How is this not a travel?

That's the Flintstone step.

 

5 steps? Travel.

DD

 

Crab dribble.

 

gather steps

 

i counted 5 steps.

 

Throw out the rule book. It's Showtime !

 

i counted 7 steps

 

No call, fair game. Remember Nick Johnson winning shot against the Wolves a couple games back?

 

If they called that, then players would lay the ball up more during breaks which the NBA definitely does not want.

 

That was at least 7 steps.

However, I think the official rule book states, and I quote, "A player can not take more than like 2 steps with the ball in hand, UNLESS said steps are done so fast the feet of said player appear to be a blur, then said player is allowed at least like 7 steps, brah."

 

Correct non call. He took 2 steps after gathering the ball. It's what people used to complain about Harden when people thought eurostep was a travel. In this case, Brewer did no eurostepping.

 

No eurostep, just ran like a maniac while carrying the ball.

 

I wonder what (if anything) was going through Cory Brewer's mind during these 19 steps.

 

Haha, no.

Brewer's travel there will never be confused with Harden's euro step. It's not even remotely a similar play. Not sure what you're watching.

 

you can take as many steps as you want between dribbles, as long as the ball isn't in your hands.

 

I count five steps, conservatively. So that's three steps either before or after the two gather steps. Good lord almighty -- that' just embarrassing. That would even get called at Rucker.

 

Breakaway dunks off steals sell tickets and boring travel calls well... Just don't

 

Breaking: Vikings reach out to Brewer with league minimum NFL contract.

 

That's how traveling is called in the NBA. It doesn't matter what fans think should be a travel.
