Good video! Good stuff

This is why you have to take all these offensive numbers of today with a grain of salt. You can't defend someone with illegal handles. defense is being phased out of NBA basketball.

Keep ya damn hand on TOP OF THE BALL!! Simple!!

AI and IT definitely CARRIED THE BALL!! It is simple...hand cannot go under the ball or palm the ball or on the side to cuff the ball while dribbling!!

It's all streetball now. Like to see someone show either how these same violations were being made, with no whistle through the decades. Stats and records, now, only have meaning amongst the time period when the rules were mutual

It needs to be called all the time. I don’t care if it’s AI. That’s how it becomes consistent. Then defenders have a fair chance. You can’t be scoring 50 - 60 points because you cheated. Viewers want to see good defense as well. It’s not entertaining watching cheaters. True basketball fans don’t want to see that shit.

Some people just don't like rules. Personally I undersatnd the rules are there for a reason, and the game is better for it. Refs need to do their jobs. If there is going to be some kind of unspoken agreement that certain rules aren't going to be enforced, then just do away with those rule and stop pretending. Why even dribble in the first place? Just let players run with the ball. We're almost there anyway. Screw the rules. Put trampolines on the court for added excitement. If a game goes into overtime, have a dance-off to decide the winner, or a gang fight. Make it an all-out free for all circus. Give the people what they want.

FYI, the Jordan Poole spin wasn’t a carry. Hand was on top half of the ball and was floated before he spun. Legit awesome move. Just because something looks different, doesn’t make it wrong

If you Don't call it The carry will become Longer and by then you might as well just let them Run with the ball. RULES! Without them it's a just a Free for all! At that point, you Don't Need Referees only security!

There's no difference between the hesitation and the carry it's all the same

I would like to see the refs calls these more than they are calling some of those lame fouls they are calling now a these days.

The only way this can be fixed is if the refs start enforcing this rule in high school and college. The same goes for travelling which seems to happen several times a game with no call by the refs.

Anthony Edwards carrys almost every play and its never called.

Agree with commenter who said they need to call traveling before worrying about this. It's getting absurd.

Just FYI players have been pumping and jumping into a defender decades before Wade. Earl the Pearl was famous for it, for one

A hesitation dribble and a carry are both illegal. They both fall under the umbrella of travelling. They just dont get called which is why people think they are legal to do. It is like the people that think that going 5 miles over the speed limit is legal because the cops dont pull people over for it. Technically cops can pull you over for going 1 mile over the speed limit.

At 2:36 you hear someone yell out "Carry!"

2:25 the announcers Johnny "Red" Kerr and Tom Dore were upset because no one was carrying like that back then. Just watch old 80s and 90s games. No one was doing that. Iverson started that bs.

Tim Hardaway invented the Killer crossover, not Iverson.

Reggie miller, Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan used to pump fake and draw fouls before dwade.

Why does the last 2 minutes of a bb game feel like an eternity.

My other fave is the jump shot fall down bs. I can understand every once in a while but every shot damn.

Hesitation is a carry by the rule you read. Doesn't matter if you change the word. It is a carry.

Isaiah @ 4:53 mark dribbled, switched the ball in his hands from left to his right hand without dribbling and then continued dribbling. That's a suspension of his dribble and a double dribble violation.🤷‍♂

It's carrying. NOBODY was given this garbage a couple of decades ago. One of the reason I can't stand watching the pro games anymore.

I was watching a doc on Tim Donaghy, he made it clear when refs have a personal beef with a player, they calling all their travel and carrys😂

1 year later and they haven’t been cracking down

One thing that every person here must remember is that the problem is the officiating and not the players. If officials call them consistently, players could adapt and adjust to that. Players play by the rules they are at.

Iverson did not put his hand under the ball or bring the ball to rest. He put his hand on the side of the ball. Isaiah Thomas did put his hand under the ball. NBA refs caught on and started calling it.

If it is traveling, call it.

Carrying the ball makes it horribly unfair for the defender.

Traveling is traveling. Call it.

If I was a ref, score would end up being 0-0 by the end of the 4th. With about 1,000 turnovers.

That mordant clip was crazy. These guys need to go back to dribbling and stop carrying like that.

It’s a dumb call. Language for the rule needs to be updated. As long as the ball isn’t resting it should not be a carry. Meaning if you are using the momentum of the ball to maintain its position in your hand it’s not a carry. It’s entertainment. There are much worse issues with the NBA rules right now.

Stephen Curry is one of the few players, that dribbles cleanly. Even he Carrie’s sometimes, because the rules are so lenient today.

When I actively played basketball, there was a ball handeling rule: While dribbling the ball, man In possession of the ball, "the dribbling hand, can not break a 90° vertical plan... other wise that individual will be called for a carry/travel". Now that would really break the NBA. Plus, the "lean in foul", should've never existed. And obvious flops should be an automatic, technical

The rules are trash right now and it has ruined the NBA. Do the players even know how to dribble?😂

You cannot lay a millimeter of any finger on the southern hemisphere of the basketball

It was much more intertane before all that shit...

That's why offenses are up, when you used to put your hand under the ball you had 2 options shoot or pass now they can continue the dribble

It is quite simple and depends on the position of your hand on the ball. Once you hand is under the ball, palm up you are literally carrying. It is the only way to pause for extended period of time without the ball dropping on the floor. Call it. Call it consistently. Players would adjust. Brief them that carrying is no longer tolerated and they quickly adapt. As a fan it really pisses me off when the rules are arbitrarily not being enforced.

Rather than learning how to be better at breaking the rules, why don't the focus on being better dribblers. Carrying the ball is a carryover (no pun intended) from street ball. It may look good, but it's cheating. Period. Pete Maravich never carried the ball, and he was the best dribbler in NBA history.

There is no such thing as a "hesitation" dribble. Carry: to pause dribble. Hesitation: to pause‼️

Pretty soon they gone be using a football 🏈

Good! Play the game right

they need to enforce carrying, traveling, and jumping [*masked as part of positioning] in t'days nba 🏀 .....

Also alot of players Travel while doing this jump/drop step “ power move “ to the hoop it’s ridiculous. And it should be called a travel

Tbh I think the regs governing carrying should be lessened. Nba players' dribbling bag will so limited without being able to get a little hangtime on the ball. Your fav players like KD and Harden will get like 10 TOs a game if refs called carry like they supposed to

reggie miller made that ages before wade
