Amazing Travel?
Cheak the Ben Gordon play, was that a travel or not? If it is, i hate when Ref's dont call it!! Lebron and Wade are the masters of travelling and getting away with it, cheak youtube videos on that.

wade's team is almost as bad as the wolves this year. in fact, if they played in the west, i doubt they'd have more than 4 wins.
so lets call it even. mavs choked last year too, so what's their excuse again? can't blame wade two years in a year!

So you can hop and take 2 and a half extra steps or what?

I always understood it as no more than two steps, your second step becoming your pivot foot when stopping or your jumping foot. Could be totally wrong though. It was always a "feel" thing when I ref'd, you could just tell what was and wasn't travelling without counting actual steps.

I think we're confusing the first step with the progress of catching the ball.
Do some slow motion layups and you'll realise that your first 'step' on a right handed layup involves catching the ball with your right hand while your left foot is either planted or coming off the floor.
Then it's right, left, up.

What gets me is that nearly everyone travels when they put the ball on the floor to drive to the hoop (lifting their pivot foot well before the ball is dribbled to the floor)... but only Bargs gets consistantly called for it.
The other night against Houston, Luther Head was clearly travelling over and over again, but the refs just refused to call it.
