Refs forgot to call Traveling on LeBron James in the final play of regulation

[BallsOut]

Watch the replay of LeBron driving against the Celtics in slow mo at the end of regulation. Clearly 3 steps taken after ball was picked up. Should’ve been a turnover and ball given back to opponent. How is LeBron allowed to travel all the time in the NBA? That’s cheating the game.

To be fair though, if the refs called him for a travel every time he took three steps driving to the hoop, he'd only be averaging 15 ppg this year.

[1987_Lakers]

I've never seen Bron haters meltdown so much after an obvious no call that the refs already came out and said they missed.

:oldlol:

[j3lademaster]

You know it was a missed call when Lebron's biggest haters aren't even trying to challenge it, and instead are looking for any different angle possible.

No video.... no proof.... didn't think so.

Did they ref's admit after the game that they missed the travel??

Every Bronie fluffer on this board crying about how the game was rigged and the league is in a conspiracy.

I honestly still think the b2b foul calls on AD towards the end of the game were even worse. Phantom foul on Tatum that was challenged and overturned, then an absolutely terrible loose ball foul when he was going for an offensive rebound on the very next possession.

I mentioned this in the game thread, but it's completely ridiculous that the refs literally can't even look at a play like this on the final possession of a game unless a team keeps it's one and only challenge. There should be an automatic review of all close plays in the final 30 seconds of a game, like the NFL has in the final 2 minutes. There's no other sport where they wouldn't be able to review the final play of the game. That's something the league should definitely address and change.

Which one was the ridiculously late call?

I'm also noticing a trend where these guys wait for a player to shoot and then blow their whistle. That's as bad as getting swayed by a crowd. Still, Lebron's miscall and the officiating down the stretch was probably the worst I've seen since Lakers/Kings 2002. One ref was like two feet away from the foul and chose to ignore it. :lol

Officials need to be appropriately taxed. Players are for egregious action; refs shouldn't be exempt.

No one is debating whether it was a foul or not. There was clear contact. But don’t act like this is the only call a ref has ever missed. What about every time Lebron gets away with offensive fouls? What about the fact he travelled on the play?

Lebron is the LAST guy that should be complaining about the refs. If it weren’t for them, his career would be shit.

And the way he melted down on the court was beyond embarrassing. Acted like it was the finals

You sure? There’s probably at least 200 posts from bronies complaining about refs

It’s there on the video. All you no integrity LeBron retards will conveniently ignore the travel before the so called missed foul when nothing that happens after the travel should even be regarded.

Bron fans for you, no integrity and conveniently pretends they don’t need to follow the NBA rules and cry when things don’t go their way.

fat kid doesn't know what a gather step is which isn't really surprising considering legoat haters have proven themselves to be complete tards on a regular basis.

Of all the missed calls that lebron has gotten away with, I dont see anyone have as big as a tantrum thr lebron had.

That was one of the biggest no call travels I’ve ever seen. LeBron took 3 giant steps after picking up the ball. And lol at Pat Bev bringing a camera

There's no question it was a travel. Foul was irrelevant. Bronie choked away the game winner YET AGAIN.

[StrongLurk]

Lebron had a gather step, then two steps. So it's obviously not a travel. Not like any of these posters claiming travel care about the truth anyways.

[Gudo]

He made 4 steps after the last dribble. Even with a bonus "gather" being given today's players, 3 extra steps make it a travel.

Crazy part is the gather step was clarified a few years back, so I'd imagine any well adjusted human would get it by now.

[Gudo]

Can't wait until they allow the pre-gather step in the future

You need to rewatch the play obviously.

There are like at least 5 people in here who have called it a travel after watching the play. Maybe you’re the one who needs to rewatch the play.

Most of this board also doesn't understand the rules when it comes to what's a travel. It keeps coming up again and again on here.

Well that's at least 5 guys id suggest Lasik to...or summer school.....ya know.

Then why didn't the league say they missed the travel call also?

Because the NBA manufactured Lebron. By calling travels on him they would be exposing themselves

Nice try, f@g

[zeerghit]

i will try last time, James picks up the ball in the middle of his first step.. and he is allowed two steps afterwards.. THATS NOT TRAVEL in FIBA OR NBA, and anyone who played at least some ball, knows it.

[BallsOut]

LeBron actually gets really exposed in fiba and the Olympics when the international refs actually call traveling. There’s a reason his numbers go drastically down when the game is actually called with integrity and according to the rule book.

Absolutely HUGE travel

Yet he still cried and injured his ankle when he slipped on his tears and had an embarrassing meltdown

FVCK.THIS.LOSER

[WhiteKyrie]

Hell yeah, he traveled, he took three visible steps. Good no call on both I guess.

[Full Court]

To be fair, Bronie pretty much never gets called for that. Doesn't make it any less of a travel though.

Sure. But it makes calling it out because you need something in this instance silly.

If people are going to complain about a foul that barely grazed his arm, which almost never gets called in that kind of situation either, then it's fair game.

It’s a sad day when NBA no longer cares about enforcing traveling. You see businesses always conscious about their integrity in the public. NBA has no integrity anymore ever since they stopped caring about calling the game properly. If it’s a travel call it a travel. If this was a normal business they’d get cancelled already
