Overcome with emotion. You could see him almost shaking after making the shot. Just a raw human reaction from someone who really cares, nothing to be worried about.

Gather step is nice way in NBA to allow more exiting plays that in basketball shouldn't be legal, but it's nba, people do 7 steps layups.


Pistons don't care tho, another step toward secured top 5

Apparently, a jump step is allowed after the gather.

He dribbled, picked ball with both hands than with both legs jumped back. It's a travel.
Even if you count first step as gather, he still did four steps as hoop back was done with both legs.


But we are now in WWE-nba era where quality is on decline for sake of half drunk people being entertained, so i'm sure this is just one of many uncalled "buzzerbeaters" comming.

He gathered, and his left foot was his pivot foot, and then he did a jump step. That's not 4 steps. Watch the slow-motion video.

When both feet are off the playing court and the player lands:
1. Simultaneously on both feet, either may be the pivot foot;
2. On one foot followed by the other, the first foot to touch shall be the pivot foot;
3. On one foot, the player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both, in which case neither foot can be the pivot foot.

With all due respect to person who wrote that on twitter, guy has no f*** idea about basketball rules.

Once you catch ball with both hands there is no steps to take. Especially not two legs "steps back".

When both feet are off the playing court and the player lands:
1. Simultaneously on both feet, either may be the pivot foot;
2. On one foot followed by the other, the first foot to touch shall be the pivot foot;
3. On one foot, the player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both, in which case neither foot can be the pivot foot.

It's literally part of basketball rules
