Look at video time "1:48".

Nicks vs. Nets

you will see that the pivot was the first leg. not the second that he jumped on later.

Because it's the NBA.

It wasn't a travel. It was "the old school upfake" according to the announcer - and they're always right.

Howinthehell would we know? It's the NBA. They don't know themselves. And they really don't care either. It's entertainment, not basketball.

You don't see traveling called by rule in the Globetrotters' games, do you?

I don't think that you should expect a clear answer. For one thing, the NBA just changed the rule, so you'd have to know the date of the tape and the date of the rule change to begin to answer the question correctly. But even then, the NBA philosophy on traveling has been obscure.

So that's the answer to the question, "why didn't this draw a whistle?" If your question is really, "is this traveling in any other rule set," I suspect you already know the answer.
