not a travel. These guys always site the wrong rules. The generally are always wrong. That would be the correct rule had Wade indeed "jumped off of one foot." That was not a jump, that was Wade stopping his dribble. He hadn't collected the ball until the first foot was off the ground. He was still progressing (as in running). His dribble WAS STILL ACTIVE. So he came to a stop with two pivot feet....legally pivoting off of one of them.
also, lebron had a dunk that did not count because it went through the rim and bounced off the guy who was contesting its head and came back out through the rim [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byy42-w8tE8[/youtube]

^ Yea exactly. Besides he did all that so quick that its pretty hard to keep up with, wade is known for pulling off moves like that and they're legit most of the time
I think its technically a travel. He clearly takes a jump stop then another step. That said he looks to get bumped by the defender which causes him to take that step to steady himself. Overall a pretty fair no-call.
No, the video sighted the wrong part of the Rule Book. This is what applies in Wade's case. Wade did not stop his dribble when the video said he did. He could have still kept dribbling at that point. He did not have two hands on the ball until he stopped with both feet as his "Step One" in the rule book. Then he is allowed to pivot off of either foot. The key is when he stopped his dribble by gaining control of it.
Made by Hardwood Paroxysm which is one of the best blogs on basketball. They do this series have ball, will travel on a lot of big plays that are questionable.
Yep, this seems to be the case. The dribble stopped on the step where he landed with both feet. So he has one more step to take (in this case a pivot). 1st Step: Landing on both feet 2nd Step: Pivoting right foot
