    Lebron haters are just funny. Lebron is special and I would trade anyone on the rockets for him. Actually I would trade anyone that ever played for the rockets for him other than Dream and Moses.

    How is that not a travel? I counted 4 steps before taking off.

    You mean Michael Jordan, right? Jordan. And someone probably did it before him.

    And to the OP, Brooke Elizabeth Amanda Courtney Sarah Lopez didn't get crowned. It wasn't even close.

    definitely looked like he traveled. It is pretty ridiculous when one of the best players in the game is allowed to just travel to make a good play.... or a game winning play... in the playoffs. But I guess that'd be asking too much for Lebron to follow the rules.

    He is special player, but those pre-game dances make me think he is "special" in some other way. It's so ugly that it's actually oogly.

    Yo wtf man dwyane wade is doing the same if not worst with the calls and nobody complains about Wade.

    LeBron is the arguably the best player in the league.

    I think he should start following the rules of basketball before being considered one of the greatest ever. Needless to say, his footwork is a little off, hahaha.

    It's 3.

    He picks it up with his left foot as the pivot foot. The rule means that you can't place that foot on the ground again.

    That's the foot he jumps off to dunk the ball.

    So that's 3 steps, which is a travel.

    He did have 4-5 steps in the dribble before he picked it up, but I don't mind that as long as they don't palm the ball (ie - if it's still being bounced, then 4-5 little 'shimmy steps' shouldn't really matter)

    Of course, that 'travel' hasn't been called in the NBA for 50 years - if Michael Jordon walked his whole career, why can't Lebron?
