That clearly was not a fumble, it was an awkward pump fake followed by two steps

This tweet basically admits the refs got it wrong:

Fumble = legal, and no travel. No fumble = travel. It's understandable for people to think that the offensive player doesn't lose control, and therefore travels. But the officials on the floor deemed it a fumble, and therefore legal. This is what makes this job so difficult. pic.twitter.com/81igLXM9MG

The NBA defending this blown call sums up the league perfectly

And if that's the case it should be a jump ball.

That's ridiculous to try and defend that. I gave them the benefit of the doubt

That's not really the refs, right? It's got to be a spoof account, right?

So @nbarefs, if I 'bobble' the ball awkwardly between both hands, I can literally

One more reason why the NBA is unwatchable

The comments on that thread are more entertaining than the actual NBA.

That tells me that players are still not close to taking advantage of the rules
