    At first, thought he may have took 3 steps from his gather, but pausing it showed only two steps. Clean play.

    Disagree. The Bucks are quietly building a solid core of young guys along with veteran assets. Let's see what Jason Kidd can do with a young core of Parker, Ginnas, Henson, Sanders and Knight. I think the Bucks will finish around the 10-12th spot that being said. I see them as a eastern conference potential team 3-4 years down the road.

    Don't see why anyone would call that a carry. Does he keep his hand above the equator? Yes. Does he palm the ball from the top to keep it from dropping? No. Does he bounce it higher than his shoulder? No. Not a carry. Who cares what his feet are doing? He could dance a jig.

    If you look, again. He takes 3 steps to catch up to the ball -- after the ball is in hand for his gather -- it is only 2 steps.

    Clean play.

    Play on playa!!!

    So Giannis takes 8 steps after gaining possession of the ball. I'm not sure about weird-ass traveling rules, but that's a lot of steps for 2 dribbles.

    I get that the point of this video is to be like "Wow, that guy covered all of that ground in just 2 dribbles," but he's not taking really big steps until the very end, so it's not really that impressive of an athletic feat to me. All I take away from this video is "Wow, traveling rules are pretty pointless".

    Looks like travel to me. Took two steps before he dribbled the ball.

    If he was carrying the ball or cradling it when he got full control, I agree. That doesn't seem to be the case here.

    Very high dribble lets him do that. But totally legal.
