Nope, you're misunderstanding the allowance. Said player can't shake and bake for 5 seconds. The allowance applies only to a player dribbling directly to the basket or finishing a move to score. The allowance doesn't include shake-n-baking or stopping for head fakes or any other kinda fakes. That's not the purpose or intent of the rule. [/B][/QUOTE]

So you're saying it doesn't include anything that wouldn't be included in continuous motion?

And that the faking isn't part of continuous motion?
