The gather step is the dumbest rule in the books

You mean gather steps

Hard to tell, but his hand might still be on top of the ball.

Dude. He took six steps without dribbling the ball. Obvious travel.

6? More like 3 or 4.

Steps don’t count while your dribble is active.

PHXSUNS31

6/13/21 9:46pm

If that isn't a travel than the rule is dumb/wrong. 4 steps after the last

cougaman

I think it still might be a travel..I can’t tell when he picks up the ball

PHXSUNS31

6/13/21 9:56pm

The travel should be from when you last dribble the ball. If you don't "gather"

cougaman

6/13/21 9:59pm

You’d have traveling on every other play by your definition

PHXSUNS31

6/13/21 10:03pm

So lets make the rule that you can take 5-10 steps after your last dribble? I

cougaman

6/13/21 10:12pm

But how do you define his last dribble? Can’t be when the ball hits the ground

PHXSUNS31

6/13/21 10:21pm

When the ball touches your hand, you get 2 steps after that. If you take more it

cougaman

6/13/21 10:29pm

And many of us grew up playing that the rule was 2 steps from when you picked up

Littlerich

6/13/21 10:35pm

But the NBA wants to justify travelling so they added a vague "gather" so they

cougaman

6/13/21 10:38pm

You’re welcome to your opinion..I’m just trying to explain the rule

PHXSUNS31

6/13/21 10:38pm

I understand the "rule" and its a dumb rule to justify how they let their stars

cougaman

6/13/21 10:40pm

I won’t argue there

PHXSUNS31

6/13/21 10:42pm

Even then, the dribble doesn’t end until the ball is back in the player’s hand,

For those who are confused about active dribbles. Here you go:

wow! That was very informative.

notaboy

Ball has to keep bouncing on the ground to keep dribble active.

TailgateU

6/14/21 10:01am

Well yes, but it doesn’t end the after it last touches the ground

PHXSUNS31

6/14/21 10:23am

If they call that, jazz win

4? 5?

He didn't put the ball on the floor from the top of the key to the basket....yes....travel

Bonoman

This^^. As athletes get bigger/more athletic and steps get longer, the distance

notaboy

I’m pretty sure you weren’t allowed to dribble when Naismith invented the game

PHXSUNS31

6/14/21 7:00am

Yup! See? I'm still learning! (Although Naismith did like dribbling when

notaboy

I'm sure glad the refs decided to make an emphasis of the tiny little shuffle

cougaman

6/13/21 9:49pm

4 Steps. Even in the NBA, by their own rules, that is a travel.

#1 reason why NBA sucks. these guys r monsters already, make them play by rules

6/14/21 7:20am

Come on! That wasn't a travel. Euro step.

Makes TNT so mad!

First class passengers get a different set of rules while traveling.

TailgateU

Maybe he thought this was game four and already started his travel back to SLC..
