6. Heelys. Allow traveling if you’re on heelys.

Hell yeah. Or heel yeah. What’s more extreme than this?

I’ve decided to answer for you, and you said “nothing,” and you’re right. Ignore the razor scooter. Those are extreme as well, but less extreme than heelys, so including a razor scooter would bring down the average extreme value of the contents of that GIF.

Remember who impressed you were that one time LeBron hit that backflip dunk over Marcus Smart in last year’s playoffs? It’s okay if you don’t. I’ve had a lot of people tell me I made it up, so I’m used to it. Think of how much more awesome that dunk would have been if he had landed and slid away into the crowd on heelys.

So anyways, in proper heely form, however, you don’t move your feet. This leaves all sorts of cool potential loopholes open for those who like rulebooks being torn and trashed. No moving feet means that you don’t move a pivot foot. This means the pivot comes along for the ride.

Think of the fun situations. A player get’s trapped just after half court (because the All-Star game has great defense), and then the player is like trying to pivot around looking for an open passing lane. There’s nothing, so with one flick of the ankle ZOOM he’s scooting toward the basket. It’d be like when everyone in a football game dives in a pile for a fumble and then suddenly one dude is breaking for a touchdown. And this happens again and again!

At least I think that’s how it’d work. We should definitely find out.
