Come on man, be both know Michael Jordan was allowed to take 3 to 5 steps every time before shooting. That's what gave him the lift when he jumped into the basket and I know I saw MJ use his elbows to clear space. The game had changed and even MJ said the newer rules was making it tougher on big players like himHave you ever watched Lebron play?
If anything, he has it easier. Rule changes have limited how physical defenders can be AND he gets away with travelling, clearing space with his elbows and damn near running over people when he bull rushes the rim.
I was watching a Lakers game with a friend of mine recently and we were both commenting on how, since he has been back from his injury, he hasn't been able to just beat guys off the dribble. So he's been pushing them away with his off arm as he drives to the basket.
At one point I said..."the refs have to call that on him sooner or later, don't they?"
They never did.
