Its a travel because he took a hop and then he took 2 steps. When you hop you have to land on both feet or its a travel.

You can land on one foot if you go up right away (It would be awkward, but it wouldn't be a travel). It's the step after the land that makes it a travel in this case.

Wait, is this an NBA rule? Because that would never be called a travel in FIBA basketball. We don't see his last dribble but it definitely looks like it was simultaneous with his first step in the gif (when he gathers the ball), so after that he should be allowed to do 2 steps. I have never heard of a "hop" rule (that's not even really a hop, he's just going high/slow after his last dribble instead of straight).

To be 100% honest, I don't know if it's a NBA rule, I never studied the rule book nor was I ever a referee, it probably is but it doesn't get enforced very much. I did grow up playing ball in high school and in college though and this is what I was taught. Kemp gathered the ball, then jumped (granted it wasn't a big jump, but it was definitely a jump and not a step). You're not allowed to take another step after coming to a jump stop, you can take a step before and then come to a jump stop, but as soon as u do a jump stop, you have to STOP, that's why it's called a jump stop. You can always fool the referee and it's up to interpretation, but technically I believe it was a travel. I watch my share of FIBA ball too, I'm pretty sure it would be a travel there also, but I may be wrong.

I mean if it's not a travel, what's stopping a player from running down the middle of the court, gathering the ball and doing a long jump from 18 feet away, landing in the middle of the key, taking another step and dunking it home lmao.

Mmm I guess you're right in that it would be up to interpretation. I understand what you describe but I don't see it the same way, because I don't see it as a jump, definitely a step for me. It kind of is similar to the euro-step - it could be considered a jump/hop too then. For me, when Kemp gathers the ball, he still has the momentum of a running shot/layup, not the kind of momentum one has for a jump. I'm from France, so I've only played with FIBA rules my whole life, and I don't feel like it would be called a travel. I'm not a referee though, but I have friends who are, I'd be curious to hear their take (and will ask them lol).

As for the last part of your post, I doubt anyone would have the momentum for that lol! Plus it would be such a slow move that defenders would have all the time in the world to get in front of him.

I just noticed that Byron Scott looks like Sgt James Doakes from Dexter.
