Like they said, it is a travel at any other level.

Players have always gotten 2 steps...maybe they’ve changed some language

That is whole story. It isn't traveling anymore, because they changed the rule.

It’s only 2 steps

PHXSUNS31

It's 3. But they don't count the first step in NBA...

I don’t care about HS/College ball. If it is, it shouldn’t be

I don't disagree, but I think it's wise for the league to define when it is that
