You get two steps after you have fully picked up your dribble. If you watch this in slow motion it looks like a long gather time resulting in a travel, but it has been the rule for as long as I've been alive, they only recently changed the rule's wording to clarify it.

According to wikipedia it is not possible to travel while dribbling but that is misleading. You get the same steps between dribbles as you would if you were legally running with the ball. Otherwise you are in violation of traveling rule one. User Info: papaya papaya Topic Creator 8 years ago 15 so it is possible player to actually take many steps without re-bouncing the ball on the floor to the basket if that player has really fast legs as long as he don't get called for palming?
I defy you to show me any video of someone taking 4 steps after picking up their dribble without being called of course. It doesn't happen. Either that or you are counting wrong. You do realize that the step you take as you're picking up your dribble doesn't count, right?

The second occurs: 1 After the count of one when either foot touches the floor, or both feet touch the floor simultaneously. I got this:. Jumping up and down with the ball is a travel, so it obviously depends on the type of violation. So what do the rules say I will go over them using the NBA Rule Book as a reference, most of these rules are universal.
A player who receives the ball while standing still may pivot, using either foot as the pivot foot. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball. This is pretty clear you are given 2 steps to come to a complete stop, pass or shoot. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing must release the ball to start his dribble before his second step.
Even when the ball is in full control a lot of players do not put the ball down by the second step more like they have already taken their second step and now dribbled not released the ball.
This is why in basketball footwork is so important, there are many ways to travel, as you can see in most cases the if you lift up the pivot foot before releasing the ball this will be a travel violation. If he drops the ball while in the air, he may not be the first to touch the ball.
