If someone goes up for a shot, ball slips out of hands, player takes multiple steps to go retrieve the ball in the air, it's not a travel?!?!?

Sure looks like a pass to oneself to me.
 
Porn?





Oh come on we all knew it would come to that.


No pun intended.

And you'd be wrong. You probably think fumbling a pass and taking multiple steps is traveling, too.

Not the same thing. If you fumble a pass, you didn't have control of the ball. If you are going up for a shot, you have control of the ball. It should be a travel. I think it is a travel, and Ronnie Nunn is wrong.
 
Archie is correct. Northeast, please think very carefully before starting another thread. Thank you.
 
If you lose control of it, it is a loose ball as Archie stated and is fair game to be batted around while the player runs all over the court like a ninny. If, on the other hand, the player actually shoots or attempts a pass and then takes a few steps to catch the ball himself without another player touching it (or the ball touching the floor or backboard, rim, or another object that would keep the ball in play) then it is a travel.

I am really glad we had this talk. I feel a lot better now about our relationship. Thank you. I just needed closure.
 
`I've only seen this happen once. Just one more example of NBA officiating being really stupid. You can't pass to yourself, which is what this rule is allowing. What if it's not a shot , you just pick up your dribble, "fumble" the ball away to get closer to the basket, and run and pick it up. Also not a travel?
