At this time, the ball was slapped out of his hands, and he took 2-3 steps to regain it. Go watch the tape again. You will see not one, but two officials giving the bobble signal. Can't travel without control of the ball, chief.

This is not that play, but I had rewind that one as well to see what the heck happened. In this play, he simply receives a pass while pretty much standing still. He takes all seven steps in place basically because he isn't moving toward the basket or making any head fakes. I really wish I could post some video. This play and the steps he took were of no consequence to the game. Good no call.
I still love the NBA. What great athleticism and officiating!!!!
