Actually not that controversial. His ex teammate Iman shumpert said that same thing LeBron ruined basketball by the super team hopping. He and his friends in the media made it seem normal.

The rule never changed, but refs got an email from Adam silver, telling them that those brats can not play by the rules, if they called travels and carries, the scoring leader would have 20 ppg. This is the absolute worst era of basketball, skill wise, competition wise, mentality wise and team play in general, the game has been dumbed down, and it stopped being a perfectly designed competitive sport that is also a business, and it became a business that is mediocre entertainment at best. The last true competitive years ended with Kobe, Dirk and Tim.

LeBron hate I can respect. But one thing that is lost in all the haterade is that players can hardly tell when to challenge the shots anymore especially layups cause when does the dribbling end? Does it ever end? Makes defense extremely difficult even if you have the skill & desire to do it.

I think that’s a given. Of course they can’t tell when to challenge the shot when the ref may or may not give them an extra step or even an extra dribble after picking up the ball

I have been saying this since Lebron came into the league. It stands out so much and is so obvious, your eyes pick it up even in real time because something looks off. I used to think Ewing was bad but, Lebron has taken it to another level. He is the King of Steps! If they enforced the rules and called the obvious traveling and offensive fouls he commits Lebron wouldn’t have half the points he has now. The NBA and the refs purposely ignore it because they marketed him as the face of the league and doing so would hurt their product.

Thank you for this video. I have a hard time watching the NBA today because there is a traveling violation or palming and carrying the ball violation on virtually every possession. If possible next time show the outrageous "step backs" that are allowed today where players are lifting both feet and hopping backwards. What is sad is that kids today are learning all these same habits and the rules of the game are being ignored. This is a direct result of street ball and players finding ways to cheat without referees being present because when your team loses you have to sit until the next game and players today are too selfish and weak to admit their team lost so lying and cheating have become prevalent.

Adam Silver has said in the past, that LeBron James is the face of the NBA. Does anyone not believe that?

Basketball is hard to watch nowadays. Tuned into a warriors game last week and it was just jordan Poole carrying and chucking 3s. It's no wonder players are dropping points at a record clip. Between defense becoming an afterthought. All the rules to increase pace of play and allow dribbling violations. It's hardly basketball.

The gater step rule was introduced by the FIBA in 2019 to protect American players(allowed to take one step when getting the ball IN MOTION and BEFORE they INITIATE the dribble, NEVER DURING or AT THE END of the dribble) from embarrassment in international competitions. A year later the nba and some "stars" with the help of the media clowns, twisted the rule to basically allow TRAVEL at any point during the dribble, BUT, if you read the travel rules, they REMAIN THE SAME, after you finish the dribble (gaining control of the ball, this is your last ball bounce in any serious basketball competition) TWO STEPS (one each feet) TWO STEPS (one feet + two feets landing at the same time) or TWO STEPS ( two at he same time + Pivot) TWO STEPS no mather what. For instance, the commonly used reverse layup the way nba players do it IS TRAVEL ALLWAYS.

Another 10/10 video! Bravo sir.

Ive noticed that too....we couldn't get away with this back in highschool basketball in the 90s lol

The NBA has told it's officials to not enforce the rules so there can be more scoring. It's that simple. NBA players have never had it easier. The jump stomp is another ridiculous thing that's been incorporated into the game that has never made sense.

I have thought for years that one major thing I liked about Jordan's dunks in the dunk contest is they would be legal in a game. I have always found unsatisfying dunk contest dunks that couldn't legally be done in a game. Other people might not care, but it just doesn't mean much in my mind because my mind says, "That isn't real basketball". Just like trampoline dunk do nothing for me. A side note, I mention that a player's high scoring game is greatly diminished as an accomplishment in my mind if his/her team loses the game. Similarly, in my mind, the greatest pass doesn't mean much if the person getting the ball doesn't score or passes to someone who fails to score. While not as diminished if the failure to score on the pass was due to being fouled, the beauty and coolness of the pass is still much diminished.

Not basketball Association

Thank you for this video. I have said this before always fact-check what an LBJ fan says no matter what! After the LBJ tantrum game, I didn't fact-check what someone said about it.

Then My Man angry hoops fans come out today in the clutch with some hardcore facts. Now I am like I knew I should have fact checked that sht. The game has changed so much that its easy to believe some BS based on what you are watching. If a Lebron James fan in the media or on social media says something ALWAY FACT, CHECK IT! Because they are LIARS

Obviously it isn't that there was a third step that players could gave taken advantage of in the old days! When they took that step (and refs caught it) they were called for travelling.

the fact that lbj fans commenting on your vids hehe

Videos like this need more exposure. I'm sure YT has this on shadow ban.

Ok, so… I’m 40. I’m also EXTREMELY bothered by the modern interpretation of the rules, but, the first 5 minutes of this video are dedicated towards the gather while receiving the ball while pointing out examples of “gathering” or picking up, the dribble. In the old days, if you caught the ball, and started running without dribbling, it was a travel at 2 steps. That was bad officiating cuz they didn’t understand the rules. The modern officiating allow a gather “step” after picking up the dribble that becomes 4-5 steps cuz they also don’t understand the rules. Long story short: NBA officiating nowadays is taught to not penalize offense, cuz casual fans love offense. It’ll always drive me crazy, but I accept it. What drives ME crazy is that highschoolers are taught to do it now.

I'm no fan of LeBron, but help me understand. @12:14 when LeBron dribbles the ball, you seem to be calling that step the gather step, the step where the ball and the foot are hitting the ground at the same time, but according to the rules the gather doesn't occur until the ball comes to a rest, both hands touch it or there is a pause right? I would say the very next step @12:18, where his right foot hits the ground and he places both hands on the ball, the gather step. Then it's left foot, right foot and launch. Doesn't look like a travel to me from this angle. @12:54 against the Hornets that was DEFINITELY a travel!

Only the next step (right foot on the floor) is the point where he gains control of the ball, and after that he takes two steps. Let's be fair, this one is absolutely NOT a travel.

I used to get called for traveling catching ball while pivoting, taking half a step, essentially while ball was in motion to dribble in high school. They counted landing, not forward motion, when catching on the move as 2 steps. I get refs back then tried their best to keep it tight. It made me focus so much more on outside shooting. Luckily for me I was a sharpshooter.

Love the video

What I've seen argued is that the gather step when a player picks up the ball isn't the first 0 step. Its like a negative zero. Then when they put the second hand on the ball THAT'S the gather/zero step, but the negative zero in that case could be called a carry, so they're allowing like a carry and a travel, which is breaking the game.

you have explained it so well, but those unbelievers would still find ways to disagree. It is just too sad that players and even superstars do not respect the game as the greats before them did. all they care about is abusing the game.

Thanks for agreeing with me about traveling and double-dribbling. Ever since Michael Jordan, the game became, "I just dribble when I feel like it. The ref is blind as a bat," There's also the fact that traveling calls slow down the game, which is why there's so much allowed since MJ and others hop, skip, and jump before going to the basket. The fans don't care about all the traveling. They just want to see points racked up.

@9:02 the step you labeled #1 for Bird I believe was actually his gather step with the left foot. His right foot should be step #1 which takes place @9:06 followed by step #2 @9:08.

If they actually wanted to fix the issue, they should enforce "control" right after the ball last touches the ground. This is what I had drilled into me 30 years ago: you dribble *hard* low and close, so the ball actually pushes upwards against your palm and that is how you control it without carrying it. These days they train to dribble high and soflty, so that while the ball is floating spinning in mid-air, close to a player, he can run alongside it and claim that he did not have "control." Even while he clearly *does* have enough control to grab it or pass it, because that is what he does after after several steps. (I find this extremely difficult because it goes against everything I learned about playing basketball, but I guess it is easy if this is how you start) You have a perfect example at 1:35 with OKC number 14: the first two numbered steps he is not even touching the ball. Steps 3-4 the ball is still spinning against his palm. And even after all that he still travels. This is how Harden started: he'd pull the ball backwards and do his famous stepback *alongside* the ball, without actually grabbing it hard until the end. Which, if you can do it while dribbling forward, should also be legal sideways or backward. But then he started grabbing it earlier and earlier until he's doing four-five steps like you show in this video. I'm not talking about LeBron and Westbrook taking the inbound ball and walking with it for half the court. That is just silly, but it can be defended *a little* by saying they got no advantage from it. And because these two loopholes exist and are accepted, the players feel justified to just pick up the ball and walk. And the refs let them.

Would like to see some 2000s footage of guys like Kobe and Iverson and Nash to see if we can better pinpoint when this change took place.

yes, why didnt all the NBA players never take more than 2 steps and why did all the refs forever always call traveling when anyone took more than 2 steps???

A defender locks down the handle but the handle travels/walks to create more space. After the ball stop & pivot, the defender knows after 2 steps, it's either pass or shoot. The refs dont care if its LeTravel James, hes the greatest actor, so let him slide, flop, choke, travel, walk & complain if the call doesnt go his way. I've seen LJ throw air balls, missed layups, missed slam dunks, losing his handle of the ball...mostly uncontested, untouched...after these sloppy embarrassments, lequeen blames the opposing team. He was a great, talented player for the first 8 years. You'd think his skill sets would improve over time? He ends up relying on sloppy play and his team to carry him. A true GOAT doesnt resort to play & compete like that to win! Hes not even in my top 10 players of all time! He almost was there but not anymore. 😂

11:30 ONLY when he has an uncontested open lane dunk he follows the rule. When he faces clogged lanes though...

Great video

See, you have your pre gather, the gather, your post gather, and all the gatherings you need before and after the dribble. 😂

Jordan's freethrow dunk was the most impressive and more difficult because Jordan kept a live dribble and didn't run with the ball!!

Nba refs mysteriously started allowing this once I stopped playing. They called one long step a travel when I played. They called Dominique jump stop a travel back then.

My dad played in the 40s and 50s. He experience was anything not on the exact top of the ball when dribbling was a carry which is why the game was all weave and passing. Relaxing the rule to the top part of the ball allowed for the point guard to advance and drive the ball. Even what Isiah was doing in these examples was a carry in the early 50s. Today, they are allowed to just flat out carry and walk. I like the Mavs but Jason Terry used to drive me crazy, he carried every dribble every game, all game. I stopped watching NBA in 2011. You can certainly look more athletic when steps and carry don't matter. Every time I flip it on to check it out, its a clown show now. Unwatchable crap.

@AngryOldHoops I think that you've marked the steps incorrectly in the Larry Bird moment at 9:00. The step that you've marked as 1 (left foot) is actually the gather step and after that Larry takes two steps (right, left) but you somehow count them as one.

Fact! I’ve brought up that very point before. They say, “the dunks are better too”, but these fools don’t even dribble in these contests, so no. They aren’t better

These kids don't know how good they have it. They have zero steps, drop steps, gather steps, dub steps. All we had was traveling.

Whatever happened to a fundamental jumpstop? Wtf is a damn gather

these videos have the exact same vibe as watching old 9/11 videos showing building 7 falling

It started with LeBUM's crab dribble!!

I don't like Lebron much, but 1:40 is not a travel. He grabs the ball with two hands at first, he is not dribbling...then he takes a step to his left and dribbles.

Damn… it’s crazy cause even I go around repeating and respecting that the rules have changed cause I’ve seen nba specials on nbatv talking about the zero/gather step.

some valid points here.. but calling lebron a "piece of shit" over a game was kind of weird.

I hate to say it, but you're wrong about that Lebron vs Celtics clip. His gather step is the step you labeled as 1 (12:20) . That's when he gathered the ball in two hands. The ball was still traveling up to his hands when he took the step before.

If you search for "gather steps in 90s NBA", you could also get a lot of video that how NBA players at the past using the Zero steps, including MJ. There are people traveling crazily nowadays, but does not means this rules is wrong, just the rule at the past is not clear so people seldom use it (or they won't let you know the tricks). Joey Crawford already explained, it is because in a transition movement it is just difficult to determine what is "gather a ball", and so this updated rule is to clarify the things. People traveling crazily now (even they already took more than 012 steps) and don't get a call, that's the problem from the referee, not the rules. And I think this is what hurting today's NBA. Even nowadays you will also find lots of players using the old 12 steps, at the end is just all depends on if the move is spontaneously smooth or not.

You weren’t getting away with any sort of traveling back in the Jordan era. That’s yet another reason why if Mike played today he’d easily average 50. Wilt would average whatever he wanted. Shaq would shoot 40 free throws a game. Todays nba is a joke

8:59 is a pretty bad example. You counted the 1 when Larry's LEFT foot hit the ground, then you counted 2 when Larry's LEFT foot hit the ground again. Do I even have to explain why that's wrong?

Your channel is great! You explain everything and break it down nicely. And not in an angry way lol. Anyone who thinks LeFlop is a great should watch your channel LOL😂

9:01 definitely a travel from Bird. For step with his left leg, then the second one with a right one (you don’t said about it) and the third one again with a left leg

I really wish the nba would just admit they changed the rules for these “superstars” and put it in The rule books at 3 steps. 4 steps becomes a foul with shots and 5 steps is a flagrant 1. Let’s see these scoring averages drop baby!

I'm just disappointed that I can only like this once...

I'm always in the comments of the NBA Daily Top 10 calling out the travels.

Look at all the old people mad that you don’t have to dribble with one hand no more

Man I got love for the real just never knew how to attack I'm with you on this old school was is the best school

What the ... That's more steps than it takes to make twice baked potatoes

The gather step rule was implemented in the last 10-15 years. So Lebron playing pg would catch the ball and take 2 steps before dribbling and get called for travel when he got into the league, they changed it for him. Other guys were doing it too because Lebron made it popular. Lebrons argument was he either did not have control yet so it was not a travel, or modern day athletes are more athletic and can move faster than the ref can see making it look like a travel.

9:05 He takes 3 steps. The second step is obscured by the legs of other players. You can tell because your 1 and 2 are the same leg (his left). EDIT: Actually, it's arguable that what you call 1 is his Gather Step; so it could still be 2 steps.

Thank you two steps is the guy that made the game
