The reason it's so rare to see a lane violation in the NBA is that the rule is different from the FED or NCAA rule. (Big surprise.) In the NBA, you can step into the lane as long as you're out again before the ball is released. So you sometimes see guys step in but quickly get back in their space. And that's ok.
Rule 10 - Section I -h.
