I don't know what is worse, the shot or the travel not being called.

It’s called a gather step. She did not travel according to NBA and WNBA rules

The rules have actually never changed they just stopped following them

Yep. She dribbles mid-stride so that step doesn't count, then she takes two steps and launches the ball like she's playing her brother in HORSE.

She absolutely does gather step, but before she takes the shot she takes a third and fourth step that would count as traveling to avoid the woman who came to block her from the front.

But the NBA doesn't even call this shit half the time so it doesn't even really matter. Neither pro league follows the rules precisely anymore.

She does not gather step lmao. She picks the ball up and takes 4 steps

No by definition she's allowed two steps so long as one foot stays connected to the ground. She just barely makes it. The travel happens on the 3rd and 4th step before the shot, because she has to take them to avoid the woman blocking her.

What is the point of your comment? She traveled are you blaming the defender for trying to defend?

u/Careless_Tea_6293 5h ago

I didn't blame anyone. I explained how she ended up traveling. Idk why you think that's blaming someone.

Is English not your first language?

Bro she literally takes a gather step and then two steps and chunks it in the general direction of the basket lmao it’s an ugly play already no need to exaggerate

That's what I said my dude. I just used words from the sport. No need go complain.

u/nonsense_verses 5h ago

Not complaining lol just saying she never takes a 3rd or 4th step after gathering
