I saw a video of Michael Jordan getting called for travelling while dribbling.
He wasn't palming, just that he was taking 4-5 quick-mini steps while the ball was on his hand. He wasn't palming or holding the ball just his steps were so quick he did 4-5 steps.
I always though you can only take maximum of 2 steps while the ball is touching your hand while you are dribbling? But with this statement it becomes invalid.

Steps taken during a dribble are not traveling, including several that are sometimes taken when a high dribble takes place. It is not possible for a player to travel during a dribble. |
