ughh dude you do realize the first step is counted after you pick up the dribble right???since he was dribbling the ball so high, you could argue that he diddnt actually travel, but i agree it looked borderline.

Yes, I do realize that. The point of the video is to show that there was no foul on Noah. And yeah, it is borderline, but personally that's a travel in my opinion.

@gregorsky99 No it's not. Even if he is positioned inside the Restricted Area, a secondary defender does not commit a blocking foul if contact is made while he is jumping vertically in an attempt to defend the shot (but he would commit a blocking foul if he were trying to draw an offensive foul instead of trying to defend the shot or did not jump vertically (NBA.COM)

@CastorFrost No. That's not the rule. nba.com/video/channels/origina­ls/2012/01/24/bballops_11_403.­nba/

@iamerection39 He took 3 after picking up his dribble tho

ON POINT. GOOD VIDEO.

@mopedsmoproblems well no if your feet leave the ground and you are bumped that would be a foul on you

As much as I dislike lebron, but this time it isn't a travel. His first right foot landed BEFORE he ended his dribble by holding the ball with two hands, and then left right and up. No travel.

As with Noah, he did not establish legal position (facing him and both feet on the ground), and he was inside the no-charge zone, so it was a foul by Noah.

that's not a travel. the first step you counted was the one included in picking up his dribble. the two after that are what count. not a travel. and it if is, then everyone that plays basketball does that every time they play. every. time.

Not really disagreeing with anything here, but pretty much every player in the league does this stuff, kinda typical the haters are always bringing out lebron to make an example
