    Default When will Griffin ever be called for a travel whenever he does these pass-fake dunks?

    His first initial step always comes so quickly after the dribble, and then takes two steps afterward for the dunk that the refs never catch it.

    Nice fakes, nonetheless.

    It's disgusting. CP3 traveled multiple times too. I really wish the NBA would start calling that shit.

    Exactly.

    You're allowed 2 steps plus the other step and sometimes you can just do 5 steps. It's all good.

    You guys need to do a better job in observing which foot a player gathers the ball. In all those videos Griffin took the allowed two steps after gathering the ball.

    For example in the third vid Griffin gathered the ball on his left foot, 21 sec mark, and then took two steps.

    Gather step is usually the opposite foot of the hand your dribbling in. Thats why you see James Harden and Dwyane Wade not pick up their last dribble before Euro step because they're trying to decide which hand to use.


    Notice Wade pushes the ball forward to decide which hand to use to pick the ball up. He picks it up with right hand which makes left foot gather step.

    This one actually looks like a travel. He gathered the ball on his right foot and then took three steps.
