I mean seriously, it is obvious this guy has no idea what the rules are. It wasn't "one step" last year. I haven't seen the new NBA rule book but I doubt it will say anything about "2 steps". Traveling will still be called with the movement of the pivot foot. The NBA already had different rules (opposed to NCAA, NFHS) regarding alighting with the ball and establishing a pivot foot. I doubt a slight change to that will have a large effect on the game.

The previous NBA rule stated that the player could come to a stop with "a two-count rhythm" whatever that meant. The problem was that the phrase was not precisely defined and no one had any idea what the officials were using. Now we at least know that the standard is two steps.
That clarification alone is significant.
