How do you stop the stepback move? That crap feels unstoppable as a man defender and

I wish they’d call travels on step backs. Regardless of it being or not being a travel, back in the day they would call travels on them. It’s such a lazy exploit and is painfully boring to watch over and over and over again. Like I’d love to watch a game where players show multitudes of offensive skills and not just the same 2 or 3 recycled. Without the step back guys like Harden would be forced to open his game up and you’d see his PPG drop dramatically. You’ll probably already see that happen since NBA won’t call dumb foul baits anymore.

Yea but luka/harden shoot both 36 and 37 percent on stepbacks.

Wasn't there a 2K where side to siding was significantly slowed?

Was it 2K16? Wasn't a big rec/Park guy back then. Make these guys actually use some moves.

This theory is terrible. No one in the NBA repeatedly does the same move over and over in one possession. That's not even mentioning the entire game. In the video I posted above. I think he does about 5-6 stepbacks in a span of 10 seconds. All with Curry. He finally gets a opening and pulls up from about 30 feet and splashes it. Curry does a lot of running around. He's definitely one of the best off the dribble shooters of all time. But that doesn't look like Curry. He dropped 36 on me. The only other player in double figures was Klay Thompson with 11.

If you want to let Park players just keep stepping back over and over like that. I could see room for that nonsense. But in a NBA game. We see that once a year.

I think your right it might have been in 16-17.

I'm not trying to take the stepback away. I just want people to efficiently use each move. This didn't seem efficient. This seem abusive.

With my opponent he literally was hunting for 3 pointers. Remember he never used a pick and roll once in the game. This kind of over and over and over attack seem more suited for getting switches of a big man on Curry.

I'm going to give this a try. I kind of wish I could get a rematch with the guy from my hand

Here is a step back I can deal with that happen.

This is just bad defense on my part. 2 step backs. And me driving into the paint. Even switching into the big to protect the paint like this guy cares about the paint.

I give him credit for having that much control over a player. Because I could never do that many moves. I think Curry only sat once. Which is the part that bothers me. I've always seen Curry as a off the ball mover that's also a great dribbler. This kind of dribbling seems more Harden/Luka style. Just to add... Like if he called a pick and roll. I might be ok with all this. But he's attacking me like I'm a big that just switched on him . That can't be it.

That was stupid lol
