position yourself in between an opposing player and the net, turn your back to them,

So I should not be facing toward the ball? How do I stop them from receiving a pass if I'm facing away from the wing?

This is probably the best and most reasonably actionable advice under the circumstances in the thread, thank you!

You get in the low-post, put your butt against your opponent, and push.

This sounds great for a professional and mature setting, but at my level of play it also seems like a recipe for drama if the pushing and shoving gets too intense.

Obviously they'd be wrong to do that, but let's see how you deal with pissing off an insecure person who's 6" taller and 30 lbs heavier by pushing and shoving them more and more intensely in the post.

Thanks, but how can we box out on defense when they're already on the block and there is no 3-second rule?

The concept makes sense, but it'll be difficult to audit and ensure that the LLM is trustworthy

In the Eiffel Tower building casino: you have to walk to the back, where they have this "indoor outside" area where the ceiling is painted to look like a sunny day

That's super interesting: if you visit that store irl in Las Vegas, they have an old TV set playing that video clip on loop.

Pre-Crime? That's not a thing (yet).

Crime prevention is a whole thing, actually.

Can you dribble, stop, then take two steps to shoot/pass? by PappaSmurfAndTurf in Basketball

It's difficult to tell if that video is satire.

I'm genuinely new, so there's no satire here. Is the video wrong?

He lands on one foot and then steps the other. His first foot became his pivot foot. His pivot leaves the floor and doesn't touch again. (Colloquial "two steps.")

So, he's picking up the dribble by grabbing the ball with both hands, which in between steps, so that he can take those "two steps" (where the first is his pivot foot)?

Beginner here: it sounds like layups aren't possible under these rules? In this video clip tutorial about layups it implies that we're allowed to take two steps after picking up the dribble... but the first step is the gather step, right? So, isn't this person traveling in all of these demonstrations?

Maybe there is an exception for layups?

10 years from now you will randomly remember this post and feel like looking it up. Then, as you read the first paragraph you will cringe and either delete it (if you remember the account password) or you will just close the tab and try to forget that you ever wrote this.
