You can also watch most games for free. People buy tickets for the stadium experience, not so they can see some team score. And if one team travels a lot and wins, the losing team is gonna be pissed. Allowing people to break the rules is just as bad for money as it is good for money. Plus if this is the case, people would have just been traveling for the history of the sport, but they haven't been doing that. You genuinely sound like someone who's never stepped foot in any stadium. "They let them cheat because it's about money." What the actual fuck are you talking about dude 😂😂

To be fair, some of these supposed travels are not travels. A lot of them look like it because the players take a long time to gather the ball. The Carmelo one is a good example of a non-travel because he dribbles once but never gathers for several steps (all legal, no limit of steps between dribbles), then comes to a stop gathers and shoots. Steps towards a travel don't start until the 2nd step after there's 2 hands on the ball.

Having played the game actively and also as ref, this is brutal to watch. When you really know the game you just instantly see a travel, it's not a matter of maybe you didn't see it because it was subtle. no, as ref the closest one always watches the person with the ball in the hand while the other 1 or 2 or however many are watching surriounding players doing illegal stuff. The moment the player with the ball travels i blow my whistle and call it, it's so blatant once your mind is conditioned to recognize it... Edit: That's why you see the bench calling the traveling.

What is the rule for lay-ups? As a casual American, I just never ever understood it. Almost every lay-up looks like a travel to me, the video references like maybe you can get 3 steps" but is there an official definition for lay-up allowed walking.

@@MichaelQ-iv7pt Yes, once you place one hand under the ball ( carrying it) or take it into two hands you can lift one foot of the ground and then the other foot and then make a throw or lay-up attempt or pass the ball. I guess you could also just stop moving but you aren't allowed to move any foot anymore so you'd be pressured close by defense. *Edit: the sometimes tough to decide comes when a player is moving fast and maybe transitions from dribbling to carrying the ball right as he lifts a foot. It's rare to be confused if you've seen it 10'000+ times. There's slight difference in rules between NBA and rest of the world tho, when you stand on both feet, and you make a step, the ball must hit the floor before you plant then moving foot on the ground ( official basketball rules), but in the NBA you only have to make tha ball touch the ground before your second foot touches the ground, essentially making the first powerfull move to get past your opponent much easier ( more TV entertainment) in the NBA. Also why the US is not dominating the world in Basketball tournaments anymore*

@@MichaelQ-iv7pt, once you bring a second hand to the ball you can take one step and then you MUST leave the floor to shoot. Taking a second step without shooting or passing turns it into a travel.

I love the announcers talking on Steph's Harden impression about how that's every single Harden step-back three. And also when they say, "Hey, it's the NBA" everyone knows travels rarely get called unless there's like 5 steps in there.

The difference between Steph and Harden is Curry took 3 steps after gathering the ball in both hands. Harden took 2 after gathering, but took about 5 before which looks like it's a travel but it isn't according to the rules.

The NFL has the same issue. A legendary QB like Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes gets looked at the wrong way when being sacked and the defense gets a roughing the passer flag. However, when a QB is having a bad season and being attacked by the media like Russell Wilson last year, the defense can make a false start to get to him, pick him up, and slam him to the ground on his head and the refs call NOTHING. I hate it.

Only 2 steps allowed in the NBA. I have no idea why people think that a foot that is already on the floor when the dribble ends should be considered a step. A dribble doesn't end at the last point the ball touches the floor...it ends when the player gains control of the ball and gathers it (two hands, against the body, or carried with a hand or part of the hand underneath the ball).

@@nathanrogers1793 He has his left foot already planted before his hand makes contact with the ball. His next step is the gathering step, which is with his right foot. He then puts another step with his left and stops, using that left as his pivot. At no point are there 3 steps, thus no travel. You can call the travel for his pivot foot because it moves quite a bit but it's certainly not 3 steps. This is the definition of the gather, and traveling, for your info: A player who gathers the ball while progressing may (a) take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball or (b) if he has not yet dribbled, one step prior to releasing the ball to start his dribble. A player who gathers the ball while dribbling may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball. The first step occurs when a foot, or both feet, touch the floor after the player gathers the ball. The definition of a gather is as such: For a player who receives a pass or gains possession of a loose ball, the gather is defined as the point where the player gains enough control of the ball to hold it, change hands, pass, shoot, or cradle it against his body. For a player who is in control of the ball while dribbling, the gather is defined as the point where a player does any one of the following: Puts two hands on the ball, or otherwise permits the ball to come to rest, while he is in control of it; Puts a hand under the ball and brings it to a pause; Otherwise gains enough control of the ball to hold it, change hands, pass, shoot, or cradle it against his body. Morant has his foot planted already before receiving the ball, hence that cannot be that gathering step. His next step, which he does with the right, is his gathering step. He is now deemed in control of the ball and can take two steps from here without dribbling. So he could even take another step with his left foot, making his right the pivot, and still not be called for traveling. So instead of a travel with 3 steps, he actually only had 1.

I'm not a basketball fan and much less a basketball player, but I always found it so funny when playing pick up with some more avid players that they always, and I mean always, just call travel on whatever they feel like and then take 12 steps for a layup or something and claim it was clean. Such a weird rule.

Harden don't even travel that much. The Ricky Rubio one was def a travel but most other times he's mastered the timing of the gather step so he essentially gets 3 steps instead of 2. On Curry's he BARELY gathered right before the should've been "0 step" so it was a travel. It's close and it would've been fine to not call it but it was a travel when you take your time to look at it.

That one’s not actually a travel, still a bad shot tho. His hand was behind the ball when he took those shuffle steps before shooting meaning he still “had a dribble” since he hadn’t picked up the ball. You can take any number of steps while you “have a dribble.” If his hand was under the ball it would’ve been a travel, but it was just a janky clean play.
