successful .gif!

1. (defense fakes a flop to the floor). 2. 3. Reverse lay-up. That defensive guard fell without even getting touched. This .gif. Gets funnier every time I see it.



You know, the fact that the defensive guard collapsed like a politician's morals completely escaped my notice the first couple of times that I saw the clip.

I guess I was too preoccupied with the amazing amount of mileage the guy with the ball got out of one single dribble. :hmm:
 
You could definitely call that a travel if you had the luxury of watching it repeatedly in .gif format. I remember seeing that dunk when it happened.

Edit: Looking at the .gif again, it looks like he didn't actually have the ball in his hands (when he brings his left hand towards the ball) until he took his first step. He then takes 1 more step before he lays the ball in. I won't pretend like I wrote the rulebook or anything though, besides the Raps need any break they can this year.

Edit: It's screwing with my vision. It looks slightly different everytime I see it. Just glad the NBA isn't slowed down by replay.
