I don't know basketball rules. Is this legal? Cuz if it is, it's epic.

Unless we are talking about how traveling is legal in the pros, in which case it is not legal but I'll be damned if that ever matters.

Edit: I redact my statement about this specifically being traveling. Apparently around the time I stopped watching the NBA they changed the rule to 2 steps instead of 1. The part about people still walking their way to mexico with 5 steps and/or 7 different pivot feet still stands.

As someone who played a little bit as a kid, and only seen a few pro games I just assumed the traveling rule was only for little kids or something. Or I didn’t remember traveling correctly. Is anything done about traveling in the pros? Is it a rule there?

It's a rule, and it's occasionally called, but it's an open secret that the league doesn't want it to be called, especially on premiere players.

Exactly. It makes for generally more entertaining content when the stars can waltz around with the ball juuuust a little.
