Really?
OK, I'm home at lunch today, turn on the TV, and having left it on ESPN last night 1st an 10 is on. I've never watched that show before because there are about a million other things I'd rather do than listen to Skip Bayless and Jemele Hill talk about anything, but they were discussing whether or not LeBron traveled in the final play of their loss to Washington yesterday. And it wasn't just 1st and 10, this is apparently a topic of conversation today. I have no idea why. It's obvious he traveled. Only LeBron's teammates and the blindest of Cavs fans seem to be saying that "when LeBron takes three steps it's not traveling, it's awesome." Yet because it was called against 'King James' it's a 'hot topic'.
It's a sad statement, but not a surprising one, on the state of NBA officiating when obvious correct calls are still debated just because whom they were called on.

I could not agree more!
I saw this game yesterday (it’s like the Wizards were doing everything they can to lose this one) and the travel was evident as it was happening live. During the replay, it looked questionable from one angle and a good call from another. What, just because The Chosen One didn’t get away with it this one time, it’s a hotly contested conversation fodder?
Should this kind of thing happen to Dirk, it probably won’t even register on the ESPN ticker.

I was still editing until just a minute ago. Hopefully it was readable when you saw it.

It was
It was weird, because it said Moneyball had one new story under the My Blogs section, but when I clicked on it the latest post was the Monday stuff. I didn’t see this one until some time later. So I guess it knew you were writing a new post, even though it wasn’t yet posted?

He called it a "Crab Dribble". Wizards fans, coach and players call it "travelling". His explanation is crap drivel

Crab dribble
great move, it’s an exception to the travel rule. Don’t know why more players use it.
