Basketball rule questions

I saw a video of Michael Jordan getting called for travelling while dribbling.

He wasn't palming, just that he was taking 4-5 quick-mini steps while the ball was on his hand. He wasn't palming or holding the ball just his steps were so quick he did 4-5 steps.

I always though you can only take maximum of 2 steps while the ball is touching your hand while you are dribbling? But with this statement it becomes invalid.

Palming or carrying is when the ball comes to rest in the player's hand, and the player either travels with the ball, or dribbles a second time. There is no restriction as to how high a player may bounce the ball, provided the ball does not come to rest in a player’s hand. Steps taken during a dribble are not traveling, including several that are sometimes taken when a high dribble takes place. It is not possible for a player to travel during a dribble.

As long as you continue dribbling, provided that you do not carry the ball, you can take as many steps as you want.

Pro tip: stop asking questions involving "number of steps". This whole discussion should center around which foot is the pivot, and what the players does with that pivot.
