Vid request - Traveling in NBA vs others
Video request for Warriors vs Clippers on ABC. With 4:34 left in the 4th quarter, KD controls a loose ball, travels, and passes to AI, who travels, and scores. Classic!
Found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa83IndTJp8 Got to 11:27 mark in the video. |

Two Wrongs Make A Right ...

Oh look, another holier-than-thou high school official complaining about the NBA, and not knowing what he's talking about. Yawn.
On the Durant rebound you could argue that he didn't control the ball until his left foot touched the ground. And even if he clearly gained control with his right foot as the pivot, it's far from clear if he released the ball before the right foot came back down. That's not even a clear travel in NFHS/NCAA. But you're probably an "if it looks funny it's a travel" guy. Iguodala's move wasn't anything close to a travel. The initial control with the left foot on the ground is the zero step. You should probably learn NBA rules before creating stupid threads like this. |

Assume for a moment, the first one wasn't, or it was a college game. The T correctly took off to cover the break leaving no one in the right spot to have a good look at the ball. The C is looking through Durant's back and can't get a good look at the ball and the L is looking through several bodies. Even if were a violation and even if it were one they wanted to call, it would be a tough call to make. |

Was there an update to the NBA book or video rule? The Igoudala play appears identical to the below NBA video, which the NBA indicated was a travel. https://videorulebook.nba.com/archiv...ving-the-ball/ |

I can bet my soul that NBA officials are exponentially more accurate in adjudicating travels according to their ruleset than college/high school officials are according to theirs. Quote:

Both plays are very tight and in many cases hard to see at any level with quick enough players. Peace |

The NBA even called it a travel so there must have been some sort of update....unless everyone on the forum that said the last move was not a travel was wrong. |
