Poor Ausar.

That is a travel what the fuck is my guy on

This is what's wrong with NBA fans. You're mistaking what a gather step is. A gather step is an extra step you take after a dribble CONSIDERING the ball isn't in contact with your hand yet rather it is on it's way to your hand from a dribble. It's not an extra step after a dribble because that contradicts the rule of travelling only restricts movement with 2 steps before the ball leaves your hand either for a dribble, a pass or a shot. Once the ball reaches your hand after a dribble or a pass, the next occurring steps count

​@@servant691 I think you're describing one specific scenario of the ball coming to your hand as you're in the process of dribbling. Another scenario is a player stretching the rule as far as he can without being called for a carry. So in some cases, the ball in contact with one hand at the top of a dribble (not gathered with both hands yet) and the player beginning a new step, officially ending his dribble, and now being allowed 2 legal steps. Players like Manu, Harden, etc. or the euro-step in general seems pretty common with stretching the rule out like this. Where they look like they're taking an extra illegal step, but they just are being crafty in what's allowed. When you slow this Rudy play down or pause it, his right foot is planted at almost the exact moment he gathers the ball with both hands, ending his dribble, and then he goes left, right. That step he's in when he collects the ball doesn't count toward his 2. Him slowing down didn't help either ha. This would be called a travel in high school & I think college too, not NBA tho.

@@JaDversary Ummm no. Even in normal speed. The ball was already in contact with his hand long before his right foot was planted. His left foot actually was the gather step which is the foot planted the same time the ball came into contact with him. You are confusing gather for using two hands to hold the ball. You don't need 2 hands to initiate a gather step. It doesn't matter if you're in the process of a dribbling or not. As soon as the ball touches even one of your hands, (even your fingers if a referee sees it), the most frequent feet planted as of that moment will be a gather step and all steps will count from then on. Using Harden pretty much confirms this though. Harden might be the NBA player with the most uncalled travels. I watched 2 compilations of Euro-steps. None of them are like this. It's gather + 2 steps. Gather being what Rudy's first left foot landing was.

it isn't sporty.
