So just let the players make up the rules as they go?


no worse than the refs making them up...

that gif of Bron above, what advantage was he gaining? a ref making a traveling call there is solely about himself and his own tv time, not about the game and the players involved

No, so are they changing the rule by calling traveling only when guarded? So why not just walk the ball down from the end of the court until someone is guarding you?

that's not the point. he broke the rule. call a travel.
You keep giving them an inch and eventually you get something like this that has major implications



The thing that pisses me off the most is when they do call a travel. you can't pick and choose who and when you want to enforce the rules.
quote:

a. A player who receives the ball while standing still may pivot, using either foot as the pivot foot. b. 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 says "a player" but it should say, a "superstar" or "a player about to make a nice dunk"
