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

The reality is the NBA legalized traveling. Simple as that.

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.

bluecheese

It’s only 2 steps

PHXSUNS31

2/24/20 7:40pm

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

It is my understanding that the gather step must come before

might be right, maybe not the best example but you get the idea.

Here is the wording:

Medute
