reg season gms
and i thought KD palm/carry was terrible
IT basically carrying his luggage with that

but that's the type of ball ya love to watch. guys dribbling and iso rather than great ball movement

Palming in the NBA should always be allowed and encouraged.

 

[ballinsam23]

Na that's not a carry, but it is as close as you can get to one. AI carried the ball more than anyone on some of his crossovers.

Your hand needs to be completely under the ball.

 

[dman14]

isn't it when the ball comes to a stop/resting position in you hands. doesn't matter where the hand is (over/under). you could be palming it with your hands over the ball and if it stops, it's a carry. not too many guys have big enough hands to just hold the ball like that when dribbling, but if the ball stops, it's a carry. that's what i was taught

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Pat Ewing still the undisputed champion of the post up carry.

 

[ballinsam23]

It's not actually holding or palming the ball though. You can hard dribble normally and have the ball sort of spin under your hand while controlling it with your fingertips in a way.

Where I'm from and in high school or college when I played if your hand isn't actually under the ball then you're good.

nah, i'm calling that **** and stopping play in a pick up ball if guys do that
3secs as well
what ya playing? prison ball?

 

[ballinsam23]

Damn bro you call 3 seconds in pick up? Please dont tell me you call offensive fouls too

 

[cpf262]

. 3 secs in pick up ball. Around here were playin through that **** . If youre trolling youre doing it right

 

[abematic]

3 secs in a game of 21 with 8 players.

half court of full?

. 3 secs in pick up ball. Around here were playin through that **** . If youre trolling youre doing it right

we out here playing fundamentally sound ball
not sure what kind of rules ya playing with


but seriously, if you are carrying/palming, i should at least be able to hand check on defense in return, right?

 

[antidope]

If theres one real basketball call that should be translated to pick up play its offensive foul. We call defensive foul all day long but let offensive fouls slide and lead to fights on the court.

 

[gentrification]

I would never a call carry in an pick up game. But there's niche group that does. And14LyFe doe

 

[P C H]

Never called 3 secs in pick up lol

But I wish I could man. Lazy, weak / old ****** be abusing that ****. Be using that old man strength and be spending the entire damn possession in the paint.

 

[Clyde Frog]

always kinda fascinating to see how people play pick up ball. most of it just seems like common sense to me on how to call things. just play ball. it should never be too complicated.

 

[nick.]

Carries only get called if they're really obvious

 

[P C H]

Carries only get called if they're really obvious

Yeah. Same with travels

 

[ballinsam23]

Lol around my way dudes throw their off arm, hook you on a spin move, etc.

There's more respect on the court when a foul isn't called. It's a thin line though and once that gets crossed the game gets ugly.

I also play with dudes that only call foul when their team is down and it's a close *** game.

 

[antidope]

This. Stuff rarely got called unless it was egregious, also play through fouls man.

 

[broncos19dm]

Leggo Wiz!

[osh kosh bosh]

I must admit I call a carry if it's super obvious, or dude did it to avoid getting stripped.
