming it) is not a illegal. I think there's a lot of misconceptions and assumptions that players with bigger hands, good handles, and can "float" the dribble well are palming or carrying the ball when in many cases they're not. That being said, it's my understanding that the whole "equator" rule has changed over the years, so old school fans often hate seeing the way players are able to dribble now. It used to be that if ANY part of your hand, even a pinky, went below halfway it was a carry, not like today where it's called based on where the majority of the hand is.

@@GetHandles but by definition floating the ball in your hand during the dribble would be palming. It’s essentially flush with your hand providing a grip so the ball can be manipulated in the dribble in any direction. Like the nfl the nba is ruining its rules with semantics arguments by non academics. The spirit of palming is clear so to intentionally try to find a pseudo palm should also be banned for clarity and game integrity.

3-4 times on this game😂

same, but was it a carry?

J_ Accel No I palm it at the peak of every dribble.

Got that EXACT video coming next week. It covers Harden's step back and whether it's legal or not and why 👀

Unlimited steps, as long as everything about the dribble is legal. If everything about the dribble is legal the only thing that will limit the amount of steps you can take is gravity pulling the ball down 👍

As many as you want is long as the hand position is legal and it's a live dribble

@@GetHandles Interesting, thanks!

At least 15 years ago

Send videos for proof or it didn't happen 🙃

@@GetHandles In your carrying video, you didn’t explain the full “snake crossover” move right away, it was a little confusing what kind of move you were describing at first

Behind the back dribbling is obviously not a carry, the other two are I think based on your description.

Not when the ball in dribble motion

TrueCleo no that’s a travel
