First instance of the move in the NBA
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)
- In 1968-69 I was the basketball writer at McGill University. That year the team was led by Bulgarian star, Atanas "Nasko" Golomeev. At McGill Nasko, who was inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame in 2019, used the Euro-step and got called for traveling, every time. He tried, in vain, to show the refs that it wasn't traveling. Last year I asked Nasko if he had invented it. Nasko said he hadn't invented it, but learned it from a great Serbian player, Radivoy Korac, who was the first to use it. Nasko said it has been around for around 65 years 172.97.38.44 (talk) 00:42, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
Lack of clarity
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)
Don't forget or ignore history
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)
Old Rule
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)
