Re: Does LeBron James' "Crab Dribble" Constitute Traveling?

It IS a debate of when Lebron actually stopped his dribble.

I can show you youtubes of Michael Jordan taking five steps between two dribbles in similar moves that weren't called double dribbles.
lebron does nothing different on this move than every other player - he dribbles, then he picks up his dribble on his drive. there's no really high dribble, there's no special dribble, it's the same motion every player does - the only difference is in how he takes the steps afterwards, and how he brings the ball up high mid-move.
