          Now most of us have thought of this as a travel for our entire lives, but according to that ref video from a few weeks back, in the NBA this is not a travel. After his last dribble the first step back with his left foot is the gather step, which is the free step allowed before you can take two more.

          Now I would like the rules to be changed back to make the gather step the first of the two allowable steps, but Harden is one of the few players who actually takes advantage of what the rule say you can do.

            In this instance he clearly starts picking the ball up when he pushes off with his left foot. Which means that big push off with his left should be his gather step.


            From there he then steps with his right foot:


            Back with his left foot:


            Lands on his right foot:


            And then steps back with his left:


            In this instance he definitely snuck in a 4-5 step shuffle. Usually I feel like he leaves the ball in limbo long enough to blur the lines of which step is his gather and when he picks the ball up. Making it very difficult to call. But in this instance that giant push off with his left is clearly the step he uses to gather the ball.

              That right foot coming down a second time should make it a walk, but it seems like because he shoots right when it lands the ref standing right there lets him get away with it. All the refs let that fourth step go for some reason when he does that move.

                I can't with this man. If it's not the incessant flopping on drives, a rip through or this step back stuff, they it him play pro ball entirely on cheese

                    But yeah, I had the same reaction as OJ when I watched this live. This type of stuff needs to be addressed. I mean this is basic Basketball 101 right here.

                      Maybe him basically admitting that it was a walk will embarrass the refs and the league into doing something about it, but I doubt it.

                        I don’t care what the rulebook says that is clearly a travel. Anybody willing to argue otherwise is killing the game of basketball.

                          I honestly cant think of another superstar that I've just straight up hated to watch play...lol

                          It's sad man, because Hardens handle, shot making and quick step are all things if beauty...all the other stuff just kills it for me though.

                            Harden’s game bores the life out of me and so does the discussion about how he bends the rules to get his points. I’m glad his game goes to complete **** in the postseason because I never wanna see that dude with a ring, ever.

                              That seems really extreme. I'll be over here in a corner still enjoying watching him play.

                              Yes, that's a travel but I don't really have the energy yall do about it. His last 3 games have been insane.
