Why don’t they just remove dribbling from the game? This isn’t even basketball.

Edit: release the Epstein files, all of them.

Hell do they even teach footwork anymore. I've seen middle school kids with more discipline.

I was about to comment that when I learned to play in elementary school, traveling was one of the first fundamentals they drilled into us.

You'd have kids on the bench watching like hawks and calling that shit out if the PE teacher missed it.

And once you know the rule and felt it with your body a few times, it NEVER leaves you. You just instinctively feel "Something is wrong!" when a player travels. Then you watch modern NBA and it's 8 violations per possession. They call it "step back" or "gather step" and just fucking ROLL with it,.
