OP is on ignore for bring boring and irrelevant subjects (3 on first page) to this site.

Beg to differ.

 

[RollyInRaleigh]

It’s stupid. They have ruined the game.

 

[ChicagoFats]

Yeah they should call that, its a travel!

@The Real Ja Morant is fun to watch that is sure, but it makes it more fun to watch when they enfore the rules. My .02

 

[The Real Ja Morant]

Where are the violations?

There are none in those clips.

What do you mean they, but I agree calling the penalty would be racist. Refs are pussies

How did TFSF luck up and get @The Real Ja Morant? Easily the forum’s biggest celeb acquisition.

The folks that have let the rules go to hell, the people that are there to enforce the rules, and the NBA in general. This game does not resemble the crisp game I grew up watching. It’s basically a circus now for individuals.

Gimme 3 steps

There isn’t three steps in either.

I’d imagine people could confuse two for three in the second video but the “first step” ,which occurs upon receiving the ball, establishes the pivot. After that there is two steps and then the next coming with the dribble which re-establishes pivot.

He's already dribbling in the first video, then takes 2 steps without dribbling at all, before dribbling again right before the third step. That's a travel you fuckin moron.

For the second video, you don't get to take any steps without dribbling, let alone 2 steps before ever dribbling. For someone who follows the NBA you sure are clueless about it's rules and players.

For those who don’t know the NBA rules as well as I do here is the rule:

The following definition of the gather will be added to the definitions section of the playing rules:

1. 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.
2. 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:
   1. Puts two hands on the ball, or otherwise permits the ball to come to rest, while he is in control of it;
   2. Puts a hand under the ball and brings it to a pause; or
   3. Otherwise gains enough control of the ball to hold it, change hands, pass, shoot, or cradle it against his body.

Incorporating the Gather into the Traveling Rule

The gather will be expressly incorporated into the traveling rule to clarify how many steps a player may take after he receives the ball while progressing or completes his dribble:

• 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.

So you just have shown that both videos were a travel

 

[The Real Ja Morant]

He's already dribbling in the first video, then takes 2 steps without dribbling at all, before dribbling again right before the third step. That's a travel you fuckin moron.

You do reliable that taking two steps isn’t a travel right?

“Generally speaking, a travel foul occurs when a player takes more than two steps without dribbling the ball.”

Well actually you do and the rule I posted above explains it.

Don’t post cluelessly or you end up looking like an idiot like you do right now.

You apparently didn't read your own rules you posted. You get to take 2 steps after you have dribbled and are gathering to pass or shoot you fucktard.
This is from your own fucking post:

• 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.

That describes the second video.

The first video isn’t a travel either because he only takes two steps while dribbling.

So again the rules say neither were a travel and the best referees in the world also agreed it wasn’t a violation.

This is case closed at this point.

 

[RollyInRaleigh]

Yeah, closed and falling in on top of you.
