answer: NOT in Phoenix!
The league wanted to show this commercial so bad, they want to change the rules of traveling.

No that's clearly travelling buddy.
You don't know the traveling rule. If your dribble is still considered active, you can take as many steps as you want. He has a 2-count after he stops his dribble. He doesn't stop his dribble until he puts his left hand on the ball, and after that he only takes 1 more step. He clearly stays within the traveling rule.
what the heck? so your saying he took an extra step after his 2 steps. Thats traveling.
watched it like 30 times..... im voting that lebron didnt travel on that play
His dribble was still active during those first 2 steps. Under the traveling rule, those steps mean nothing. All that matters is what he does after he's gathered the ball to stop his dribble. He takes one step after he ends his dribble.
The last time he dribbles isn't where you count the steps. There was still a point in those two steps where he could have legally dribbled again if he wanted to. When he gathers the ball, he gets a 2-count and he uses that properly. It's close, but he doesn't travel.
Now, if you want to slap him with a palming call, that's another story.
I see 3 steps after he stopped his dribble...we might be looking at different videos. =P
You aren't seeing where he stops his dribble, you are seeing it from the last time he actually dribbles. The two aren't the same.
That's the only call against LeBron on that play that can be argued for.
That was 3 steps under strict travelling rules. You can have a bunny hop but that was a hop and a step which was illegal.
But refs don't really call that a travel these days so it's a no-call. Lebron did palm the ball if you want to go by the books, but that's not called much either.
BRANDON ROY - COLD BLOODED!
BLACK MAMBA with the jackmove and then the jackhammer - Special Thanks to Manu Ginobili
Yeh I know, I know...Manu was hurt - lmao.
Timeline:
-Ball enters right hand from last dribble
-3 steps
You stop dribbling, you take 3 steps, you travel...very simple.
That wasn't 3 steps under any rule at all. You people have no ing clue what traveling is.
If your dribble is still considered active, it doesn't matter how many steps you're taking.
LOL if you use the same "rule" you dumbasses are using for LeBron, then Kobe traveled twice in this clip.
what is considered active? Cuz i see him pick up the ball and take 3 steps. For real though...im trying to understand what your saying..i just cant.
You can't go from the last time he actually dribbles the ball, you go from the time where he kills his dribble with his left hand. Technically before that he could still dribble the ball if he wanted, meaning his dribble is still active. You can't travel with an active dribble.
If what LeBron did is traveling, then any hesistation moves at all are illegal.
So Brandon Roy, who has never even been in a playoff game, gets a commercial?
nm that Roy commercial looks fake. Tlong probably made it.
i think i got what your saying..he can still dribble...(unless he palms it tho, then it would be carrying)....but if he were to dribble normally he can actually still put the ball down. The two steps start after the final step of when the ball gets carried.
yes i thinkand LeBron carries the ball big time, but if he's getting away with that, then technically the rest of what he's doing isn't traveling.
Those commercials are laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
