[@mylesp89]

The key is "control of the ball". This makes it almost impossible to call bc the game is happening way too fast to tell at what exact point the ball has been gathered while simultaneously watching when each foot is stepping.

[@RobinXlone]

just count the steps after he picks up the ball. shit is easy. then if they try and argue it tell em that they took the 0 step after picking the ball up so its a travel. u can agree with em and still prove em wrong

In college basketball, technically it is a travel violation. It is the definition of pivot foot that matters to determine if it is legal or illegal, not the number of steps after dribble. It is the consideration of while gathering the ball that makes a lot of confusion.

These NBA gather/control rules have been invented out of thin air just a few years ago, and it is changing the game for the worse. It's just a matter of time before all players eventually master the "0 step" and virtually all lay ups will consist of 3 steps because it's virtually impossible to objectively determine control or gather. It's very subjective, and the fact that they claim this can to be decided in real time by a referee is quite frankly an insult to one's intelligence. So long the days where a player like Dr. J had to perform miraculous dances around his defenders with just 2 steps. It was like a ballet. Having 3 steps at your disposal (by mastering a so called gather step) changes the game entirely.

[@sanchoperez1017]

Aren’t all basketball rules invented out of thin air? But the gather or 0 step rule is in the NBA and FIBA, so pretty much world wide professional leagues. NCAA and NFHS don’t have the 0 step rule yet.

[@PeterBagjuice]

The zero step/gather step rule just formalized what was already in existence, there's ALWAYS a step that you take with a live dribble prior to corralling the ball and taking your two steps. All the NBA did was codify it

[@bpmachete]

This rule was integrated in 2018 in FIBA and NBA in 2019. This was a travel in the past, but they stopped calling this from 2003-2004 when the nba was changed by gathering off the wrong foot. Please don’t pretend this was always part of NBA rules unless you suggest that everyone before 2003-2004 year just didn’t know they could take an extra step. This was considered a travel because you gather and that foot that is down was considered your pivot foot, you could lift it but you could not return it to the ground, unless you did a Hop Stop, and neither foot was a pivot foot. I am not sure if this zero step is integrated into highschool or other leagues...

[@monkeydog8681]

It wasn't added per se more like clarified. The gather step was acceptable since the 80's (maybe even earlier) they just don't call it the "gather step" back then. I watched a lot of 80's games since my dad have a shit ton of DVD of games in that era and they don't call them travelling.

[@bpmachete]

@@monkeydog8681 It was added and check the videos again. When you gathered while taking that step, that step was the first step. In fact there is none of the two step in general, you have to understand the real basketball rules still in effect around the world. When you pick up the ball that foot is your pivot foot, then if it is raised you are not allowed to establish another pivot foot you have to shoot or pass. You could gather and hop stop that was where none of the two feet when landed could be pivots. But in general you will see them gather when stepping with right foot then lift take that one more step and go up with it. That's just the way it is in real basketball.

[@chesterwilberforce9832]

Thank you. I wish we'd have been able to take 3 steps when I was in high school in the dim dear past.

On point. Too many players were coming into the league with AND1 habits so they HAD to stop calling it so strictly. Same reason the 3 point line was moved forward because players couldnt shoot worth a damn in the early 00s.

[@mysticlegion8088]

Yes, i dont think he underatands what people are calling a "gather step". This is a normal lay up.

[@AaronMichaelLong]

Yes, it's a travel. It's always been a travel, it's just that the NBA stopped calling travels back in the early 2000's, and have now updated the rulebook so that all those missed calls were made legal after the fact. Here's the progression: 1) NBA players start drafting players before they have enough development to actually learn how to play the game of basketball. 2) Athletically gifted but unskilled players don't learn proper footwork. 3) NBA referees don't want to stop every third play because they have to teach 19 year olds how to dribble in a regular season game. 4) The league devolves, and the next thing you know, everyone now takes three steps after the last bounce. Go back and watch any highlight reel of NBA dunks from before 2000, and you won't find any of that gather-step nonsense. They take two steps after the last bounce.

[@nsp932]

This is very well said, Traveling is easily one of the calls missed the most. For anyone who’s played basketball these moves with an extra step (making it three total) don’t even feel natural. This rule was changed in 2009 I believe and since then the nba has been less enjoyable to watch in my opinion.

[@louieb1218]

If you bounce the ball on your last step while you step that is the gather so you can take 3 steps cleanly hence "they take 2 steps off of the last bounce"

[@louieb1218]

There is no question about this move. It is the same thing as if you caught the ball and put it on the floor with both hands poping up to shoot a shot (post move). It is also the same thing as a hop step. The hop step is a gather step. The gather step is done correctly when the ball and the floor meet at the same time. I have never seen other wise

I appreciate that he mentioned that those are NBA rules for basketball. Wether its NBA, FIBA, or whatever league their rules apply to those leagues. When you go to a court for none organized basketball are you really expecting people who may have played their for decades to adopt rules they had never played under simply because some organized league made or changed rules? Professional leagues are entertainment and often change rule with that in mind.

[@Zwerggoldhamster]

I think you are reading the rules wrong. "Gaining control of the ball" refers to situations where it is not quite clear who the controlling player is. If you just pick up the ball after dribbling, that rule normally doesn't even come into play.

[@stopmarcus3605]

Uh no

[@mccauleybacalla2228]

[@OfficiatingBornVideos]

The problem is you start with the level that very few people play under those rules. That is not the rules at the *NF (high school level) or the NCAA* . That "gather step is considered the pivot foot and then if you pick up and put down that foot before passing or shooting, it is considered a traveling violation. There are no steps criteria for traveling. It is all about the pivot foot. Also, there is no such thing as a "league rule." The rules on traveling almost always directly use National Federation Rules, which are the rules that every state in the union uses for their high school associations. Most middle schools adopt those rules as well. It would be almost impossible to use their own rulebook or write their own rulebook. So they are not reinventing the wheel, they are using what is already out there. The final thing, traveling is almost always one of the hardest rules to officiate. It is hard because players move fast and often officials see only part of the action. You must have control of the ball and sometimes the play is going away from you or you are looking through bodies to see the ball or the feet. It is inconsistently called at all levels, from high school, and youth ball to the college and pro level. A lot of people view the NBA and try to apply it to the level they play at instead of the NF level where rules are clearly written and discussed. So just this video alone is partially contributing to the confusion of the rules by starting with NBA rules and not addressing the NF or NCAA Rules that most players will play. Even FIBA in this country is not the same as US Rules sets, and it should be noted if those are the people playing at that level the most.

[@personperson3326]

That's still wrong. Even if you give him three steps they go all the way to 10 steps and double dribble the ball and I'm not even talking about caring about and that's caring about what you saying. The problem is the league want the game to go fast but they don't want people to understand you can't not travel carry and double dribble. It's wrong no matter what the league rules are they teach you that all the way up to high school. It's wrong and those are the basic rules of the game. But they don't call them no more the ref.

[@joondagoon6774]

Sure wish you basketball video trolls would stop using NBA rules as examples. In high school basketball there is no zero step. The pivot foot is established when the dribble ends. You only get two steps after you end your dribble.

[@lancerubel9453]

I agree, but the "steps" issue is confusing. The rule book states that after the dribble ends, you can not lift your pivot foot and return it back down to the ground before the ball is released from the hand for a shot or a pass. So usually on a layup one foot (the pivot foot by definition) is on the ground when the dribble ends, meaning you can only take one step with your non-pivot foot before the ball is released. The pivot foot can not come back down for a "second step" otherwise it is technically a travel by high school and college rules.

[@The_Flamekeepers]

Most guys who get traveling complaints take an EXTRA step after the one where you are shooting and not bringing your foot back down. Thats why people complain.

What a lot of people don't know: - As it doesn't matter what you do with your feet while dribbling (as explained in this video) - it doesn't matter what you DO WITH YOU HANDS / THE BALL while taking your 2 steps (as long as you don't start another dribble)! So you can pass the ball to yourself (even multiple times) after the gather! As long as you don't - violate the traveling rules (> 2 steps, landing on the same foot, ...) with your feet - and don't start another drible -> it's legal. When using the backboard to pass to yourself, even the number of steps doesn't count. The rules have much more margin than most people think.

[@GojoRamsay888]

It should be "in act/or about to control the ball" because like Kyrie who use fake that looks like he about to shoot the ball but he didnt touch it with two hands then continue dribbling which is good, while harden has a way of delaying to hold the ball with two hands but has no intention to dribble it again and while doing that taking an extra step to gain advantage. There are players like D.Rose, Ginobli, MJ (cradle dunk) who gathers while having the ball with one arm and they dont have zero step. Lebron, Giannis, Harden are known to taking more steps than usual so its referees fault for not counting it and just used the zero step BS to save face. Gather step is better term than 0 step young bloods will took it as 0, 1, 2 instead of just 1, 2. 0 1 2 is 3 steps if not done right

[@tyroneleak1813]

A gather is just a hestitation dribble. You can’t count the steps until the ball is at rest. The ball is at rest when the either the ball is palmed, two hands on the ball, or a hand under the ball.

I really don’t see how this is called a travel. This could only be a travel if a person is stationary and has control of the ball and then proceeds to take 2 steps. Simply because the pivot foot is lifted and replaced without a dribble, which happens like crazy in the NBA. 2 steps with out a dribble from a stationary position is travel. Step back is perfectly legal.

Hey coach ! I’m 16 yrs old and 83kgs. I really want to dunk but don’t know how to get in shape . Could you please help ?

[@KingSausage74]

Dude in the video never traveled at all and no one wants to see James Harden's traveling ass.

[@traitorousbipeds]

This is NOT a travel.. The step count starts WHEN the player gets control of the ball.. its actually stated as GATHERING the ball.. as long as he is dribbling he can take steps.. then the player gathers the ball.. from there he gets 2 steps.. so its all about when the player stops dribbling gatherers and then has control of the ball.. many times it looks like NBA players take 3 steps.. but that first step is actually referred to as the ZERO step.. while they gather and then get control of the ball.. as long as he is dribbling it makes no difference how many little steps he takes as long as the ball is in motion from the dribble.. if he could move his feet 50 times in the time of 2 bounces of the ball, its nit a travel.. once he grabs the ball and gets control, its 2 steps.. if he was taking a step as he was gathering that is the zero step and then 2.. this is why so many people think Lebron and better players travel.. and i hate lebron.. jordan is the goat.. for simply not being a douchebag like lebron is.. so id love to stay hes a traveling SOB.. he's not & it hurts.. id love to say he's a cheat using his fame to get the easy referee calls.. the forgiving interpretation of traveling but i can't. Bottom line.. NOT A TRAVEL.

It's also legal in FIBA since 2020

[@carsonharper9615]

When I was playing a 2v2 when I took one step the person that was blocking me said that’s a travel is that a travel?

[@IluhaDiego1985]

So what about a situation when player is rushing with the dribble. Hit the ball to the floor makes two steps before the ball comes back to his hands and makes two more steps. I think its a travel. Or...?

[@heenrytop3]

So i shoudnt use in Pick up game? Because i am sure, they arguing with me because of travel :/

[@h236981]

Harden, Lebron, it's not a travel. You, it's a travel.

[@En1gmatic1]

Bro everything your doing looks legal and like the traditional layup everyone's been doing since the 60s. your just taking really long strides . BUT Slow down any one of the "questionable" gianis/lebron plays they clearly take 3 large steps with the ball being held with both hands. But dummies Keep arguing that it's legal.

[@sleepyorca]

people be like "that's gather step, then 2 other step to lay up, ofc its clean, also the refs not called it, do you even know the rule?"

[@kylegill1989]

Basically the NBA created the rules and cheated by changing the rules. Because this is mad new. This rule is still a travel. Like yo what’s a travel anymore if you can hold the ball and take 3 steps.

[@CordellWallers]

The zero step has never made sense to me in my 38 years of living lmfao like a step is a fucking step…I know there’s a “rule” that’s says otherwise but it’s a step regardless

[@KieranCondon]

All leagues should adopt nba rules, c'maaan

[@itskxmi]

Hey what’s up

[@Sajehoops]

Well I’m doing this now in pickup games

[@noobsaibot5285]

How can you choose to do something with a basketball you have no control over? If it is in your hand, you have control of it. Their is a reason the gather steps began in the nba

NBA Edit Rule 10, Section XIII-Traveling[2] a. A player who receives the ball while standing still may pivot, using either foot as the pivot foot. b. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing must release the ball to start his dribble before his second step. The first step occurs when a foot, or both feet, touch the floor after gaining control of the ball. The second step occurs after the first step when the other foot touches the floor, or both feet touch the floor simultaneously. A player who comes to a stop on step one when both feet are on the floor or touch the floor simultaneously may pivot using either foot as his pivot. If he jumps with both feet he must release the ball before either foot touches the floor. A player who lands with one foot first may only pivot using that foot. A progressing player who jumps off one foot on the first step may land with both feet simultaneously for the second step. In this situation, the player may not pivot with either foot and if one or both feet leave the floor the ball must be released before either returns to the floor. c. In starting a dribble after (1) receiving the ball while standing still, or (2) coming to a legal stop, the ball must be out of the player’s hand before the pivot foot is raised off the floor. d. If a player, with the ball in his possession, raises his pivot foot off the floor, he must pass or shoot before his pivot foot returns to the floor. If he drops the ball while in the air, he may not be the first to touch the ball. e. A player who falls to the floor while holding the ball, or while coming to a stop, may not gain an advantage by sliding. f. A player who attempts a field goal may not be the first to touch the ball if it fails to touch the backboard, basket ring or another player. g. A player is not allowed to be the first to touch his own pass unless the ball touches his backboard, basket ring or another player. h. Upon ending his dribble or gaining control of the ball, a player may not touch the floor consecutively with the same foot (hop). Enforcement According to some observers, enforcement of the rule as written is not necessarily rigorous in the NBA, and traveling violations are often overlooked.[3][4][5]

Can you gather step after a catch?

[@garyrolen8764]

Bro. I just come here from FB after watching a guy bounce the ball once after the half court line and took 4 long steps and dunked the ball. NBA refs are not calling travel.

And this is why Furio called this "STUPIDA FACKING GAME"!!
