Probably already discussed but is this steal travel dunk by Lebron a joke or what? Traveling's no longer a thing?

That’s pretty clearly not a travel

2 steps, dribble, 2 steps. I mean, there are plenty that seem to be questionable

Yeah, we takes two steps after he picks up the dribble. There are lots of questionable no calls in the NBA but this aint

You can't take 2-3 steps before beginning your dribble, so that part, I think

If you are already running you can. He knocks the ball out, doesn’t have possession, picks the ball up, takes a step and

I count 2 steps after picking up the bal and beginning the dribble.

Two steps are allowed

1 step to dribble, 2 steps to pass or shoot

To me. the ball is no longer "loose" when he has full control of it but continues to take 2 steps mid dribble.

Soupie

He can take as many steps as he wants mid dribble

RealTaysomHill

Apr 28, 7:08pm

Maybe I should say between dribbles.

Soupie

Apr 28, 7:09pm

Again, he can’t take as many steps as he wants in between dribbles

RealTaysomHill

He hasn't started to dribble but is in full possession of the ball. Why even have a travel rule if you can just walk/run

Soupie

Apr 28, 7:13pm

Same answer. Can take unlimited steps between dribbles. The first time he

But he IS CARRYING the ball with BOTH hands then transfers to one hand all while running.

You alone are correct on this. It’s literally everyone else that is wrong.

Appreciate the patronizing but I really am trying to understand.

It’s really only 1 step after he gathers it before dribbling, until he gets the

I looked again & checked the NBA rule. I still see 2 steps after control.

“gains enough control of the ball to hold it, change hands, pass, shoot, or

cougaman

I see control occuring before two hands are on the ball.

dratax

The gather step is step 0, not step 1.

scootsy

Apr 28, 7:45pm

So: loose ball-Control-gather step (step 0)-step one-dribble begins?

dratax

Apr 28, 8:02pm

Yep, good explanation.

Apr 28, 8:06pm

I believe you meant before dribbling

"Active". Is it active if he has yet to dribble but has both hands on the ball while running?

Even if you’re counting from where he first touched the ball, forgetting

Knocking the ball out of his hands isn’t a dribble. He only dribbles once

Not a LeBron guy here, but this doesn’t even look close to a travel

Coog4Life

He has the ball fully controlled in both hands while running and takes a couple steps without dribbling.

What do they say about someone who walks out of the house and everyone they meet
