#1 is not a travel, it's a jump stop. #2 is a travel but that goes uncalled constantly. #3 is a travel but just barely. I can see why it didn't get called. #4 also a travel by the book but if you are trying to show Lebron travels there are 1000 examples far more obvious than these.
Tony C I'm sorry, but LeBron took one step before his jump-stop. That brings his total number of steps after dribbling to three, meaning it's a travel.
Thor Christensen I believe that step was completed at about the same time the left hand got the ball back. A dribble ends when it's back in the hand not when it's back off the ground.
***** you obviously dnt know basketball or play. You can't take a step and then hop. you have to take a bounce on the step and leave the floor off both feet. if you take a step and a hop that is 3 steps
- 1st one not a travel. - 2nd definitely was a travel, should have been called. - 3rd one wasn't really a travel. Yes, there was a minute slide with the left foot but no advantage was gained from it. It would have been a petty call. - 4th one was a big slide, definitely should have been called.
Anthony D Nah man, I WAS more of a 90s fan.... Penny Hardaway, Jordan, Shawn Kemp , Hakeem Olajuwon. Then I grew up and realised that I have better things to do than idolize basketball stars
Lewis James-Odwin I wouldn;t have called the 3rd one either, but you;re wrong on the 1st one because on a hop step you have to leave off 2 feet land on 2 feet, anything other than that is a travel
It's not a travel today. For the first 100 years of basketball it was a travel, for the last 15 years it's a hopstep or eurostep. No matter what you call it by the rulebook definition of traveling it's a travel. The leeway of the league though it's a "step" of some sort. James harden and is shuffling feet are in the same category
@@itz-luigi1210 It hasnt been a travel since at least 1986 when I started playing basketball. Thats a hell of a lot more than 15 years ago, even though sometimes it feels like 15 days ago. The eurostep is not the same as the hopstep.
That was WAY more than a hop. He jumped and landed on both feet and THEN jumped again to shoot. If this were legal, a player could easily attain 100% FG percentage.
+turdsandwicher , not calling the travel does not mean it didn't happen. He traveled on each play. I am guessing you are young. In the old days, when they actually used the rules, those are travels,
+tedbert they've never called that pivot foot slide a travel in the nba. because every single player does it.........that 1st play was not a travel. I'll do that exact move in a hundred leagues and it'll never be called
***** , you cannot lift your pivot before dribbling. "your foot will slide a few centimeters when sprinting. Get off the couch and try it" I played basketball for 30+ years. It was very easy to keep my foot from sliding. Also, James isn't sprinting. "then his dribble landed before his third step landed" You have no idea what constitutes a pivot foot, do you? You must be in your 20's or younger. You aren't allowed two steps and then a dribble. Try reading the rules of basketball. Do you need me to copy and paste them for you?
None of these are travels, only arguement is may be 2nd where his foot is slightly lifted off the floor. All the drives before he takes a step off the pivot, the ball has already left his hand which means he is dribbling, and all NBA players do that since forever.
The first one wasn't a travel, the others were trivial. They don't call these pivot travels outside of the paint on anybody in the league. The refs understand that some things technically are against the rules but do not affect the outcome. If they called every minuscule violation like that the game would drag
Thank you! Dealt with so many ignorant middle aged nba fans I’ve met that complain traveling COMPLETELY RUINED THE ENTIRE NBA and I’m just like stfu with that narrative it’s taking one tiny trend of how they CHOOSE to call it for everybody and making it something else
number 1 no travel, number 2 clear travel, numbers 3 and 4 clear travels also, but small enough to go unnoticed, unless you are specifically looking for travels.
AliMD76 how is #1 not a travel? You cant be fucking serious? You cant leave the ground with both feet and land back on the ground with the ball still in your hands. Fucking duh......welcome to 1st grade basketball.
@@maninblack9850 another one who's never heard of a HOP STEP / JUMP STOP and its perfectly legal. What you describe cannot be done IN THE ACT OF SHOOTING, but is PERFECTLY LEGAL in the move before the shot/pass. Its clear you've never played BBall in your life, nor been coached, because IT IS SPECIFICALLY TAUGHT by every single coach/academy I've ever been to. Get off your ass and go play real ball.
Isn't it a travel? I know what a hopstep is and what you're supposed to do is jump and land on both feet TWICE = two steps. Lebron took 2 steps (one step each with both feet) THEN landed on TWO feet = three steps
The rule does not specifically refer to steps but to "counts" after your pick up your dribble. You could technically pick up the dribble in the air...land on both feet for one count...go in the air and land on both feet for your second count and execute your shot. In this particular play...Lebron actually does take 2 counts. Far from a travel although he does travel a lot in general. Some of the worst footwork ever for such a high profile player.
Look at how he demonstrates how to do a hop step. Lebron did the same exact thing but he took a bigger step. It doesn't matter how big or small the step is a step is a step
Did you not watch the video, your supposed to hop off of that first step. Lebron picks up his dribble, takes an additional step and hops off that. That was a travel.
iDominatemkwii What makes a team "super"? Was Harden, Westbrook, KD, and Ibaka a "super" team? Magic, Worthy, Kareem (all in the HOF)? Was that team "super"? Hell the 80s Celtics had HOF playerS (plural) coming off the bench. Were they "super"? Or do you just hate LeBron? There's a reason only 2 teams from the West (LA and Houston) and 3 teams from the East (Celtics, Philly, and Detroit) went to the Finals in the 80s. Because they had the best players and the best teams.
***** Just to let you know, The first travel shown on the video isn't a travel. In NBA if you collect and step at the same time you still have 2 more steps. Since he hopped that counts as 2 steps. If he pivoted after the hop that would have been a travel. Just to let you know
Slight correction.. the jump stop counts as 1 step if you come down on 2 feet.. otherwise you're right.. if he had pivoted it would've been a travel but since he came down on 2 feet and went up with his shot, it's a legal play. Only those who don't know the rules think otherwise
LBJ is most disgusting NBA super star in the basket ball history. A lot of young fans who compare with MJ and claim that he will transcend MJ's records and position. Come on!
1 is a travel in Europe, not in NBA. 2 is a travel everywhere. 3 is technically a travel if you look it under a microscope, but it isn't called anywhere in this world. 4 is a 50/50 call.
+Denis Wurm Europa is one of Jupiter's moons but you're right he's tripping over himself trying to defend lebron. The dude travels all day but he isn't the only one
Me defending Lebron? LOL I'm the first in line to call him LeFlop or LeBrick. 3 is a 50/50 call, NBA referees don't like to call that because it wasn't THAT obvious. 1 is clearly 3 steps in Europe, but this also isn't getting much calls in the NBA. You niggas should stop tripping.
If Jordan would’ve done any or all of these he would of been called for traveling. He was always getting called. He was watched the most out of any player of his time. All of Lebrons travels that he scored on should be subtracted from any totals in history books.
The first one was not a travel. You can jump off your first step and jump stop... That is how you do a jump stop... Don't really get that one. These are alll terrible hahahaha. none of these are even travels. Your pivot foot will have some movement no matter what... When you take your first step your foot will slide back. You can pivot on your heel or toe
first one is a hop step, as long as you land on both feet simultaneous (which he does) it is considered as one step -> therefore only 2 contacts -> no travel.
If your 30 years old and up, You and I know both know these are travels!!!! But we also understand how the game caters to LEBRON in particular! It's all good! Real ballers know...we ain't worried!
Someone is quite upset that Lebron keeps beating his favorite team. 1 is not a travel, 2 isn't getting called on anyone, 3 isn't a travel, and 4 isn't getting called on anyone in the league. The sliding pivot foot happens every game to all sorts of players and never gets called.
+SuperDave B-Ball its not a jump stop, its a hop step... and that just proves that you don't know what a hop step is... you clearly don't play basketball... you can't actually have possession of the ball (two hands/ holding it) when you jump... if you do thats just jumping with the ball in your hands... the whole idea is that you dribble the ball and as its coming back up from the floor you hop to another location and grab the ball after you have already left the ground... if you actually do play basketball then you've been doing it wrong and traveling this whole time... fix your game...
+Mitchell Carter That is a jumpstop, a hop step is subtly different. You're allowed to come down on both feet at once, and that's a dribble move we teach to AVOID traveling all the way down to elementary levels. In the NBA you're allowed two steps, and one can be a jumpstop. With his particular footwork in the clip, had the right foot touched significantly first or he attempted a step-through then it would have been a travel. Here's a video so you can learn the correct definition of a hop step. www.nba.com/video/channels/nba_tv/2014/01/23/making-the-call-hop-travel.nba/
Player is on the move. Ball is being dribbled with left foot on the ground. Player collects, right foot hits ground - pivot foot established. Second step both feet hit the ground. Player jumps off both feet and shoots before either foot touches the ground. LeBron is a rampant traveller but this instance is actually really good play. And legal. He can land on both feet and lift one or both feet if he wants as long as neither foot reconnects with the ground after leaving it.
you’ve got to be kidding me with this video. Take any ball handler in the NBA thats played more than 5 years and you could make a compilation of missed “Travels” NBA is a fast moving game. Hard to get every call. OBSESSED
Checkout the play this year when he took 4 steps on a break away dunk vs the Celtics... Avery Bradley calls it... the official... not so much. It's almost laughable!!
tim w I've looked over the video, there was one travel, and maybe one more if you're strict, so yes, LEBRON HAS TRAVELED, big surprise, everyone ever to play has traveled once before, if you haven't you're either stupid or denying the truth. I really don't get what is the big deal over one or two uncalled travels (because I could find you two of stephen curry's uncalled travels in the nba finals alone)
1st one's not a travel.. first step is the step after the last dribble. in this video the "first step" is with the last dribble so it's not really a first step.
Plus, the idea is that you jump while the ball is in the air during your final dribble. Thus making the extra step legal because the dribble had not terminated yet. Lebron took a crab dribble, gripped the ball with two hands, took a full step and then jumped onto two feets and jumped again. Wasn't close to being anything legal
He only traveled in one clip. Let me justify: the first clip LeBron preformed a hop-step which counts as 1 step if both feet are planted. Second and third clip: his pivot foot did not leave the ground but, moved hence the word PIVOT, therefore both feet are allowed to move. Fourth clip: He did travel. I'm glad to educate everyone.
I thought the first one was a travel too at first. But when you slowed it down, it was clearly a well executed jump stop. If he would have started the hop any later or taken another step after, then it would have been travel.
1st one is a pro hop, 2nd one isnt a travel, its not like he took a whole step, his feet slid a little but to give him some momentum to drive, everyone does that and it never gets called, same for the 3rd one and i didn't understand the last one because you made a jump cut, why not leave the full play? and im not even a lebron fan
you cant take a gather step, another step and then jump for the pro hop. and nobody moves their pivot foot before starting their dribble, its a travel.
The first one is fine. The 4th one was like the uncalled Corey Magette travel LOL. But overall I'm more pissed that Lebron "draws" so many fouls when he initiates 90% of the contact.
These are all travels. No one here saying otherwise has a clue. #3 is very subtle however and would probably not be called in any circumstance. In #1 he completes the gather, jumps, lands with both feet and jumps again. In the rest he clearly moved pivot foot before the ball even leaves his hands.
LOL...travela his ass off every game. Bruh, already the most gifted, physically superior talent in the league no wonder he seems unstoppable. Not to mention the way he pushes off with his off arm every time he gets in the lane
The first is definitely not a travel. You're allowed to take one step and a hop. What bothers me is that the NBA doesn't call the one step, hop and a fake a travel. By rule, after a step and hop, a player has to go straight up. Once he fakes it, its a travel.
wow as a celtics fan i feel very disappointed with the calls not just in game 7 4th qtr but also in the game(not sure if game 1 or game 2) where the C's got fucked up in OT by the refs. coula made the finals that year and maybe even get banner 18
Those were clear travels(except for the first, its legal). But I think in the game your not paying attention to small details such as this. Now again it looks small, but that small space james created by sliding his pivot foot was enough space to use to take off. So in all honesty those travels were very important to the game. You people sticking up for james must not have played basketball cus you would know how much that spacing he created by sliding his pivot is important.
only the latter two could be called travels, but realistically speaking, if you watch the NBA regularly, you will see basically every perimeter player do this. it usually isn't called unless its quite blatant or if the pivot foot actually moves off the ground
As a Celtic's fan and a Lebron hater, I'm really not going to make that big of deal out of it. You can find a travel by either team if you looked really hard every time down the floor.
The first example in this clip is not a traveling violation. It's a legal jump stop if both feet hit the ground at the same time. Everything else this guy does with the basketball is almost always 100% traveling.
How is one of the most athletic professional basketball players ever, regularly traveling & also being considered in the GOAT conversation. It looks like he doesn’t even realize he’s traveling? How is that possible at this lebvel?
1. illegal jump stop. 2. shuffles both feet. 3.illegal pivot foot launch dribble step. 4. Pivot foot moves a mile and spacing for fluke luck three pointer is artificially created. Verdict: Celtics get fucked out of a playoff victory for Lecheat hype purposes.
I don't think the jump stop was illegal. First clip isn't a travel. The others were travels but happened so quick that I can't blame the refs for missing it. Every player gets away with those.
Travel: pivot foot can't move on the floor till a dribble was accomplished . The "travel" he did definitely gives him an extra illegal space to get rid of defender. That's sad.!
Some of these aren't travels, some probably are. But to me, it just shows his basketball IQ. NBA players know the rules, but not everyone thinks through exactly how it's best to optimize using two steps only, even if he messes up or abuses the rule sometimes.
smh at all the people in comments saying #1 isn't a travel. learn the rules. you can't go from a step into a two footed hop. each foot touching the ground is considered a 'step'.
That first 1 is a legal jump stop. The 2nd one is a travel. The 3rd one, don't get ticky tacky. The foot can move slightly, maybe not as much as it did. The ball was going to the floor before his pivot picked up. 4th one, same deal. Especially in the NBA, that's not going to get called.
And on the last one that travel had absolutely no effect on the game he pulled the ball out!!! He scored purely off of his own abilities on that. Shuffling his foot gave him absolutely no advantage there
Referee: Man, LeBron is travelling a lot this year. But, with the money he paid me, I'll be travelling a lot this year too!

Wasn't that a travel or a carry before he passed the ball on number 1? Not before he shot it. It seemed he walked a few steps with the ball.
Mary El you can't really see his feet in the video before he passes the ball. Hard to tell.
Thor Christensen I believe that step was completed at about the same time the left hand got the ball back. A dribble ends when it's back in the hand not when it's back off the ground.

I guess this dude who made the video doesn't know what a jump stop is in the first clip.
+SuperDave B-Ball true
+SuperDave B-Ball It is called a hop step
+LegisLaytor no matter how you call it, it's no travelling
+SuperDave B-Ball its not a jump stop, its a hop step... and that just proves that you don't know what a hop step is... you clearly don't play basketball... you can't actually have possession of the ball (two hands/ holding it) when you jump... if you do thats just jumping with the ball in your hands... the whole idea is that you dribble the ball and as its coming back up from the floor you hop to another location and grab the ball after you have already left the ground... if you actually do play basketball then you've been doing it wrong and traveling this whole time... fix your game...
+Mitchell Carter That is a jumpstop, a hop step is subtly different. You're allowed to come down on both feet at once, and that's a dribble move we teach to AVOID traveling all the way down to elementary levels. In the NBA you're allowed two steps, and one can be a jumpstop. With his particular footwork in the clip, had the right foot touched significantly first or he attempted a step-through then it would have been a travel. Here's a video so you can learn the correct definition of a hop step.

First one was a power hop.
That's a made up term
Player is on the move. Ball is being dribbled with left foot on the ground. Player collects, right foot hits ground - pivot foot established. Second step both feet hit the ground. Player jumps off both feet and shoots before either foot touches the ground. LeBron is a rampant traveller but this instance is actually really good play. And legal. He can land on both feet and lift one or both feet if he wants as long as neither foot reconnects with the ground after leaving it.
Most rushing yards in NBA
He didn't travel, his foot stayed on the floor. And that clutch 3 though!
travelocity must be paying him for the advertisement
you’ve got to be kidding me with this video. Take any ball handler in the NBA thats played more than 5 years and you could make a compilation of missed “Travels” NBA is a fast moving game. Hard to get every call. OBSESSED
Checkout the play this year when he took 4 steps on a break away dunk vs the Celtics... Avery Bradley calls it... the official... not so much. It's almost laughable!!
#LeTravel
First clip was gather step to a hop nba won't call that
That perfect jump stop though
lol the last one is the funniest.
Bro its 2014, the LeBron haters was so 5 years ago
ikr
Did anyone see that his hairline grew back this summer?? Lmao
Dakota Frazier lol yea probally because he lost some weight
It's gone again lol
This is where the LeBron haters live lol yall sad!
I swear
Chris Robb
Some of them are Champions, chilling in the Bay
tim w I've looked over the video, there was one travel, and maybe one more if you're strict, so yes, LEBRON HAS TRAVELED, big surprise, everyone ever to play has traveled once before, if you haven't you're either stupid or denying the truth. I really don't get what is the big deal over one or two uncalled travels (because I could find you two of stephen curry's uncalled travels in the nba finals alone)
Witness but he did lose. And does lose a lot when it counts.
Exactly. I don't know why some people feel the need to single out Lebron James.
Can't argue with any of these
1st one's not a travel.. first step is the step after the last dribble. in this video the "first step" is with the last dribble so it's not really a first step.
You're wrong man. People used get away with it here and there but it's illegal by basketball rules. NBA addressed it and said it was illegal
Plus, the idea is that you jump while the ball is in the air during your final dribble. Thus making the extra step legal because the dribble had not terminated yet. Lebron took a crab dribble, gripped the ball with two hands, took a full step and then jumped onto two feets and jumped again. Wasn't close to being anything legal
Im guessing your a celtics fan
You forgot to mention how much he carries the ball on his drives.
He only traveled in one clip. Let me justify: the first clip LeBron preformed a hop-step which counts as 1 step if both feet are planted. Second and third clip: his pivot foot did not leave the ground but, moved hence the word PIVOT, therefore both feet are allowed to move. Fourth clip: He did travel. I'm glad to educate everyone.
Lol these aren't travels.
Are u blind or u someone who dont play bball?
dude its all traveling violations but I Still think his game is unbeleivable
DoesNotExist305 moving you're pivot foot before u dribble is a travel... You must know nothing about basketball
Brandon Wessels or hes a heat fan
And you must be blind stop watching basketball
It's called a pro hop
For people saying he don't travel... Are blind, go watch Bob Knight break down of NBA stars. He speaks the truth about these NBA stars.
I thought the first one was a travel too at first. But when you slowed it down, it was clearly a well executed jump stop. If he would have started the hop any later or taken another step after, then it would have been travel.
He hopped off one foot and landed on two, 1 + 2 = 3
That's not how it works...
I didn't know that at first, but now I see the rules
you allowed to do that
1st one is a pro hop, 2nd one isnt a travel, its not like he took a whole step, his feet slid a little but to give him some momentum to drive, everyone does that and it never gets called, same for the 3rd one
and i didn't understand the last one because you made a jump cut, why not leave the full play?
and im not even a lebron fan
you cant take a gather step, another step and then jump for the pro hop. and nobody moves their pivot foot before starting their dribble, its a travel.
you get a gather step and then on that step you can jump and land on two feet
The fuck is a pro hop? You mean hop step?
What he means is traveling.
Pro hop???!!! He clearly takes both feet of the ground and then jump AGAIN! If that is legal on the NBA we should not called it basketball anymore!
You can move your pivot foot, you just can't pick it up.
The first one is fine. The 4th one was like the uncalled Corey Magette travel LOL. But overall I'm more pissed that Lebron "draws" so many fouls when he initiates 90% of the contact.
Lebron is a cheater
He must be having mini strokes during the game, thus forgetting the basics even 8 year olds know
These are all travels. No one here saying otherwise has a clue. #3 is very subtle however and would probably not be called in any circumstance.
In #1 he completes the gather, jumps, lands with both feet and jumps again. In the rest he clearly moved pivot foot before the ball even leaves his hands.
Some of these aren't even travels and the rest are questionable lmaooo
This video....great dedication.
First one isn't a travel, it's a hop step, completely legal.
the king of the travelings aksdjfksdjf
gotta admit that three was perfect
All those points awarded after the flagrant traveling. Smh...free points to pad his all time scoring.
LeBron, traveling the world 4 steps at a time
The first clip was a clean hop step.
LOL...travela his ass off every game. Bruh, already the most gifted, physically superior talent in the league no wonder he seems unstoppable. Not to mention the way he pushes off with his off arm every time he gets in the lane
*travels*
The first is definitely not a travel. You're allowed to take one step and a hop. What bothers me is that the NBA doesn't call the one step, hop and a fake a travel. By rule, after a step and hop, a player has to go straight up. Once he fakes it, its a travel.
wow as a celtics fan i feel very disappointed with the calls not just in game 7 4th qtr but also in the game(not sure if game 1 or game 2) where the C's got fucked up in OT by the refs. coula made the finals that year and maybe even get banner 18
Actually a hop step IS legal in USA basketball, that's why no ref calls it a travel....
LeBron: I WASN'T TRAVELING!!!!
First one wasn’t
Impossible for referee to call that specific fouls bro
Those were clear travels(except for the first, its legal). But I think in the game your not paying attention to small details such as this. Now again it looks small, but that small space james created by sliding his pivot foot was enough space to use to take off. So in all honesty those travels were very important to the game. You people sticking up for james must not have played basketball cus you would know how much that spacing he created by sliding his pivot is important.
only the latter two could be called travels, but realistically speaking, if you watch the NBA regularly, you will see basically every perimeter player do this. it usually isn't called unless its quite blatant or if the pivot foot actually moves off the ground
As a Celtic's fan and a Lebron hater, I'm really not going to make that big of deal out of it. You can find a travel by either team if you looked really hard every time down the floor.
Wow the last part even without lbj point doesn't change the fact the that Boston didn't score a point
The first example in this clip is not a traveling violation. It's a legal jump stop if both feet hit the ground at the same time. Everything else this guy does with the basketball is almost always 100% traveling.
They wouldn't call that in college
Ok. First one vs Boston was a legal “hop step.”
How is one of the most athletic professional basketball players ever, regularly traveling & also being considered in the GOAT conversation. It looks like he doesn’t even realize he’s traveling? How is that possible at this lebvel?
1. illegal jump stop. 2. shuffles both feet. 3.illegal pivot foot launch dribble step. 4. Pivot foot moves a mile and spacing for fluke luck three pointer is artificially created. Verdict: Celtics get fucked out of a playoff victory for Lecheat hype purposes.
I don't think the jump stop was illegal. First clip isn't a travel.
The others were travels but happened so quick that I can't blame the refs for missing it. Every player gets away with those.
@@jaceh4942 It 100 percent is a travel because he attempts a basketball maneuver during the stop process.
Travel: pivot foot can't move on the floor till a dribble was accomplished . The "travel" he did definitely gives him an extra illegal space to get rid of defender. That's sad.!
Some of these aren't travels, some probably are. But to me, it just shows his basketball IQ. NBA players know the rules, but not everyone thinks through exactly how it's best to optimize using two steps only, even if he messes up or abuses the rule sometimes.
smh at all the people in comments saying #1 isn't a travel. learn the rules. you can't go from a step into a two footed hop. each foot touching the ground is considered a 'step'.
Check out Jump stop rule! It was perfectly legal.
No you just have to land on both feet (which he did)
That first 1 is a legal jump stop. The 2nd one is a travel. The 3rd one, don't get ticky tacky. The foot can move slightly, maybe not as much as it did. The ball was going to the floor before his pivot picked up. 4th one, same deal. Especially in the NBA, that's not going to get called.
Even if they were travels, which they aren't, you could make a reel for every star in the NBA.
And on the last one that travel had absolutely no effect on the game he pulled the ball out!!! He scored purely off of his own abilities on that. Shuffling his foot gave him absolutely no advantage there
