He caught it with his right foot on the floor. Then went left, right, left. I thought (in the book) that would be a travel at any level.

Well given that 1) the officials are not as strict as you on when the "gather" has taken place, and 2) the NBA rule allows "two steps", this could easily be not traveling.

Only saw the SportsCenter highlights of this game. I did not watch it.
There is no doubt in my mind that Lebron purposely led with his elbow as he was upset with the earlier hard fouls that he had received.
That said, the officials need to eject any player, even the league's MVP and star, who resorts to dangerous tactics such as this.

I want to know what the Lead was thinking. He had a whistle and put his arm up extra strong, but deferred to Monty in the Slot.

Guess you realized that if you were going to post videos, the you should post NBA videos, as the quality and clarity are much better than some of those ms videos you were posting last week......

That's right bc if it ain't in 1080p there is no way anyone could learn from the conversation.

If this is a HS game, after Hibbert gets up with help from teammates and then falls back down, do you have him removed and evaluated for a concussion?

At a minimum 480 with a close up of the action.

Technically, LeBron traveled after he ended his dribble, but that was only something that I was able to tell on the slowed down baseline camera view. This is a nit that isn't picked at this level.

The lead (Mark Ayotte) probably had a foul on Hibbert for jumping forward and toward LeBron. If it wasn't for LeBron's elbow, I would agree with the call. Great get from Monty McCutchen in the slot.
