Minute 1:26. How does he get away with 4 full steps right in front of the ref? There isn't a single player between him and the stripes. Yet Devin Harris makes a nice move that is generally legal and gets a travel called... Jeremy Evens gets a monster dunk taken away and doesn't even make the highlight clip, but this travel trash does?

I watched it and didn't see what you meant about the 1:26 mark.
I believe you though.
Didn't they change the rules a bit about traveling?
I thought they were supposed to crack down on it more this year?

I take it you meant the little hop by #24? I think they might have thought he did not have control of the ball when he started his hop, it looked like it might be that way to me.

Wrong video.

The video that frankiln actually means has Bosh catch a pass on the baseline and dunk. Problem is, Bosh doesn't fully gather the ball until the final two steps, so the play is perfectly legal.

My bad. When I clicked on the top ten video the url didn't redirect. This should bring up the vid for a few hours at least:

That's a travel.
If that was a Jazz player, they would have been called for a Flagrant.

I stopped being upset about no travel calls on dunks in NBA. They just do not want to take highlight play away. Even Kanter traveled yesterday on the dunk he got...check it out on 11:18 in second quarter - shuffled his feet like 4 times without bouncing the ball while gathering for the dunk.
