Today one of my friends was arguing that pure rolling can be obtained even in the absence of friction. He said that if we give translational and rotational velocity to a ball on a frictionless surface so that the net velocity at its lowermost point(the point which is in contact with ground) becomes zero.

 

Example in the given figure- If we take V,W such that V=RW, then the lowermost point will come at instantaneous stop and ball can roll about it.
