Is this traveling? It doesn't look like it but to cover that much ground. I tried to find a Harden doing it to that extent but couldn't. Time embedded link below.

Naw Harden it's like this.

When can preseason games get here so we can watch the rookies do it against better competition.

Its a step and a gather. If he did it towards the rim no one would think twice. But going the other way makes it look like a travel

Watch it at .25 playback speed. He starts the stepback while he has a live dribble. When he gathers it, he's already in midstepback. He literally takes two steps to get behind the 3pt line. The amount of ground he covered in what is basically one and a half long step backwards is insane. Requires great balance, ankle flexion, and loose hips. Or something. I don't really know what I'm talking about. I'm just eyeballing it.

it’s a travel
but they are letting it go and harden and others have been doing it long enough where young guys are picking it up

Summer league or not, it doesn’t matter. That move was unguardable.

A lot of hardens moves are travels because he shuffles for extra distance. This move is essentially a jump stop but going backwards instead of forwards.

Watch the video at .25 playback. He suspends his dribble mid step back and finishes without lifting either foot for another step.
