even in hs they won't call carrying unless the ball is over your sholders or the play gives you an advantage if i'm walking the ball up and half carrying the ball up until a defender is on e they won't call it it's actully hard to not carry it's the natural motion i used to drible up between my legs to prevent carrying you can't carry and dribble between your legs

Yeah...but I don't think a lot of young guys realize the reality of what traveling really was.
It went from...loping with a ball...to taking 4-5 steps.
There is no sport - that hasn't enjoyed playing with their rules to increase fan support...so I don't blame Stern...(well I blame him)
But football ended up doing the same thing...and changing the NFL with their non-contact rules.
But Stern really totally changed the NBA...and he made them a lot of money because it embraced the Globetrotter model. Is this basketball? Answer...nobody seemed to care. Stern won. You can manufacture real sports at a high level for profit. He proved that.
