Did they change the traveling rules?

[SSG T]

Harden may have perfected it, maybe not but the NBA rules for years has allowed for a "zero" step as the dribble ends(in essence you can lift your pivot foot and put it back down unlike below). In NFHS and NCAA you must exercise a backwards jump stop, in other words off of 1(pivot foot) to a simultaneous land which is literally and physically impossible(think of a forward jump stop, off of 1 and land on 2). The only "legal" way that you can end the dribble and attempt a stepback is "in the air" as you jump, otherwise lifting of the pivot foot(with pivot foot still in contact) and putting it back down is a travel. 99 our 100 step backs attempted in both HS and at the collegiate level are travels. Most of the time they are caught...sometimes they're not

This.

It's absolutely fine to complain about traveling in NCAA. It's dumb to use the NBA as examples.

FTR, traveling doesn't bother me all that much. Hands/holds/illegal contact on the wing drives me up a wall because 99% of the time it should be easy to call, and it's shockingly inconsistent. The lack of consistency on the wings are why the flow of the game sucks.

I know right. I looked at the date, and its said Mar22, and I said"what, how is that possible". Then I saw it was from 2015...... huh?

Curbelo gets like 5 steps as long as he high steps the baseline.

You used to not be able to improve your position when on the floor with ball. Now I see players rolling over or adjusting their position with no travel. They are letting it play out or it ends in a jump ball call.

Correct. NBA/FIBA allow zero step. NFHS and NCAA do not. There are many other rules that are not even close to the same, as well. So to compare ANY moves with the basketball and the word "travel" with anything other than NFHS/NCAA are a complete misunderstanding and lack of knowledge or interpretation of the traveling rule and it's application.

If you don't watch it why should we take your opinion seriously?

Actually the opinion of a non-customer is the most ipmortant. Those are the people youre trying to get, especially if they were a former customer. Apparently you know nothing about sales and marketing. (Which they dont offer in high school) Back to school you go

Lol the NBA wants the opinion of the dumbass who doesn't know the rules or follow the game? I think they'd prefer basketball fans, not suburban mom opinions that you seem to have.

See, organizations actually have sales and/or marketing departments which sole purpose is to capture the non-customer. Its very important. More valuable than your HS diploma

Using rules and NBA in a sentence is kind of funny .Nice

 

[HawkIDrummer]

I'm shocked that you guys are missing the bigger, overriding point.

Traveling is racist.

That's twice you've made a school joke & twice an NBA rules joke. Let's get some better material here, Mancia.

I understand the NBA wants more casuals as that equals more money. As an NBA fan it's always funny seeing people like you who live in the 90s yet act like you know anything about the product. It's better off you stick to college bball where you can whine for a whistle on 100% of the possessions.

But you're so smart on marketing!

You watch pro wrestling don't you. Doesn't matter if its its a show as long as it "seems" on the level.

Unfortunately for your argument I don't watch wrestling at any level.

Pro wrestling isn't "wrestling" at all. It's a choreographed gymnastics show performed by muscular athletes. It requires amazing physical ability...no doubt. But it's not a competitive sport...it's a performance... like Cirque Du Soliel
