I cannot take anyone seriously that says "3 steps were taken...." to describe a traveling. It would have been worse if he said "2 and a half steps."

And I certainly do not take him seriously when a great deal of the evidence he gives are shooting numbers from the FT line. No mention of 3 point shots or other aspects of the actual game as well.

That said, I find it hard to believe, especially from a sports writer who is wearing a "Jersey Shore"-style chain in his headshot for the site. I guess the refs aren't the only ones with poor judgment and lagging professionalism.
I do not think people on those sites with an article take the conversations that seriously. And if they do I would not really lose sleep over what they think. I doubt a comments in the article are going to make that big of a difference and I doubt seriously many people are bright enought to figure out if the person commenting is an official either.
