You can pick up a dribble, step back, and make a hop step, and it's not a travel.
To me this should be a travel, but okay, if they want to allow this, fine.
However, what is a hop step?
Most hop steps really don't have both feet hit the ground and leave the ground at exactly the same time. Is this not a travel then?
Durant won a game on a last second shot last week on a step back and two more steps. It was clearly 3 steps, not a hop step, but it was done quickly and looked kind of like a hop step, so because it was Durant , the basket was allowed. This is another example of the type of call that the refs will give some players and not others.
