FIBA rule book "A player may lift their pivot foot as long as they pass or shoot prior to the foot being put back on the ground."

NBA rule book: "If a player, with the ball in his possession, raises his pivot foot off the floor, he must pass or shoot before his pivot foot returns to the floor. If he drops the ball while in the air, he may not be the first to touch the ball."



It is fascinating though how people played for many years and developed their understanding of traveling by getting a feel for the game without knowing what the rule book says. I have been exactly the same way in the past. I remember my brother explaining to me as a third or fourth grader how this extra step (that Jokic just did) is legal and it kind of blew my mind.

But its true that many refs at grassroot levels don't even know what the rule books say.
