    NBA, where players and refs are fundamentally sound

    Awesome Youtube video.

    I can only blame the players but so much, when the league allows (intentionally) its entire corps of refs to overlook basic traveling violations.

    That, along with all the other ludicrous non-basketball calls/and no calls (ex. automatic foul call for a player on the wrong end of a charge if he's within the semi-circle) and it's no wonder we've been getting our rears handed to us in International play.

    Guys don't get that properly called games don't give you automatic trips to the line if a defender challenges your wreckloose leaps into the lane.

    Yao Ming does the same thing and rarely gets called for it

    That was one of the comments. :rolleyes:

    Man I noticed most of those travel calls even before it was slowed down....so that makes it more shocking that the refs didn't catch it.

    I hate the chrage rule too. I also detest that no one ever calls the two-hands to the back post up defense. It's blatantly illegal and the easiest thing in the world to see.

    FIBA adopted the no-charge circle along with a rectangular lane last year.

    Maybe they can hire Tim Donaghy on a work release.

    geez, that's just bad...

    Yao does travel more than he gets called for, never THAT blatently though.

    why have rules if they're not followed?

    This is one reason why I hate the NBA. Could the officials be any worse? It it was Wafer, they would have blown their whistle with the first pivot foot switch.

    I hate the star treatment.

    nba refs suck. i see lots of players palming/carrying the ball and they never call it.

    That was hilarious. He travels and then horse-collars Maurice Evans.

    Its funny how travels+fouls are officiated in the NBA as opposed to how travels+fouls are called in the college game. In college the fouls are hard to come by and the travels come quick. In the NBA you have the opposite. You'd think it would be vice versa.

    That wasn't a travel, it was a crab dribble.
