this is not really a dribble.its a hop step that u take to get an extra step on ur defender,after the hop step u take two more steps, therefore its a travel. but if your first name is lebron its a nice play
Commentator- What is a crab dribble?
Caron Butler- Its a move where you...uh, like travel.Its the hottest thing on the market right now.

A complex maneuver in the NBA where the player takes more than two steps after dribbling the ball and does not get called for a traveling violation. It gets it name from the common crab, which naturally are born with 8 legs. A well done crab dribble will incorporate 8 steps and give the illusion the player is only taking 2 steps.

lebron crab dribbled then hit the game winning shot but was called for traveling.the official apparently did not know that he was lebron james. and therefore never travels.

A basketball word made up by LeBron James, in which you can basically take a third step toward the hoop. also known as a travel.

LeBron James's "trademark" play. Basically looking good while traveling. Not the reason seafood restaurants give you bibs.
LeBron tried to use a crab dribble to get through the Wizard's defense but was called for traveling.
