Giannis with the worst travel of all time

[RookieStar]

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

So skilled.

Dont forget :

- PALMING ability
- free-throw merchant-ness of Brunson SGA Embiid etc

[babyjax13]

Corey Maggette has the worst travel ever and it isn't an argument.

You guys who think you know basketball really need to take a closer look...that's not a travel.

Spoiler:

That's two travels

I'm on the 'AI is getting scary' side of that issue, but AI officiating tech can't come soon enough.

The refs had the over on 4 steps.

The dribble doesn't end with the last bounce. It ends when the ball comes to rest in the players hand, or his hand is under the ball, or he uses two hands.

Giannis ends the dribble while he is in the air. Then 1-2. Second foot is the pivot foot. Then, step (pivot), shot.

Unless the travel is at the start.

Love how on some of these the commentators immediately see what's happening (without slo-mo), same for opposing coaches/players, and the refs don't see anything.

Definition of the Gather
https://official.nba.com/new-language-in-nba-rule-book-regarding-traveling-violations/

The following definition of the gather will be added to the definitions section of the playing rules:

For a player who receives a pass or gains possession of a loose ball, the gather is defined as the point where the player gains enough control of the ball to hold it, change hands, pass, shoot, or cradle it against his body.
For a player who is in control of the ball while dribbling, the gather is defined as the point where a player does any one of the following:
-Puts two hands on the ball, or otherwise permits the ball to come to rest, while he is in control of it;
-Puts a hand under the ball and brings it to a pause; or
-Otherwise gains enough control of the ball to hold it, change hands, pass, shoot, or cradle it against his body.

In my opinion, he put his two hands on the ball, gather two steps. He didn't put his hand under the ball or brought it to a stop until the gather two steps. But (in my opinion) he absolutely had enough control to at least pass the ball. But honestly, this is a real problem for basketball fans. Can Giannis or Wemby take one dribble and let the ball spin in their hands while they run from one end to the other? The rules kind of allow it.

It’s a new move called a euro travel. Totally legit.

GaThER sTeP!!!!!!

[zimpy27]

Yeah it's a travel

[Inigo Montoya]

That's not a travel, that's an entire journey. Frodo Baggins took less steps to get from the Shire into Mount Doom in Mordor.

[G R E Y]

That's not a Eurostep. That's the Eurail Pass, travel across 33 countries choochoo!

Egregious, even for a star.

p.s. looks like many of us were on the same wavelength haha

[Inigo Montoya]

Giannis is simply auditioning to star in The Long Walk part 2.

[Sofia]

Get him a bus pass

[UcanUwill]

Man, Simpsons called out NBA for not calling any travels like 20 years ago by now. For how bad this is, this is not even close to worst examples. When Americans first sign over here, first thing they get instructed and have to adapt to is different travel officiating.

[gavran]

Travel, then pushoff, then and-1. Some players have it so easy.
