All this talk about crab is making me hungry.
I've also never seen a crab dribble a basketball so I think this is all a mute [sic, just for mbyron] point.

Can you give me a specific example of a play/move that would be a travel in NFHS/NCAA etc... and legal in the NBA? |

This will help your coach/player relationship......
From today's Washington Post:
"Cavaliers Coach Mike Brown, who was ejected in the fourth quarter for disputing an offensive foul on James, agreed with head official Bill Spooner's call that James indeed traveled on the possession."

I Think I'm Getting The Hang Of This ...
Here's my attempt at a mbryon to English translation:
"Crabs have ten legs"

Actually, that's the biological order to which crabs belong: the decapods are one type of crustacean. No translation needed!

Funny that James even thinks it wasn't traveling:
Washington Wizards call LeBron James' 'crab dribble' traveling - ESPN There's a charge called earlier where James traveled before contact - at least it appeared so to me. |

As i have stated years before, there is really no difference in the pro and college rules in traveling. The only way it is refereed different, imo, is that referees at the college and HS level is that they call travels that are marginal or really inconclusive or too close to call or plays that look awkward, whereas in the pro game we are told that we MUST pick up the pivot foot and be 100% sure that it is a travel and if we don't know, not to guess even if you go "ohhhh! that looked funny". I believe that is why the pros catch gufff for quote unquote "they never call travels".

Well, I watched it about 5 times. And I counted 3 steps every time after he had gathered the ball in. Guess he didn't do well in math class.

WASHINGTON (AP)—Add LeBron James’ “crab dribble” to the lengthy list of talking points in the Cavaliers-Wizards rivalry.
“I’ll have to check in my book to see what a ‘crab dribble’ is. I’m not quite sure,” Washington interim coach Ed Tapscott said with a smile Monday. “I do know that we don’t seem to get away with very many of them, whatever they are.” James and the rest of the Cavaliers were given Monday off by coach Mike Brown, so the world will have to wait for more thoughts from them as to whether The Chosen One did, indeed, travel a day earlier when driving for a potential tying basket in the closing seconds of Cleveland’s 80-77 loss at Washington. Referee Bill Spooner waved off the play and called the violation. Asked to clarify his ruling, Spooner wrote in an e-mail to a pool reporter: “3 steps on the move to the basket. Basic travel call.” The NBA did not immediately respond to a request from The Associated Press to comment on whether Spooner made the correct call. On Sunday, James said it was a “bad call” and that “they need to look at it and they need to understand that’s not a travel.” In giving his take on what happened, James said: “I watched it again, and I took a ‘crab dribble,’ which is a hesitation dribble, and then two steps.” Asked Monday if he knows what a “crab dribble” is, Wizards All-Star forward Antawn Jamison said, “I know what a traveling is. … I think we all know what traveling is.” Washington’s other All-Star forward, Caron Butler, gave a similar answer. “‘Crab dribble’ is when you, uh, travel,” Butler said. “That’s the hottest thing on the market right now.” Turning to a more serious explanation, Butler said he thought James switched his pivot foot.“I couldn’t do it in AAU, I couldn’t do it in college,” Butler said, “and obviously I can’t do it now.” AP Sports Writer Tom Withers contributed to this report.
