Is that not traveling or have the nba referees given up?

It's a travel. Boom will be here shortly to tell you otherwise.

Cc about to get this two seed. I’m lookin at that. Just google Ronnie nunn and harden ronnie is the head of officials he will beak it down for you. It is impeccable timing and footwork. No one else really has the timing down like hardwn.

Some times it is. Most of the time it isn’t. He has elite footwork that makes it impossible to call

Yet, in game #82, not a single ref has called it. So, obviously it's not.

Agreed, they never miss travel calls.

"Missed" the call for 82 games in a row?

Gonna give Harden credit for attempting a game-winner with the team down on the road, takes balls to do that, also credit to PG13 for that game-winner DAGGER

Takes balls to merely put up a shot when you're down 1? Wtf are you talking about? What was his other option, not shoot?

Clutch as hell shot from PG13. Oh well, most likely gotta play GSW earlier than expected now.

Lebron travels at times, no doubt, but unless I'm missing something on that gif, it seems clean. Gather, two steps on the "hop", shoot.

Was certainly better than Lebrun passing to George Hill, Kyle Korver, or flat-out choking like he did in the 2011 Finals against the beatable Mavs. Be better.

Some of the time it is, some of the time it isn't. It comes down to footwork, and how conditioned referees get to seeing him do it legally. Its human nature to get conditioned, to the point where when Curry did it-- and did it with the *correct* footwork, he was still called for a travel.

He gets lazy with it, and travels a ton while doing it. It isn't always a travel, though. IN the NBA there is a concept called the zero step/gather based upon when you gather the ball and plant a pivot foot. It doesn't count towards your two steps.

Should he be called for it way more often? Yeah. Is it sometimes not a travel? Also yes. Is Harden the worst thing in the league to watch? Undoubtedly.

This. The first step almost always happens before the ball has returned to the hand. The second step is actually the first step counted toward a travel. The third step is a jump stop, which counts as one step. We’re counting four, but it only counts as two by rule.
