We think y'all are going to like our new guard DeAndre Harris. Picked up his dribble at the 3-point line. #GMG pic.twitter.com/OUjyKEEIsi

Travelling?

Benford just getting players ready for the NBA...

Not likely, I make my MS kids get to the rim (lay up) in one dribble from the 3 pt line

[Andrew]

You get two and a half steps after the dribble so it's pretty common.... When you try out for the NBA this is what they make you do. You also have to take 50 free throws from each side 4 feet (roughly) from the goal. It's good practice.

[GMG24]

You get 2 steps...... At any level of play then it's a travel. Good try

Two and a half.. Perhaps someone might need to define half for you but two and a half. Regardless of what a rule book might say a nba ref is giving (and told to give) two and a half steps.

I don't give a rats..... The rule book says 2 you sir are a jack....

Both you and Andrew are wrong.

2 steps in college ball, no matter who you are.

NBA:

3 steps for anyone that isn't Shawn Bradley coordinated

4 steps for superstars.

Which is why I HATE the NBA.

I'm talking about letter of the law. The rule book is two steps period.

I think that Andrew's point is valid. They are (supposed to be) looking for the third step to hit the floor before calling a travel, so two and a half would be accurate to that end.

If the third step hasn't hit the floor then it's only two steps. Not two and a half.

Yep. No such thing as a half step in basketball.

[Andrew]

It's on the pick up of the dribble. And obviously only called in the NBA where it's more player friendly. College ball follows the rule book to a T.

Yeah, but that was what I thought he was going for. Just trying to help the guy out.

It's considered a half step to coaches. I only know this from people who have had try outs with d leauge and NBA teams (not from personal experience).
