The step before dribbling never gets called, and even if you count his gather step (which isn't to be counted) he only took 2 steps later.

thank vogul for that, refs were like wheres hibbert????looked around and then to the bench, when they turned around, layup

[Maniak]

lebron james is the only player in the nba who constantly travels and has absolutely no proper footwork but never gets called for it.

That's not the rule of travelling, I'm sorry, you're completely wrong.

The first was an obvious travel and so was the lay-up, he clearly had the ball in his hand when he took his 3 steps.

[Straight_Ballin]

That was a bs game winner but I have reversed it and slowed it down and I only see two steps.. Wow Great Game..

You need glasses. It was 3 steps for sure and he didn't dribble before taking a first step.

lebron james is the only player in the nba who constantly travels and has absolutely no proper footwork but never gets called for it.

He doesn't get called for it Internationally too (where rules about dribbling are stricter) so maybe he doesn't travel.

His LEFT foot was established BEFORE he caught the ball and THEN moved his right foot, then took off from his left BEFORE starting the dribble.

First of all, he took an obvious first step before dribbling and he did it big time. Second of all, he took 3 steps after taking up the ball from the dribble.

How can a player take an amount of 4 steps from the 3 point line to the basket while only dribbling the ball once? How?

He shuffled his feet before he caught the ball. Watch the damn video!

Section XIV-Traveling
a. A player who receives the ball while standing still may pivot, using either foot as the pivot foot.
b. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may use a two-count rhythm in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball.
The first count occurs:
(1) As he receives the ball, if either foot is touching the floor at the time he receives it.
(2) As the foot touches the floor, or as both feet touch the floor simultane- ously after he receives the ball, if both feet are off the floor when he receives it.
The second occurs:
(1) After the count of one when either foot touches the floor, or both feet touch the floor simultaneously.
c. A player who comes to a stop on the count of one may pivot, using either foot as the pivot foot.
d. A player who comes to a stop on the count of two, with one foot in advance of the other, may pivot using only the rear foot as the pivot foot.
e. A player who comes to a stop on the count of two, with neither foot in advance of the other, may use either foot as the pivot foot.
f. In starting a dribble after (1) receiving the ball while standing still, or (2) coming to a legal stop, the ball must be out of the player's hand before the pivot foot is raised off the floor.
g. If a player, with the ball in his possession, raises his pivot foot off the floor, he must pass or shoot before his pivot foot returns to the floor. If he drops the ball while in the air, he may not be the first to touch the ball.
h. A player who falls to the floor while holding the ball, or while coming to a stop, may not gain an advantage by sliding.
i. A player who attempts a field goal may not be the first to touch the ball if it fails to touch the backboard, basket ring or another player.

[RedBlackAttack]

You can technically take 20 steps with one dribble if you're quick enough to do so in the correct catch/dribble/gather manner. There is no rule about number of steps/number of dribbles.

Until I see a replay that shows otherwise, that wasn't close to a travel. Trust me, I'd say it if I saw it.

[millwad]

You're either blind or a troll. Watch the replay, pause it right before LeBron receives the pass, and then again right after. Both of his feet are PLANTED.

What in the name of god are you talking about?
He clearly had the ball in his hands before taking his first step, he took a massive first step without dribbling. A "shuffle", really?

And just to make it clear for you, he took 4 steps and he only dribbled the ball once, there's no situation in basketball where that is possible without a travel.

Players in the open court take 3-4 steps during one dribble all the time.

I have never seen anyone get called for a travel like that.

MJ did this regularly actually he was famous for it,i know i have watched him a lot.Get the ball quick spin move most of the time before he starts to dribble his pivot foot leaves the floor which is what happened here.

This is an outsider view,even here in europe,they wouldnt call that a travel.

You can take as many steps as you want between a dribble.

You say you play pro ball somewhere, and you haven't been taught a stutter hesitation dribble? That involves like 5-6 steps in one dribble.

[bdreason]

And you're allowed to take a step before you dribble. He catches the ball, his right foot is his pivot foot, he steps towards the hoop with his left foot (legal), and puts the ball on the floor. He takes 1-2 steps during the dribble, gathers the ball, then takes 2 steps and finishes.

LeBron gets away with travels, no doubt, but this is hardly the play you're going to call an NBA player for traveling.

You are allowed to establish a pivot foot, and step as many times as you want with the other foot as long as you begin to dribble before you lift your pivot foot. The idea that you can't move either foot before dribbling is incorrect.

[arifgokcen]

What most people need to understand is thats a TRAVEL
however that said in a NBA game i have never seen such travels get called especially at the end of the regulation.Thats not about lebron,i have never seen any player get called and millwad you are allowed to establish your pivot foot.

I feel like officials in the NBA tend to be more obviously biased one way or the other (usually for the home team) than the average collegiate official.

But, from a standpoint of ability and skill in officiating, being able to see the action clearly, etc., it's not close. The NBA officials are usually far superior at their craft.

I've seen things happen in big college games that would crash ISH if they happened even in the regular season. Those guys can be really, really bad at their jobs. Not necessarily shady or underhanded... Just unable to perform at an acceptable level.

NBA officiating is more biased and not as good in college. Comments in YouTube vids of Bron Stan's even saying its a travel. Shocker.

No one is arguing that it wouldn't be called. We're saying that by NBA rules, it should be called. League is as fake as WWE, so you shouldn't expect it to be called.

There are at least 10 charge calls per year that are so bad, if it happened in the NBA, the ref would be sent to the NBDL. lol

As far as NBA refs being more biased towards home teams, I have seen college refs get really shook because of the raucous home crowd. I will even admit it happens more than few times per year to the benefit of my Spartans. I think the NBA problem is more of a star thing rather than a scared of the crowd thing like in college.

I know a lot of people dislike Dan Dakich, but I love him because he's one of the only guys (NBA or college) who calls out refs (and players) continuously. It's hilarious.

[iamgine]

The steps before the first bounce is a travel but it's understandably not called because it's very fast. Happens a lot in every game and very seldom called.

I don't see where the second travel is...

[fandarko]

The step before dribbling never gets called, and even if you count his gather step (which isn't to be counted) he only took 2 steps later.
That's right, I'm watching it. The first step is travelling, according to Fiba rules. They are now considering to change it. His two-step was alright though, he dribbled left and finished left, no travelling there.

No one is saying the post move isnt legit. As for you or anyone else doing it, not from an NBA 3 point line distance and definately not without traveling. With 2 dribbles yes. No way in hell with just 1.

I don't care about a best of Kobe layup video where he performs the same traveling move from the 3 point line that isn't called. Go find a vid of an NBA player that is not a superstar performing that move from a stand still catch on the NBA 3 point line who isn't called for the travel on a single dribble finish at the rim. No one is trolling, you just don't understand the difference between what is a travel and what is not.

[MARLO]

Meh. He traveled.

BUT..

a.) An NBA superstar will NEVER get that called against them, especially in the remaining three seconds of the clock.

B.) If you've been watching a lot of the games lately, you'll notice that travelling has been called a lot more frequently, but always on the perimeter on a shuffle-step and NEVER, NEVER ON THE DRIVE. I've seen plenty of fast breaks and drives where players will take FOUR steps and not called for traveling.

So fcuk it. It isn't like Miami will ever miss the finals until at least 2016 anyway..

EDIT: yea what straight_ballin above me just said

[VIntageNOvel]

its not travel :confusedshrug:
just variation of crab dribble :confusedshrug:

What are you? Lebron's gatekeeper? Relax, stanley, he doesn't need you defending his honor.

You were trying to defend it as not being a travel by posting drills of it being taught! Post a vid of a regular player in the NBA doing that move and not getting called for it.

[madmax]

this is not a travel according to NBA rules by any means...that first step before dribbling never gets called in NBA (as opposed to FIBA) and after that he took two steps anyway. Case closed:cheers:

[SpaceJammeR]

lol lebron haters hit a new low again. damn.

[Trollsmasher]

Euroleague would be proud of you guys. It is funny how everytime LeBron "travels", so many fans of Euro ball come up.

This simply isn't a travel in NBA. Every player in the league can do this and they do this.

[Kingwillball]

LOL at the Whiny Trolls calling it a Travel.. :lol .. HE caught it Took a Stride and Dibble at same time than took 2 steps and Layed it in.. Pretty simple and clear as day..Watch video even shows it in Slow motion close up.. Keep Reaching trolls.

LeBron

LeBron LeBron LeBron LeBron, LeBron LeBron. LeBron LeBron, LeBron LeBron LeBron LeBron!! LeBron LeBron?? :facepalm

Am I doing it right?

[No_Look604]

forget the steps when he's closer to the rim...

that first step should be called everytime and that gets called in like junior high school. The 2 1/2-3 step sh*t while finishing okay but that first step is wrong.

then on top of that LBJ's footwork is so f'n ugly...there are way too many steps to keep up with at one point. Ugly.

This isn't junior high, this is the NBA.

This is always how they've called it in the big boy league. Get with it, my man.

[tomtucker]

i only counted 2 steps.......

[Big#50]

The step before the dribble. It'll never be called.
Wtf at getting rid of Hibbert. Like Lebron wasn't going to the rim in that situation. Who hired this idiot?

[All Net]

That step never gets called..no matter who you are.

[Floppy]

His right foot was established as his pivot foot and as long as you dribble the ball before the pivot comes back down, it is not a travel. Look up the rules bruh
:roll:

stfu.

[Harison]

It wasnt really a travel, but then again Lebron travels so much and never get called for it, so I dont really see whats the point of this thread? Thats how NBA works, superstar gets special treatment, even if he travels (which he didnt in this case).

[niko]

Yes, he travelled. So did everyone else on almost every big drive to the hoop. So does Hibbert all the time when he's doing the hokey pokey in the low block (Put my right foot here, then spin, left foot there.)

You watch the NBA right? A travel is nine steps and the player yelling I TRAVELLED PLEASE CALLE IT!

[annbafan]

George should have stayed a little farther from Lebron to force him shooting a jumper instead of coming up very close to him and giving a space to go to the rim

[PJR]

It was by no means shape or form a travel. Not even close.

[niko]

It wasn't (nor should it) have been called but he took three huge steps. That's a travel.

[Cangri]

You are a moron, take off your hating glasses. It wasn't a travel, and anyone that says it is loses all their credibility.

This. Like what the **** are these dudes even looking at? Straight fabricating.

[niko]

You're an idiot. First of all i'm not rooting for the Pacers. Second he took THREE GREAT BIG STEPS. Third, i said "IT SHOULD NOT BE CALLED". If that was called there, it would have been awful because it happened on 30 previous plays with no call.

But reality is reality he stops dribbling, takes that first huge step, then does the layup two step.

[edrick]

Hope that mofokka tears his ACL next game. HATE HIM

Did he **** your wife, kick your dog, or something else? lol

[nashwade]

What about the bogus call that fouled out Wade?

you win some you lose some

[dh144498]

lebron james is the only player in the nba who constantly travels and has absolutely no proper footwork but never gets called for it.

this.
lol at all the Lebron stans saying "it's only a travel if it gets called". that's so disgraceful to even say. Play the game the right way, stop flopping, stop crab dribbling, etc. If it was the opposing team that did it, you'd all be so butthurt.

[Trollsmasher]

If this is travel, then every NBA player travels on every freaking possession. I would surely enjoy game with travel called every 5 seconds.

[pegasus]

I think he did take 3 steps including the gather-step, but it didn't look as bad as his usual travels, so I was OK with that one. He did however push off George right before he caught the ball and that created a just enough space to attack the basket. Still, even that didn't look as bad as his usual push-offs. It was the Pacers' coach's fault for taking Hibert out. He made that mistake twice in the most crucial moments.

He overcoached his team, and they didn't even execute well coming out of timeouts; they just got extremely lucky twice but still lost in the end.

On to the game 2.

[WayOfWade]

I always thought picking up your dribble was never constituted as your last dribble. So your gather step doesn't happen on the last dribble, but when you actually pick the ball up, allowing you to take those three legal steps, gather, 1st, & 2nd, all after your last dribble.
I may be wrong!
But I doubt it.

[bmd]

That wasn't a travel.
