I didn’t think the called traveling, anymore. For that matter, double dribbling and palming the ball are offenses of the past. And the 3 second rule has gone the way of the dinosaur.
Linguist if I was able I’d click Thumbs-up on your post. My thoughts exactly. Use to sometimes call traveling steps.If you took more than one step without dribbling. NBA they take 4 and 5 steps. It’s so odd.
Last night, KB shook his finger at a ref, and of course, since it’s KB, no technical was called. Then, at the end of the game, this happened. Per panel #3, he’s protected, even when he makes the stupidest plays possible.
mabrndt. and the ref was running right next to Rubio while KB fouled him. That ref should be suspened, but he won’t because KB is still one of the NBA stars
“When a place gets crowded enough to require IDs, social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere. The best thing about space travel is that it made it possible to go elsewhere.” — Robert A. Heinlein
What Heinlein failed to mention is that something similar can be said about sports organizations — except, of course, the part about space travel. (Unless, of course, we plan to play basketball in space?) I think basketball as a sport may be dying — and not just at the NBA level. Have you seen a college basketball game lately? Not pretty.

Agreed, Linguist. It’s stupid, and one reason I don’t watch the NBA

Thanks for that video, disgusting as it is.
The announcer said it would take courage to call that foul. Why would it take courage to call an obvious foul. Is it not the ref’s exact job?
