LeBron travelled twice in the last play..

[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.

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.

I don't know where in Europe you're from but that's a massive travel in Europe. I would know, I've played for the swedish youth national team and in the highest league in Sweden. I've gotten a ton of travelling calls like that.

You idiot, a step before a dribble is a travel.
And it was no half-step, it was a clear step. He took 4 steps, not 3.5..

It was a travel and you just shot yourself in the foot.

A step before a dribble is a travel? Please tell me you're joking?

I'm done

You're not allowed to take a step before the dribble, are you serious?

9/10 times that play is a travel in college.

When you have to use college ball as a reference, you know the argument is over.

You can't be serious, I know that you have LeBron's ball in your throat but a step before a dribble on a drive to the basket? Are you serious?

Wait.... Did you seriously not know that the traveling rules are different from NBA and Europe?

Dude i remember from efes-olympiacos Spanoulis had a very similar sequence. I dont remember which game it was at the end of the regulation i will look it up.

[Cangri]

Not a travel, and if you say it is then you are a retard and don't know sht about basketball.

Wait, they know it's not a travel, they are just hating Lebron after he proved them wrong.

Are you saying the NBA has better officiating?! Lol please stop.

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.

As i said before MJ did this regularly actually he was famous for it,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.
