Did anyone catch the call on TNT last night on MJ vs. the Celtics? Michael put one up from about 10 feet in the center of the lane, it barely missed drawing iron, he followed his shot and somehow managed to catch his shot through a few other players before it hit the floor. I believe the call was traveling.

Hubie's comment: "Yeah, they determined it didn't hit the rim and so it was a 'self pass'. Good call."

I thought, why is that a travel? If it was a legitimate try (which it was) and he just happened to manage to fight harder to get there than anyone else and catch it, I think that should be legal.

Thoughts?
