He forgot the dribble lol

I remember Lanard Copeland doing something very similar in Perth once. Only two or three steps, though, and it wasn't called.

Wow. Can that be anything other than "I'm a superstar so rules don't apply to me" ??
Bizarre

The refs almost didn't call that.

They birthed the sport maybe they have it right..
So the UK gets to dictate the worldwide rules for Soccer, all forms of Rugby, Cricket, Tennis, and Golf.
Whilst Greece has perennial rights pertaining to all Olympic events.
Can we use this to stop other competitors using the Australian Crawl in freestyle?

It's probably easier to judge when a player takes more than two steps then it is to judge an AFL player running a distance of 15 metres or whatever the rule is.

Well...I mean it doesn't really seem right to set a very specific rule and then actively break it.

I guess it's not kosher to make a rule stating:

"A player is allowed a maximum of 2 steps, but 3 steps will not be called a travel, nor will 4 steps if you spectacularly dunk the ball in the process. If you take 5 steps, then you'd better be bloody good. Like, comparable to MJ good."

how would the refs know if you are Latino ? Most refs don't even know the names of players.

Since 9/11 it is much harder to travel in the USA.
Since Trump, it is much harder to travel in the USA if you are Latino.

In the US they've always had a much more lenient view of travelling from the NBA down. It's always seemed to be don't let something like that get in the way of a spectacular play which along with all the iso ball and superstar calls guys like Kobe and Iverson used to get just put me off the NBA in general.

FIBA ball has always been about the rules first spectacular play second and the game is better for it.

Try to take five steps or less and you'll be fine in America
