Giannis looks like he's traveling but he's not - and I can prove it by showing you Jordan and Dr. J doing the exact same moves! The key that most people miss is we don't count steps from the last dribble bounce. You can take as many steps as you want while dribbling. It's only after you GATHER the ball that the 2-step count begins.⁣ ⁣ What makes Giannis look illegal is his freakish length - he covers so much ground it tricks our eyes. But the footwork is identical to what MJ did in the 80s. Players today are just smarter about pushing the legal boundaries.⁣ ⁣ Once you understand the actual rules, you stop getting angry and start appreciating the creativity. That's when basketball gets exciting!
