One thing. When a player is attacking the rim, either for a dunk or lay up, he/she is allowed an extra step. to gather their momentum. It's not an official rule but you ever tried running full speed then jump without gathering yourself? If you played college division 2 or higher you know what I mean by this.
I thought it was 2 steps once you had full possession of the ball? For example if you're dribbling and you stop dribbling mid way through a step you can finish that one plus 2 more. Same if you catch it off the pass, you can finish that step and take 2 more. At least that's how I've always looked at it. I think as long as it looks natural they'll usually let you get away with a quick shuffle.
You are allowed 2 steps. That is an official rule since 2009. But these all have 3-4-5... steps. They're travels. And don't ever mention "unoffical" rules. lol. Refs just ddn't do their jobs here.
Charles S It's more like 1.5 steps, on a regular layup you pick up your dribble with 1 foot off the ground, you land that foot (so half a step), take a step with the other foot, and then jump and shoot. OTOH if you were holding the ball with both feet on the ground, then took 2 steps and then shot, it would be a travel.
A lot of people on both sides don't understand the "gather step" - it's not a 3rd step, but what it means is that after you complete your last dribble, you might take a step while the ball is on it's way bouncing back up to your hand, but you don't have the ball in your hand yet - that step isn't one of your 2 steps.
If you count his first pivot foot, which is the one and only legal pivot foot, he had a total of 5 pivot foots (4 travels). But on top of it when he finally decided which foot he was going to use as his pivot foot, he leaped out of his stance before dribbling the ball which is another travel. He traveled a total of 5 times and the ref was just staring at him.
u just dont understand the game. Traveling is a rule to allow the D have a chance to stay in fount of the ball,most of the clip showing are really clear pass to the basket,and no D ever have a chance to get back in fount. if u call them,the only thing does to the game is you killing great break away moves and high lights.the reason player's doing it is because they know what they doing.
LOl traveling is traveling... U CAN"T TAKE 3 STEPS WITH THE BALL IN UR HANDS Doesn't matter wut it's supposed to do.... Were u there when they made the rule? How would you know?
bullshit. the rule also says u can't touch a play(basically) otherwise its a foul(O/Defensive) ,if that's how u understand about basketball,go play with the 10 years old,its the NBA we talking about where ref call whats the game needed and allow player play the game of basketball allow it to be enjoyably to watch ,not trying to teach them the fundamental of the game.even in the high school level refs start to let a lots stuff go in odder to allow players to PLAY!
H. John Hey in the NBA (No Barred Actions) you can take 4, 5 or whatever steps, change your pivot foot numerous times and go up and down and still go up for a shot, the NBA is a spectacle circus not so much a game of rules and mechanics as a show to low mental fans..that's why I stopped watching, among other reasons.
youre right! nba needs highlights to gain supporters and buyers to their product so that they can keep nba alive. imagine if you would stop these plays or the ref calls every violation in the game. nba would loose popularity and they will get bankrupt. all morons would never understand it. nba facilities are not free. they need maintenance and investors to keep it going.
Number 9 is not a travel. I do agree with the order you put them in. The Lebron one against the Wizards and the Magette one are the worst two for sure.
I agree, it is far too close even in slow motion I can not determine for sure if it's a travel, so of course it would not be called. Almost all the others were blatantly obvious.
I don't understand a lot of these comments. All of those were obvious travels. I don't really care what the nba rules are. If those aren't considered travels then the rules are just a bastardization of basketball. You get one step from the triple threat position and two steps off the dribble. What the fuck is this gather step bullshit?
the "gather" step is a the step in which the ball is bounced back into your hand form the floor then you get two steps from "off the dribble" its a technically thing meaning your dribble hasn't finished so your two off the dribble steps can't take place yet harden's euro step uses the gather step the best because it looks like he takes 3 steps but really one is while he is still gathering the ball (just coming into his hand at the same time as taking a step) and then takes 2 off the dribble steps
Steve Genova After they have picked their dribble in midstride, the stride they were in does not count as a full step. They do get 2 full steps after that. These dudes are taking 3-4 steps after their initial midstep which is completely illegal. On this vid a lot of the travels that look like 4 or 5 steps are really just 3 steps which is still a blatant travel.
This is actually incorrect. The rule clearly states that "The first count occurs: (1) As he receives the ball, if either foot is touching the floor at the time he receives it." "The second occurs: (1) After the count of one when either foot touches the floor, or both feet touch the floor simultaneously." That is copy & pasted from the traveling section on the NBA.com/misunderstood_5 rules page.
***** Not quite as hilarious as Kendrick Perkins' nine-step travel last year, but yeah, no idea how they keep getting away with this shit. I never knew dribbling was optional in the NBA. LOL.
I like how #9 is being explained as a travel because of something the guy does before he has the ball. That's not possible. I also like how #8 is in the all-star game, which is otherwise known for its tight officiating. I'm sure many of these are travels, but they're far from the worst of all time.
Its better if gatter step only applied to transition offence because of momentum of speed not when a player attack the basket. Remember the pivot and 3 step is travelled
You dudes and your imaginary ideas of past events. Your memory fails you. If you think the NBA had any less missed calls in the past than it does now, you're blind. The difference is, the missed calls of this era get uploaded to youtube for endless replayability. Back then, if you missed a call, only a few people watching caught it and they forget about it 2 plays later.
All of these are travels except #8. Even the two steps you are allowed when catching a pass or picking up a dribble (only in the NBA does this rule exist) it still doesn't save most of these. Basically, the rule is you can't pick up your pivot foot and return it to the floor without shooting or passing first, which clearly happens in most of the videos. All of the travels are obvious but anyone defending #10, 7 or 5-1 should just tune in to street ball. It would be more to your liking.
lebron hater, number 8 was not a travel, and two shouldnt even had been in the top twenty there are worse travels than that, mj had like 5 steps once and the 7 or 8 step travel by wade, clearly a lebron hater
Once you have performed a jump stop (both feet landing at the same time after already dribbling you can not establish a pivot foot (lift one leg but not the other). Had he gone straight up it wouldn't have been a travel.
NBA Rules clarification: It is impossible to travel while dribbling.[9] The height of the dribble or number of steps taken per dribble is irrelevant.[10
5 definitely looks like a travel, but the slow-mo replay actually shows it isn't. The first step that they count isn't a step because once again, he had already started to take the step before he picked up the dribble. He then takes two steps. The last step that the announcers count isn't a step. His second real step, or third as they count it, becomes him planting his pivot foot. He pivots off of his left foot, meaning that he is allowed to plant his right as long as he doesn't move the left.
After reading the rules I still have a question: what if you drible, stops dribling, go on pivoting, and then, use 2 steps and pass the ball, is it a travel? why?
I think uncalled travelling is the main reason NBA players are able to make such spectacular dunks. I guess it's not so easy to balance and gather momentum properly following the rules...
Traveling/Double Dribble are never called anymore. Also it is a unwritten rule you never call a travel or double dribble when a player has a clear path to the rim.
Number 1 switched his pivot foot 2 or 3 times before walking again when taking off. Its hard to see because of the vid quality, but he walked a lot! Initial catch on left pivot, then switches to right pivot (1st walk), back to left, back to right, then walks again when he takes off.
Ill give you props on this edition. With the exception of the first few (duncan shuffled before he got the ball, so they don't count as steps, 10 and 8 were iffy), most of these are travels, some of them being in the "how could you miss that" category. lol Billups taking 4 steps to tie the game? Clutch!
The officials were obviously the ones that are unemployed right now because they can't call a call that can be really important in a game. I've seen lots of travels and have been called for traveling when I play the game, but this is ridiculous how the officials couldn't call these 10 obvious travels!
ALL of these r travels. if anyone thinks otherwise, i will prove u wrong. b. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may use a two-count rhythm in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball. The first count occurs: (1) As he receives the ball, if either foot is touching the floor at the time he receives it. (2) As the foot touches the floor, or as both feet touch the floor simultane- ously after he receives the ball, if both feet are off the floor when he receives it. now stfu with that gather step and crab dribble bs, those terms r made up as excuses for traveling violations. no where in the rules will u find those terms.
Its crazy to see how much the NBA has allowed so many minds to not understand traveling and what it really is. Even in youth leagues I see it so much where young players will travel cause they saw it on TV 9 or 10 times a game (cause its pretty much a natural reaction) and every time they look at the ref a complain. I even hear them come back to the huddle talking about how the ref doesn't know what traveling is. Which is really sad cause it tells me they have no plans to go and correct that style of play. Even college ball has fallen away from fundamentals.
on that number 2 play there were 2 fouls and a travel that was horrible officiating but the first foul came before the travel to be fair. hand checking is still legal below the extended free throw line but not if it affects the players movement which it definitely did.
8 is not a travel. People seem to not realize that when most players are on the fast break, they are not holding the ball for long. They push the ball forward to get it out as far as possible. Slow down the play on #8. Lebron never has the ball while taking more than 2 steps. Its a shame people can not realize the steps you take while the ball is not in your hand doesn't count towards the steps on a travel.
the rules are above. it does not say 3 steps at all. it is all about the pivot foot. not counting steps. NBA Official Rules Rule 10, Section XIII-Traveling
Official NBA Rule 10 Section VIII: b. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may take two steps in coming to stop, passing or shooting the ball. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing must release the ball to start his dribble before his second step. The first step occurs when a food, or both feet, touch the floor after gaining control of the ball. The second step occurs after the first step when the other foot touches the floor or both feet touch the floor simultaneously. A player who comes to a stop on step one when both feet are on the floor or touch the floor simultaneously may pivot using either foot as his pivot. If he jumps with both feet he must release the ball before either foot touches the floor. A player who lands with one foot first may only pivot using that foot. A progressing player who jumps off one foot on the first step may land with both feet simultaneously for the second step. In this situation, the player may not pivot with either foot and if one or both feet leaves the floor the ball must be released before either returns to the floor.
The NBA allows traveling because if it didn't, there wouldn't be the highlight reel plays they've been showing every night for 40 years. Without traveling, 90% of NBA superstars the past 40 years might not have had great careers or even careers at all.
Actually a lot of these aren't travels because they either pivot step or most of them are just taking two big steps which is allowed when shooting and passing. Some are travels but some are just good plays
Yeah, but on #2, he didn't catch the ball. He was already dribbling, then stopped, and then moved both feet again (so it doesn't matter which foot you think was his pivot foot after he stopped, he moved both of them anyways).
Where is Rick Smits catching the ball at the top of the key running for a dunk without taking a dribble? Took 4 ridiculous strides without dribbling before dunking.
in the nba, ure allowed 2 steps be4 establishing ur pivot foot. the nba only made this official in the past few years but refs and nba officials have said that they have allowed this for many years. even if the official rule book of the nba said 1 step. its to make it more exciting.
You could have found better ones than these, most are just 3 steps during a dunk or layup, also the number 2, Lebron has the ball partially stripped from help defender while in the air of his hop step, so when he plants with 2 feet he has a fresh dribble. There's a good one of Deron Williams, highlight on NBA.com it was the one game Brooklyn beat Miami in playoffs 2014; he puts both hands on the ball in middle of his spin move, then takes another dribble.
Looking at #2, I don't see how the help defender even touched the basketball enough to be considered partially stripped when Lebron had full control of it throughout the play?
that chauncy Billups one actually isn't a travel (they count the first step prematurely)... the last foot movement was while pivoting to shoot. all the others looked like actual travels though
How can you even see what anyone is doing? It looks like I'm watching a television through a window...... from inside my car....during a rainstorm

Yet on #9 you say it's a travel because he moved his feet BEFORE HE TOUCHED THE BALL which is ridiculous.
#1 is not a travel, it is a journey...
The song is Hero by Nas
unirnmes thank you! couldn't think of it
Some are travels some are gather steps
Exactly..
W
Are you trying to say they don't count as real steps?? Lol I son understand
Yeah, half these were not actually travel.
I would say all seemed to be travels, but a few were too close to expect them to be called consistently in real time during a game.
Add Kendrick perkins to the list of ridiculous travels.
Lol how many was it for him? Like 7 steps? Haha
+AquaDonkey69 480p Ikr! ;)

Hey in the NBA (No Barred Actions) you can take 4, 5 or whatever steps, change your pivot foot numerous times and go up and down and still go up for a shot, the NBA is a spectacle circus not so much a game of rules and mechanics as a show to low mental fans..that's why I stopped watching, among other reasons.

I'm surprised... only 3?
3 or 4 times there in the the nba u think they'll know the nba better then a 12 year old

Number one is a joke. Not only did he move his pivot foot three or four times, he changed his pivot foot twice!

Not quite as hilarious as Kendrick Perkins' nine-step travel last year, but yeah, no idea how they keep getting away with this shit.
I never knew dribbling was optional in the NBA.

He effectively took seven "steps" while holding the ball. Seven.

how many steps can someone ake if he / she didn't dribble...like catch the ball and is it 2 steps or 1?
All of these are travels except #8. Even the two steps you are allowed when catching a pass or picking up a dribble (only in the NBA does this rule exist) it still doesn't save most of these.

5 definitely looks like a travel, but the slow-mo replay actually shows it isn't. The first step that they count isn't a step because once again, he had already started to take the step before he picked up the dribble. He then takes two steps. The last step that the announcers count isn't a step. His second real step, or third as they count it, becomes him planting his pivot foot. He pivots off of his left foot, meaning that he is allowed to plant his right as long as he doesn't move the left.

After reading the rules I still have a question: what if you drible, stops dribling, go on pivoting, and then, use 2 steps and pass the ball, is it a travel? why?

I dont see any part on the rule that says that theres an extra step called gather step. Thats the same excuse when somebody travels
My bad! haha i ment to put the nba would probably think that traveling calls would be bad for business
It's not that i dont know wat traveling is I just want to know how many steps is traveling 3 or 4?
Some of these fellas are taking more steps than there are pixels in this vid
Number 1 switched his pivot foot 2 or 3 times before walking again when taking off. Its hard to see because of the vid quality, but he walked a lot! Initial catch on left pivot, then switches to right pivot (1st walk), back to left, back to right, then walks again when he takes off.

@MRstevonick Which pixel is he's feet?

does anyone know what a gather step is geez look it up and it might explain alot
Which pixel traveled?
the first two or three aren't travels.... they're 2 steps... you can do that
those were 3 steps.
top 8 and top 9 aren't travelling
which one of the blurry pixels had the ball?

ALL of these r travels. if anyone thinks otherwise, i will prove u wrong.
b. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may use a two-count rhythm in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball.
The first count occurs:
(1) As he receives the ball, if either foot is touching the floor at the time he receives it.
(2) As the foot touches the floor, or as both feet touch the floor simultane- ously after he receives the ball, if both feet are off the floor when he receives it.

8 is not a travel. People seem to not realize that when most players are on the fast break, they are not holding the ball for long. They push the ball forward to get it out as far as possible. Slow down the play on #8. Lebron never has the ball while taking more than 2 steps. Its a shame people can not realize the steps you take while the ball is not in your hand doesn't count towards the steps on a travel.
which pixel is a travel
if you know about the gather step rule which states your steps don't count until you have gathered the ball number 10 isn't a travel and 9 isnt either
@chainsolid
yes it was, he takes at least 3 steps in between 1 of those bounces, count it again.
AMAZING QUALITY
the rules are above. it does not say 3 steps at all. it is all about the pivot foot. not counting steps. NBA Official Rules Rule 10, Section XIII-Traveling
the last one omg 😭💀
Official NBA Rule 10 Section VIII: b. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may take two steps in coming to stop, passing or shooting the ball. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing must release the ball to start his dribble before his second step. The first step occurs when a food, or both feet, touch the floor after gaining control of the ball. The second step occurs after the first step when the other foot touches the floor or both feet touch the floor simultaneously. A player who comes to a stop on step one when both feet are on the floor or touch the floor simultaneously may pivot using either foot as his pivot. If he jumps with both feet he must release the ball before either foot touches the floor. A player who lands with one foot first may only pivot using that foot. A progressing player who jumps off one foot on the first step may land with both feet simultaneously for the second step. In this situation, the player may not pivot with either foot and if one or both feet leaves the floor the ball must be released before either returns to the floor.
The NBA allows traveling because if it didn't, there wouldn't be the highlight reel plays they've been showing every night for 40 years. Without traveling, 90% of NBA superstars the past 40 years might not have had great careers or even careers at all.
What are you looking at? He picked up his dribble, then landed with both feet, you can pivot from there, not take two steps and jump.
My favorite one was when the white pixel picked up the orange pixel and ran to another pixel to the put the orange pixel in.
some of them are in motion because when your running to catch the ball you cant just stop to dribble when your sprinting
Actually a lot of these aren't travels because they either pivot step or most of them are just taking two big steps which is allowed when shooting and passing. Some are travels but some are just good plays
0:55
9,70 and 2 are not travels when you catch the ball they let you take one step without dribbling so you can maintain the ball
Yeah, but on #2, he didn't catch the ball. He was already dribbling, then stopped, and then moved both feet again (so it doesn't matter which foot you think was his pivot foot after he stopped, he moved both of them anyways).
7 and 4 are travels. The others are not.
Number one is most definitely a travel
They are all travels which ones are you disputing?
CharethCutestory I think my comment says that.

Sorry i was hoping you'd explain why you think the others aren't, they are all obvious travels
***** Because, in basketball, you get to take 2 steps before you have to get rid of the ball.
Where is Rick Smits catching the ball at the top of the key running for a dunk without taking a dribble? Took 4 ridiculous strides without dribbling before dunking.
I like how Lebron takes 3 steps before he even starts dribbling and the commentators here still don't think it is a travel.
number 2 was the best
What's the song pls?
In the metric system 3 steps is 1 meter, so you can take 6 steps
in the nba, ure allowed 2 steps be4 establishing ur pivot foot. the nba only made this official in the past few years but refs and nba officials have said that they have allowed this for many years. even if the official rule book of the nba said 1 step. its to make it more exciting.
You could have found better ones than these, most are just 3 steps during a dunk or layup, also the number 2, Lebron has the ball partially stripped from help defender while in the air of his hop step, so when he plants with 2 feet he has a fresh dribble.
There's a good one of Deron Williams, highlight on NBA.com it was the one game Brooklyn beat Miami in playoffs 2014; he puts both hands on the ball in middle of his spin move, then takes another dribble.
This video is from 2010.

Here's 6 steps by MJ
Worst NBA Travel Ever By Best NBA Player Ever
SpiderWaffle will it be the only example of 6 steps travel for MJ? we could find as many LBJ flop and Crab Dribbles highlights as we can！
Looking at #2, I don't see how the help defender even touched the basketball enough to be considered partially stripped when Lebron had full control of it throughout the play?
There it is. Just 10 of many, many reasons why the NBA is not fun for me to watch anymore.
that chauncy Billups one actually isn't a travel (they count the first step prematurely)... the last foot movement was while pivoting to shoot. all the others looked like actual travels though
"Yeah, but under the metric system that's only two" LMAO
They stopped calling travels about 10 years ago, they don't call carrying or palming anymore. So this is kind of a moot point.
I think we can all agree, 3 boxes to click/close isn't terrible, but the less the better. Nuff said.
and that is one reason why college is more entertaining than the nba.
song?
KOBE: wade! u traveled.
WADE: what!
KOBE: ya that was 3 steps
LEBRON: nahhh kobe... that was me
Referees aren't even trying anymore
