Why is so hard to call traveling? There's a discussion right now going around about Caron Butler's traveling in the previous game of the CLE-WAS series. I mean what is the deal with the NBA? Wasn't it one year that they were calling it every time it happened? Put your top 5 "travelers' of the NBA


Mine top 5 list of "travelers" goes like this...

1. Dwyane Wade
2. LeBron James
3. Manu Ginobili
4. Amare Stoudemire
5. Tony Parker

In that last game Lakers- Denver didnt they state that Carmelo lead the league in traveling and no one was even close behind him.

Lebron is the worst by far. If half of his travels were called he would average over 10 TO's a game.

1. Lebron James
2. D-Wade
3.
4.
5.

I'd have to think about numbers 3, 4, and 5 but D-Wade has this one spin move where he can cover like half the court (still despite that move he's no Lebron when it comes to taking extra steps AND getting away with it).

I think this is one of the things we should appreciate about the generation of chuckers the NBA went through. Iverson, Francis, and Marbury might not have been as good as the hype around them but at least they didn't blatantly travel every couple of plays.

Those guys had handles...
