See how VC travels: another "travel-dunk of the night"

Those kinda "no call" travels happen a lot throughout the NBA season, especially with LeBron.

on the catch? seemed pretty normal to me. i sure wouldn't have called it.

I didn't see a travel

Edit: Unless you meant before the catch...it's arguable I guess but not as blatant as the Lebron one

i don't see a travel. it was too quick. Maybe it was maybe it wasn't. It's a type of play the refs can allow & let go I guess.

Its a travel, technically. However, having the highlight is worth more to the NBA, than the call.

Yeah, he got away with a travel. But so what? It should have been called, but really, if it was anybody aside from Vince would this have even been posted here?

it's not really a travel imo, he's got a foot down when he catches it, his next step is his pivot foot, then he's got two steps from there

No way do they call that. He is in the open court with nobody even close trying to defend him. It's a borderline travel because he dribbles it as his foot is coming down.

Do you know how ridiculous it woud look if they called that travel? It would be a completely useless call.

I wouldn't call that a travel, because he is still gaining control of the ball as he is running.

it was a (no call) travel when he caught the ball. that kind of travel never gets called. you see it on half of the inbound passes. guards get the ball, start to walk, then dribble.

more importantly: anyone see Dooling's hair? what the hell!!!

travel you can't run and then dribble and run again

you guys are as bad as the refs

Travel or not the refs calling that would look so stupid, the league wants highlight plays by their stars.
