You definitely CAN just dribble hard to get by the defense IRL. How the hell do you think LeBron gets to the basket? He's not quick off the dribble and doesn't have great crossover moves.

This is especially true since they made playing perimeter defense illegal around the time Jordan retired from Chicago.

Because he sizes up the D. Then goes.

LeBron doesn't really size up much-- I watch a lot of Cavaliers basketball. He just explodes out of the triple-threat without using any moves at all most of the time.

Either that or he uses a screen.

No, I said you shouldn't be forced to use triple-threat MOVES, i.e., jab steps, hesitations, etc.

The triple-threat I was talking about with LeBron is just him holding the ball before he dribbles.

Agree w/24th and Ray here. You guys know that first step animation in 2K9 where you can kinda explode out of a triple threat and leave your man? I think Live needs to implement a move that amounts to like 1/2 of that animation (if you get what I'm saying).... Like not giving the lane away completely like that, but when you have a clearly quicker player, maybe give you that first half-step where the defender has to work harder to get off your hip and back in front.

This move is in the game. They actually explode and throw the ball out in front towards the basket. It is possible.

Can I get a vid of this LBJ triple threat. I'm in Louisiana. Don't watch too much Cavs ball.

Let me get something better than that. LBJ was using screen, no TT move necessary and Gay was hit by screener. Something a little bit clearer.

Right, especially w\ the help D logic they have....itd be pretty solid.

I mean it isnt just LBJ that does this, its just a part of the game....Its a major part of my game IRL...I have a nasty first step lol

Man, if the post game was smoother, I'd be going insane.

I'm finally starting to figure out how to beast in the paint. It's just that there's not much control.

Man, once you start commanding double teams, it's a thing of beauty. The offense totally opens up.

I'm gonna keep practicing.

Would be sweet, because it wouldn't always amount to buckets, and would lend more authenticity to playing great defensive teams, as they'll be there to help and cut you off more, forcing rotations. And lesser defensive teams would just prob give up the attempt at the rim.
So Kobe will go off vs GSW, but against BOS he might have to pullup with a defender on his hip more, resulting in maybe same points total, but more attempts as the D plays the %'s.

I swear devs shouldn't even need to watch games, just follow these threads. Love how we sit here and pick these games apart and we all feel we're normal.
But my girl thinks we're all insane. lol
