It was the 12th step that made that over the top.

He actually only took 3 steps.

All those small steps are between the last dribble and him palming the basketball. After he palms it he takes 3 steps, which is a travelling of course.

nope that 'dribble' is really a bounce pass to himself. That's a travel. Then he travels again when he palms the ball.

It was a 6 step travel and then a 3 step travel.

No, you are allowed to take as many steps as you want between dribbles.

Ehhh, not really.

It depends on the player. A quick tight cross works better for a quicker player. They don't really need to create much movement from their defender to get by them, so quick moves work better.

Wider crossovers work for players who have strength and want to get their opponent more off-balance before making their counter.

I don't think so. A tight crossover is always better. The distance traveled by the ball is shorter, making the crossover quicker, regardless of whether you're a slow or quick player. Also, width of crossover is not related to creating movement, as that is accomplished by your legs and your hips, and not with the ball. Have you not seen Curry break ankles and send his man to the floor with his crosses? Tight crosses also allows you to more efficiently transfer your momentum forward, instead of having to drag the ball from 4 feet away.

Here's a bunch of players discussing it.

Well, for one thing, they were discussing Iverson's wide cross-over, which was just ridiculous and often bordering on carrying. Hayward's and Dwill's aren't that wide (and it's not like either of them never utilize a tight cross-over either). I think there are clearly advantages to both approaches to a cross-over and you see Steph Curry utilize a wider cross-over from time to time. It's not like he always does the tight 1-2 cross like Thomas is describing (also it sounded like a lot of Thomas just jerking himself off).

Looks like Hayward invited Hood.

Cooley has Indiana ties, so it makes sense why he is down there, but not Hood, so it must have been a specific invite by Hayward.

Hayward dumbbell pressing 125 lb dumbbells is pretty impressive.
