I should have known there would be a special thread about this. No, it wasn't a travel. And this is from the NBA's website, in the section about the most misunderstood rules:
If a player jumps off one foot on the count of one he may land with both feet simultaneously for count two. In this situation, the player may not pivot with either foot and if one or both feet leave the floor the ball must be released before either return to the floor.
He put the ball down, took one step and jumped backwards, landing on both feet. No travel. At that point he couldn't have pivoted, but he didn't try to. He went straight up off both feet and took his shot.
No travel. Sorry.

I'd say it wasn't a travel, cause you can see that it's just a bacstep.

Re: LOL: Manu traveled big time
At first I was calling travel but now that I look at it in slo-mo it's not a clear travel. Ginobili's step back move and gathering the ball for the shot is coinciding with his final dribble. No way a ref is gonna be able to call that in game speed.
LOL... now there's another group of fans who can boo Manu when we play there. The Denver fans (among others) convinced themselves that he's the Antichrist.
Maybe they should add Manu to that list of the dirtiest players ever. The bastard.

It might have been a borderline travel. Who cares. They aren't going to call it there, and Spurs win.
Spurs fans need to appreciate what's happening right now instead of nitpicking our own players.
