First instance of the move in the NBA[edit]

The article claims that the move was the first brought to the NBA in 1989, primarily by Šarūnas Marčiulionis, but there are video clips that clearly show Elgin Baylor, Archie Clark and Julius Erving all performing the move decades before.[1][2] Alvaldi (talk) 10:00, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of clarity[edit]

From the latter part of the article the "two steps" are more like long skips if gheg can cover 15 feet. The first section really should clarify this as otherwisd the tactical advantage of the move is obscure. Stub Mandrel (talk) 07:41, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Don't forget or ignore history[edit]

Why in an article are names of only now famous players? Where are beginners of euro step from 20th century, in example Šarūnas Marčiulionis? It is very bad decision just to concentrate on what is popular or even worse trying to be popular yourself by ignoring facts. 90.131.40.96 (talk) 21:27, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Old Rule[edit]

Not sure about NBA, but when I was playing JV basketball in the 1960's, the coach said you could only take one and a half steps after gathering the ball. I never understood what he meant by a "half step". If you put a foot on the ground, that a step. If the other foot doesn't hit the ground, then you haven't taken a step. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.56.173.38 (talk) 17:07, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
