Why is dribbling even required in the NBA now?

on LB's last dunk he shouldn't have even pretended to dribble. just run with it. Everyone gets 4 steps routinely. Bball used to have rules but other than shot clock and flagrants, there's not much left.

traveling hasn't been called "by the book" since the fricking 70s (and possibly earlier)

Well they did call traveling on both Pierce and Baby last night. Even though it was pretty clear neither traveled.

I guess the refs were like "frick it the game is over" after he stole the ball

The NBA is on a quota system. You can call traveling up to 3 times in a game. If you call it 3 times in the first quarter, the refs are done for the game, so they mete them out judiciously.
