But never a foul then a travel call. And Kobe is not the only one......Harden is another one, especially since he doesn't get off the ground very high on those euro step moves.

Pistol Pete brought in street ball, with his dribbling skills.

Iverson enhanced it with the known cross over carry move thats everybody does today. You don't really see the carry unless a big dude does that move. But us 6ft and under guys get away with it because we do it quicker.....

Phil is fighting an uphill battle and I'm not sure if he's just high sometimes and goes on a rant, or if it's part of his plan to keep the Iso ballers away from him and only add coachable system players. He's trying to be the Spurs of the east coast. I hope it works, because 80 percent of the dominating athletes play iso ball.

there's no excuse for traveling and palming no matter what. they even changed the rules and now allow an extra step after you pick up the dribble. but in the last few years i have noticed that most of the time, that in catching the ball they all travel, and in putting the ball on the floor they all travel. wade is especially notorious for this. all it does is promote one on one streetball. it makes the game ugly and difficult to watch. bring back the hand check! jackson has a legitimate gripe. lets hope silver has the balls to undo the damage stern has done to the game.

street ballers did not have his dribbling skills. his were legit because he neither palmed nor traveled. compare footage of maravich to iverson.

The one thing that is relevant is that unless the league changes the way they officiate fouls, Jackson is wasting his breath. The way the game is officiated, you need to be foolish not to rush a perimeter focused offense. You can sneeze on guys on the perimeter and they will get FTs, but if somebody gets clubbed multiple times on a post move they won't call it.

I think that Lebron's (and yes, Melo's) initial push off as the drive to the rim is something that needs to be addressed too.

"Lebron, you are not good enough, definitely not as good as people think and certainly not as good as MJ was."

"Lebron, if you come to NY, I can make you that player that you want to be because I am phil frekin jackson"

"Lebron, are you ready to take the challenge?"

pure genius!
