I was just watching in TV and interview of Mr.Rigas, the most respected ref of all times who has played 3 world cap finals and 3 Olympic finals and now, after retirement works for FIBA and was responsible in the negotiations that resulted in converging the rules between the NBA and the rest of the world...

Mr. Rigas was explaining by presenting many videos why FIBA (federal International Basketball association) rejected all the refs that were suggested by the NBA for the world cap...

I never noticed before, because I didn't see this game live due to time difference...

FIBA ref? I stopped reading right there, lol.

Lebron walked the ball up the floor without dribbling

Kendrick Perkins took like 7 steps at the 3pt line once.

Countless spin moves by players are actually 2-3 steps.

This is nothing

Does the rule book says "it's nothing"?

I believe They say it’s 2 complete steps. They changed it for Lebron in 2009 or 2010 to be different than real basketball.

Which means the jump step is traveling, the step back jumper is traveling, the Euro-step is traveling, the "crab-walk" is traveling, etc etc. Instead, we now have "gather steps" and other nonsense to allow for more spectacular plays.

They are. But no one calls them anymore at any level cause the nba stopped doing so in the 90s.

Please stop all these nonsense... FIBA & NBA rules on traveling are exactly the same... No step back, or Euro step was ever traveling in basketball rules...

Traveling rules are quite simple... You are allowed to take two steps before you shoot or pass, or throw the ball away... As long as you take no third step, there is no travelling...

If a player is dribbling the ball, then his pivot leg is the one that is first on the floor AFTER HE STOPS DRIBBLING (therefore has possession of the ball)... His pivot leg is considered the point of initiation (point "0"), then first step is when his other leg is on the floor and second step is when the pivot leg is back on the floor...

No. You’re wrong. In real basketball two complete steps is a travel. You are allowed to lift your pivot foot off the ground to pass or shoot (otherwise even a jump shot would be a travel), but once you bring it back down (like you would have to for a second step) it is a travel.
