WASHINGTON (AP)—Was it a walk?YEP
LeBron James wants the NBA to take a closer look at what he calls his “crab dribble.” The move, James insists, does not cons ute traveling.
A referee disagreed Sunday.
James was whistled for taking an extra step while driving for a potential tying layup with 2.3 seconds left, and his Cleveland Cavaliers lost 80-77 to the Eastern Conference-worst Washington Wizards despite wiping out a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter.
“Bad call,” said James, who compiled 30 points, 10 assists and six rebounds. “We all make mistakes, and I think I got the wrong end of the bargain. I watched it 10 times after the game, and it was clearly a good play.”
Without raising his voice or getting particularly animated, James dissected the game’s key sequence in extensive detail—even pointing out that he felt he was fouled as he released the shot, which went in.
His biggest beef, though, was with what he considered a misunderstanding of the way he moved to the basket.
“You have your trademark play, and that’s one of my plays. It kind of looks like a travel because it’s slow, and it’s kind of a high-step, but it’s a one-two just as fluent as any other one-two in this league. I got the wrong end of it, but I think they need to look at it—and they need to understand that’s not a travel,” James said. “It’s a perfectly legal play, something I’ve always done.”

Cue in the new rule dubbed 'The Lebron traveling exception'...
Wow. Ok its not a traveled because Lebron James says so.
gtfo!
Nothing personal. ducks just hating LeBron like he's supposed to.
This thread isnt about lebron, it's about traveling.
they called a traveling call on tp last game with 1:04 second left in game
but you did not see tp raise such a fess
well i guess hes like a little kid. They have let him get away with it for so long he thinks its ok now.
Cant spell class without a-s-s
He probably thinks that ridiculous 3-or-4-step move against the Wizards in the 2000whatever playoffs was legit too. Those who saw it know what I'm talking about.
haha obvious 3 steps lol...what a dumbass..learn to count Lebron.
is he going to get fined for calling out the refs?
Problem is, that he is so often not called for traveling, that he thinks 3 steps are OK.

He actually watched that 10 times and wants the NBA to look into it? Talk about ballsy!
I would not expect Lebron to say something like
"I travelled, end of discussion." Dude is still looking for drama.
"I didn't go to no college."

Travel!
Bet Washington would rather have had that call the two times in the playoffs.
A french ref recently said that they (the refs) didn't bare calling all the USA players travelings during the olympics, otherwise there would have have been 1000 calls by game and the crowd would have gone vrazy on them (the refs).
He notably mentioned 2 kobe's travelings in the finale in the clutch that weren't called.
It's basically a jump stop but he doesn't land on both feet at the same time, which gives him an advantage above and beyond they typical jump stop. I spend as much time defending LBJ as anyone on this board, and that, my friends is a travel every day of the week.
I actually understand him saying its not a travel. He does it all the time and its not called, so when the ref actually calls it he clearly thinks it wrong call. It just shows how much protection he gets from refs. If he would dunk this instead of making a layup, it wouldn't be called.
I've seen OJ Mayo do that and get away with it, and I've seen CP3 do that A LOT, although a little quicker and get away with it too, but at that speed, you can clearly see it's a travel.
This one is nice!
