  1. This wasn’t the only time either. It’s whatever to me to be honest. We never get the benefit of the doubt

  2. I just laugh when they actually build him up to be this offensive “great” when his game is predicated on driving down the lane with force & essentially cutting down with his length his dribbling b/c lord knows you make him pick up…he’s a TO waiting to happen let alone he can’t dribble & consistently shoot…

    And people think he’s better than Jokic 🤣😂…and Wembys already starting his trajectory

  3. At game speed, it looks legal enough for the ref to give the benefit of the doubt, especially for a superstar.

    The gather happens when the ball stops spinning in his right hand, which is like half a second in slow motion footage before the two hand gather. You’re not picking up that difference in real time. If you count the gather at the true point, then it would be a travel since gather on right foot, then left, right left. At game speed, ref would say gather on left foot, then right left, which is legal per NBA rules.

    And before someone says anything about the ball being in the right hand for an extended period of time, can you control a spinning ball against your hand without its spin stopping?

  4. Really? The funny thing is that in any minor league, or scholastic league, it is a travel violation, not to mention the offense foul which is happening after.
    It is ridiculous, then referees call initial travels when a player is moving fast in dribbling

  5. Crawford and Reggie were having so much fun with that. Old heads from the dribbling-mandatory era.

  6. And you got Thanasis dancing like an idiot in the background. Tha-nasty loves being a nepo baby. I’ve never seen anyone so happy to have a job purely due to being related to someone. That’s why the bucks are a joke of an organization. What a waste of a roster spot.

  7. Dear calls we can see Brunson get some.of those but never anything that blatant.
    Not the reason why we lost though.

  8. There’s maybe an extra step after the gather ends, at game speed it’d be practically impossible to tell. This is fine.

  9. not a travel. count the steps after the gather. if you’re mid step while gathering that first foot planting doesn’t count as well (“zero step”).

  10. They need to reduce the number of steps you can take before being called for a travel. Basketball is supposed to be a team game.
