Is this a walk? NBA rule question...

[Everymanalion]

Some people call it when I play against them, some do not. I already dribbled and stopped, ball in two hands, pivot foot is my right foot, I jump using my left foot bring my pivot foot off the ground(right foot) and my left foot at the same time but I use my left foot(non pivot) to jump back and create space, a travel/walk?

If you're jumping off both feet at the same time and you're shooting or passing before you touch the ground again, then I think you're fine. The way you describe your jump is confusing though - are you saying both feet leave the ground at the same time but the power is coming from your left foot?

[Cromedome]

If i'm reading this right...when you're jumping back, you better be shooting or passing because it sounds like a walk/travel if not.

It's a walk if they call it a walk. Respect the call from the opposing team and keep playing.

If you were to pass the ball, and not take a difficult shot, you wouldn't have this problem. lol jp

However, if you don't move your pivot and you jump off your non-pivot it's not a walk unless you move your pivot before you jump

Sounds like it. You already stopped dribbling and established a pivot foot, you really are limited to what you can do, and I don't think "jumping back" falls into that category.

Honestly, post a video because this is bothering me now...

Yes its a travel. In the NBA nothing is a travel though.

So no.

[8kobe24]

If both feet come off the ground simultaneously, not traveling. But if your pivot foot comes up first, then it's traveling.

Doesn't sound like you're doing a Dirk fadeaway, but if you are then that's not a travel.

Well... from the sounds of it you are pulling a Hakeem. You have a pivot, work around the pivot and then fall back launching off your non-pivot foot. That's not a travel, or at least, I have never seen it called a travel before. Dirk does that as well. Lots of players do.
