Giannis was not called for traveling on this drive vs the Knicks

We deserved to lose that one but thought this was funny
A few others as well
He was not called for MANY drives
Even accounting for the gather, it looks like there were 4 steps after
Also an offensive foul
This wasn’t the only time either. It’s whatever to me to be honest. We never get the benefit of the doubt
It’s fine guys. He was gathering his dribble. It’s fine.
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
They changed the rules, Giannis is allowed to do that. James Harden is as well.
He traveled so hard he thought it was an away game
Yet if he was a Knick we’d be defending it. Relax guys its FOUR GAMES IN!!
Homie traveled from Athens, Greece to Athens, Georgia
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?
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
Crawford and Reggie were having so much fun with that. Old heads from the dribbling-mandatory era.
The last time the ball touched the floor was above the 3 point line
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.
European fundamentals
For whatever reason, traveling is seldom called in the NBA–
Dear calls we can see Brunson get some.of those but never anything that blatant.
Not the reason why we lost though.
There’s maybe an extra step after the gather ends, at game speed it’d be practically impossible to tell. This is fine.
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”).
It’s not a travel guys. (Just prepping for next season.)
He had another one that was even worse than this and no call smh
i dont care if he took 20 steps trade for him pls
There’s no way the NBA is rigged!
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.
Because it’s not a travel. Perfectly legal, if not completely orthodox.
