He palmed the ball from beyond the 3pt line. This isn’t football, the ball moving in his hand doesn’t mean he hasn’t established control over it.

It’s completely legal, you can step as many times while gathering, dribble doesn’t stop until two hands are on the ball or it is secured.
If we assume you're correct, it begs the question why traveling is called differently in youth leagues, high school, college etc. Where most people's basketball experience lies.
I get that the NBA allows ONE extra "gather step" but there's a reason this is getting so much ridicule

No he didn't; his hand was on the side of the ball and the ball was still spinning, that is not carrying by definition.

The official rule below
A player who is dribbling may not put any part of his hand under the ball and (1) carry it from one point to another or (2) bring it to a pause and then continue to dribble again.
According to the official NBA rules it does. Yall are just making up rules based on what, i dond't know, how you call the game at lifetime fitness??

It's not one step, its just that your dribble is still active so you can take as many steps as you'd like.
FIBA has always had this rule, the 2009 rule was a clarification.

You don't need to assume anything, I'm literally quoting the NBA rules and there are countless videos of NBA refs explaining why this isn't a travel. I'm guessing HS basketball, etc. have different rules. And/or the refs are calling them the wrong way.

Whether it may be legal by some narrow interpretation of the rule, there is no way you should be able to take five steps driving towards the hoop and score without dribbling, while in obvious possession of the ball.

This shite had me laughing the other night.
Russ taking the ball up the court was worse but this is a close, close second.

A) the rules are different in lower leagues
B) this is Giannis fricking Antetokounmpo who is the most freakish athlete on the planet

The ‘gather’ has ruined traveling calls

Damn
The Thunder has 21-straight wins against Eastern Conference teams.
That's the longest streak of wins against an opposing conference in NBA history.

Bro took another step after this. How is that not palming? If your contention is that he’s still dribbling then, by rule, this is palming.

They still called that game better than the crew that called the Auburn Oklahoma game.

His dribble ended before that, at the moment below. Then he took two steps to finish.

One, the rule is slightly different for both FIBA and the NBA--
But more importantly, because there aren't athletes like that at every level of basketball. If your local yokel was *capable* of doing that, they likely would. The level of ability becomes a big separator on how easy it is to officiate things cleanly. You ever notice that the smaller and slower the action, the cleaner the officiating tends to become? It isn't an accident.
