Traveling?

Clearly not a travel. He didn't even pack his suitcase.

Well, what are the rules for traveling in nba? To me, as I broke down the video, he took at most 4 steps and maybe just 3...in nba that is quite acceptable...would likely have been called in college though, especially since it "appeared" he took about 5 steps after he picked up the dribble.

You are allowed 1 step to gather and 2 steps to finish. If you pause the video at :15 you can see him gather the ball and make his first step on his right foot. He then proceeds to take 3 steps after... that would be a travel but it happened so fast I don't blame the refs for not calling it on the fly. Even in slow-mo it's hard to tell

So it wasn't that bad after all...I can't find the video, but I remember like 10 years ago somebody took like 7 steps on a break-away dunk...it was the worst I had seen.

There is no travelling in the NBA, or palming, or double dribble. But, if you hand the ball to a ref after the other team scores you get called for a foul. LOL.

Funny stuff...don't they upgrade that to a flagrant foul if they toss it instead of hand it off?

Was just joking, Brewer traveled to the moon and back, no call because at home and down 20, Id suspect this would be called if Durant or Westbrook did this at that time.

I saw C. Anthony get called for it last year. They scored a hoop, he was standing under the basket, gently picked up the ball and literally handed to the ref who was behind the basket and got called for a foul. Some relatively new, or now enforced foul. WTF, that is silly. He didn't even know what was going on. Me either. LOL.
