The NBA is wrestling at this point.

I haven't seen a travel in the NBA called in years. For awhile palming the basketball was a big thing but they've definitely abandoned that.

Simple. The only way you can get called for traveling is if you take about 6+ steps. Anything else is fair game.

Euro step muddied the waters even more.

It's just one of many reasons that outside of getting highly paid to watch/critique the sport, like Shaq, Charles, Kenny..
Most old school players like Jordan, Pippen,
Jabbar, etc..while admitting the speed and skillsets of the modern game, also equally deride/mock many aspects of it..
And have a bit of lukewarm indifference to it.

Not true
If you’re a rookie or any no name player, you’ll get called for walking routinely when you are run off the three point line and drive to the basket.

All NBA players are ranked on a 1 to 5 star basis. Your "star" rating determines the number of steps you can take while carrying the ball. If you are touched while carrying the ball, you must chose being able to flail around on the ground like you've been shot in the gut or the step count starts over. If you are one of the elite 5+ star players, you can begin your flailing after you attempt your shot in order to require the referee to call a foul and award free throws.

Jokic was called for a travel less than 24 hrs ago

thats easy, if you are a big name star you can take 12-15 steps without dribbling the ball
if you are a nobody bench warmer they call it correctly
this also applies to most all of the rules in many cases

Very good explanation, but this looks like it would be at an 8 y/o level, OP asked for a 5 y/o level
