Read on Twitter


I don't even think it's that hyperbolic.

Dang.... was there odds on how many travels they are allowed to call on GA per game? That was pretty obvious

That must be all that talent I'm hearing about causing these high scores.

Let some of these new fans tell it, it's not a travel.

Yeah tough to beat 5 steps going right to the basket. There have been travels with more steps but it's usually a player standing in place.

Today’s players are so much more skilled than past generations. Plumbers from the 90s wouldn’t be able to do this move without a travel being called.

As much as Reggie was blowing him throughout the game, I'm surprised he even acknowledged it as a travel.

As bad as this was, I feel like this happens almost every night in the NBA.

And Adam Silver wonders why fans don't have any confidence in the officials calling the game correctly?

This is the zero step + crab dribble + step through.

Ball's still spinning in his hand when he takes the first couple of steps and hand's not under the ball. Allowed. Then it's just a regular gather plus one two. No travel.

If anything the very first "dribble" where he lifts the pivot before putting the ball down is technically the travel.
screw these absolute garbage refs
