Just to reiterate, the lane boundary lines are part of the lane.

I was talking about in the NBA

Then the lane extends to the wider lines.

Then ignore the lines inside, they are irrelevant.

Also, around here we generally assume high school or NCAA since those are the levels we work. Few of us even follow the NBA. An NBA question is more likely to get NBA answers if you identify it as an NBA question up front.

In fact, in the NBA, you can pretty much ignore all the lines for 3 second violations. It gets called about as often as a travel.
