They doubled down, calling it a "fumble"

If this is the case, why wouldn't players just "fumble" the ball all the way down the court? They would never have to dribble at all.

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

Isn't that the Curry dribble. Lateral movements is the key right?

I liked John. Was it a little clique that chased him off?

Defending refs is much better than defending murderers.

That is a given. Is there more to your post than that?

That's a generous interpretation of "losing control of the ball."

The Stevie Wonder one was hilarious. What I assumed said “Deal with it” in Brail.
