POLL: Out of Donovan and Rudy, whose jersey(s) get retired in Utah?

Cougs4Lfe

7:37pm

I always felt Rudy was more committed to the organization than Donovan, played harder, better team player...so Rudy.

Bonoman

7:39pm

Wow people think that they will get a Jersey retired? Neither did anything

TO11

7:39pm

Mark Eaton has his retired so Rudy has a small chance.

JuicyJam

3x DPOY with the Jazz will be enough to get Gobert in.

Neither clears the high bar set by Jeff Hornacek.

Easy answer is Rudy. Mitchell wasn't there near as long and wanted out.

RealTaysomHill

You can't take 2-3 steps before beginning your dribble, so that part, I think

Plato

If you are already running you can. He knocks the ball out, doesn’t have possession, picks the ball up, takes a step and

RealTaysomHill

7:21pm

I count 2 steps after picking up the bal and beginning the dribble.

dratax

7:25pm

To me. the ball is no longer "loose" when he has full control of it but continues to take 2 steps mid dribble.

Soupie

7:07pm

He can take as many steps as he wants mid dribble

RealTaysomHill

7:08pm

Maybe I should say between dribbles.

Soupie

7:09pm

Again, he can’t take as many steps as he wants in between dribbles

RealTaysomHill

7:12pm

He hasn't started to dribble but is in full possession of the ball. Why even have a travel rule if you can just walk/run

Soupie

7:13pm

Same answer. Can take unlimited steps between dribbles. The first time he

But he IS CARRYING the ball with BOTH hands then transfers to one hand all while running.

It’s really only 1 step after he gathers it before dribbling, until he gets the

The gather step is step 0, not step 1.

RE: To me. the ball is no longer "loose" when he has full control of it but

"Active". Is it active if he has yet to dribble but has both hands on the ball while running?

Soupie

7:12pm

Even if you’re counting from where he first touched the ball, forgetting

scootsy

7:14pm

So how many steps are acceptable while carrying the ball in your hands?

Soupie

7:17pm

Knocking the ball out of his hands isn’t a dribble. He only dribbles once

7:20pm

Not a LeBron guy here, but this doesn’t even look close to a travel

Coog4Life

7:09pm

He has the ball fully controlled in both hands while running and takes a couple steps without dribbling.
