    Don't you guys realize OP is either trying to troll you all or so dumb he can't spell his own name. Either way you are wasting your time.

    I’ve watched the video of the ref claiming it isn’t abd he doesn’t always forget step back it sometimes he looks like he’s taking a few more steps then needed

    Don't know why he didn't do video.. Is the ball bouncing behind his back, if so then not a travel. Sure he might travel but that is because he did the move wrong, not that the move itself is a travel.

    If it was a travel then he wouldn’t have been awarded 3 more points...

    here we go...

    People can’t appreciate Harden’s skill and creativity. Instead, we have travel gurus trying to dissect his every move...

    If he was holding the ball in his hands the whole time, yes, it would have been a travel. He was dribbling up until the sidestep. Same **** he does all the time.
    This is the most deadly side step/step back move in the game. Am I supposed to believe Harden is the only person getting away with it or should I respect it for being so crafty?
    It’s been worth 3 points (all day) for years, so I will let it slide.

    I wish they just updated the rules to make them more lenient towards stuff like this. As it is now, I think it was a travel, but I don't want it to be.

    Anyone who hates on the shot, should try to do it themselves. Heck they can even travel and if the shot goes in, then maybe they can complain. But let’s be real no one can hit this shot with the consistency harden does. Haters gonna hate.

    There would be no complaints if Harden was light skinned

    Right foot is the pivot, he transfers his weight to his left to give the appearance of establishing his left foot as the pivot but if you look closely, he tip toes with his right in the process; meaning his right foot NEVER leaves off the ground. He then jumps across his body off the right foot, to his right...and techinically ONLY takes 1 step when he's allowed 2!! Clearly not a travel

    The first two frames don't count as steps because he hasn't "gathered the ball" yet. It's the part the haters like to ignore when having this debate.

    He says he "picks up his dribble" but that's incorrect. "Pick up his dribble" isn't a thing.

    Totally didn't travel. After he gathered the ball, he took two hop steps to the right.
