but most of the time, the extra steps travel happens when Defensive doing a great job at stopping the offense, the offense got caught in traffic and forced to take an extra step to gain advantage over the defender & scores.
if you play basketball you'll know as a defender when the ball handler ended their dribble you can easily tell when they are going up, but you will be totally caught by surprise when the ball handler takes an illegal extra step to get past the defender for an easy layup. that's an unfair advantage over the defender, especially it's a championship deciding game like NBA Finals. And it doesn't just happen once or twice in 1 game.
