(i hope i'm not annyoing)
How many steps can a player take not to travel?? I always thought it was two and that's how i usually play, but i've seen NBA players, say Kobe, take 3 steps and no call. He often drives to the basket taking 2 steps then one more and pulls up and shoots.
Lots of us criticize the NBA refs for not calling traveling. The problem is that we are applying the high school or college rule to the NBA. Some of us say the reason it's not called the same in the NBA is that the refs let it slide due to the entertainment value of the league. The real fact is that the travel rule in the NBA is different! The refs are calling it according to the NBA rules.
