Same pivot foot but is it legal?

[Adam]

If his pivot foot doesn't move, why wouldn't it be legal?

Looks like he establishes a pivot foot properly then uses it properly. OK by me. BTW - starmanhoops, welcome aboard. Hope you have lots of fun being here.

Thanks Hugh, the fact his off foot comes down and then his pivot foot comes up and then he shoots is all good? Cool move, just seems like it would normally be called traveling? I'm just trying to come to grips with it being legal. I appreciate the knowledgeable answers.

Only a travel if he establishes a pivot foot, picks it up, AND PUTS IT BACK DOWN before releasing the ball (on a shot or pass).

The only part of this move that is close to a travel, is he may have gathered the ball with his right foot on the floor. Live, most refs will have the gather in the air though.

So as far as travel vs. no travel, is this treated the same as if he'd taken a standard jump shot? As long as he shoots it before he comes back down, he's good?

I agree about the close to travel part but isn't it much like a layup in pushing off the right foot...except it started with a 360 pivot? I thought it was traveling but now "almost" sure it's not? Ha
