A) Worst video ever.
B) What is this 2 steps nonsense?
C) Please review what a "gather" is and how it applies here before stepping back on the court.

This one's not really even close.

The issue here is not whether or not the footwork when broken down on video is a travel.

The issue is that in real time in real life when you determine the gather takes place.

I don't like the NBA rule as much as I like the NFHS/fiba rule and interps. I think that regionally/nationally and god forbid internationally there can be a better job done of establishing guidelines and following guidelines for things like:
-when the gather occurs
- difference between a stride and jump and step
- whether a step is what they want to take on the catch or could take
- when the ball leaves the hand vs. when the dribbling motion starts
etc.

I think it's pretty evident what the Op is referencing. The OP is referencing the NBA rule book, which specifically uses steps to determine the pivot foot. The play in question wouldn't even be an issue under NBA rules.

He needs some NBA quality video for me to know what he is talking about.
