Euro or travel? Either way James still has this in his bag pic. At first glance, it sure looks like Harden is taking three steps before he scores the ball, which would be against the rules and should be whistled as a travel.
For a player who is in control of the ball while dribbling, the gather is defined as the point where a player does any one of the following:. Puts two hands on the ball, or otherwise permits the ball to come to rest, while he is in control of it;. Otherwise gains enough control of the ball to hold it, change hands, pass, shoot, or cradle it against his body.
The gather will be expressly incorporated into the traveling rule to clarify how many steps a player may take after he receives the ball while progressing or completes his dribble:. A player who gathers the ball while progressing may a take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball or b if he has not yet dribbled, one step prior to releasing the ball to start his dribble.
A player who gathers the ball while dribbling may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball. Travel violations can happen in many ways, but in the end, you are technically allowed two steps when in control of the ball. If you catch the ball in motion it has to be out of your hands bypassing, shooting, or dribbling, if not this can be a travel.
Jumping up and down with the ball is a travel, so it obviously depends on the type of violation. So what do the rules say I will go over them using the NBA Rule Book as a reference, most of these rules are universal. A player who receives the ball while standing still may pivot, using either foot as the pivot foot. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball. This is pretty clear you are given 2 steps to come to a complete stop, pass or shoot.
A player who receives the ball while he is progressing must release the ball to start his dribble before his second step. Even when the ball is in full control a lot of players do not put the ball down by the second step more like they have already taken their second step and now dribbled not released the ball. The new rule reads, in part: "A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball.
It is believed to be the first time any league, at any level anywhere in the world, has explicitly allowed two steps. In March, NBA vice president of referee operations Joe Borgia told TrueHoop's Henry Abbott that referees had long been instructed to ignore the rulebook on this point and allow two steps.
On a conference call with reporters earlier this week, NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson told Abbott: "Based on Joe's comments, when you had a conversation with Joe, we did in fact tweak the language on traveling in this year's book. Enforcement of the one-step rule has been hit-or-miss at every level of basketball.
Borgia, whose father was also an NBA official, said he cannot remember a time when NBA referees did not allow two steps. Others insist allowing two steps represents an NBA strategy to aid scorers and make the league more exciting. Legendary point guard and current Knick broadcaster Walt "Clyde" Frazier says the league relaxed traveling standards some time ago to increase scoring.
Some of them are so obvious. You'll hear me on the broadcast saying 'That's a travel! Watch the feet! Whether or not this will affect play on the court remains to be seen. Referees have long been instructed to allow two steps and in interviews with NBA players last season there was some confusion about the rule. But most said they thought they were allowed to take two steps.
