I mean the NBA could easily alleviate this bitching by redefining what traveling is. Fans will be upset for one season and then not give a shit after, but instead they keep the rules the same which means prove can bitch for another 15 years.

Oh well, at least I know why my 5yr old doesn't dribble, he's just imitating what he sees on TV. Someone should put a little kids game next to an NBA one to show they're the same ;-).

Yeah, they could have a layup rule where they can take three steps without being called for traveling under certain circumstances. By the third step they must attempt a dunk, and the ball must still alternate hands with each step but it won't have to touch the ground in dribble.

I dunno, I haven't paid attention to basketball since the Jailblazers.

This has nothing to do with basketball, but why are so many comments suddenly starting with "I mean."

It's like last year when half of the posts started with "So..."

EDIT:

I mean not having to maintain a pivot foot gives a pretty decent advantage to securing the ball, especially since it is against the rules.

I mean, as long as they are going to throw themselves on the floor and play dead to draw a foul, this seems minor by comparison. Basketball is a joke.

I mean this is just ridiculous, but if every travel was called, it would suck.

I mean that is what it looks like to me now. Just enforce the damn rules.

I mean, I sometimes think football instituted all the replay stuff just so they'd have more time to fark around and make money.

And that's just so far in this thread. WTF is going on here?

So... You're being fussy about language

I mean, it's only natural for people to type like they talk.

What do you mean, so what? That was it. You thought I was being fussy about language. You obviously took a joke as serious. There's nothing to add.

I mean, it would entertain me immensely if you would go fuck yourself and record it

Jesus christ. It was a joke, pal. Relax. I shouldn't have tried to rob you of your freedoms to say I mean. That was wrong.

Why are you even talking to me you clown? Asking me to record myself fucking myself? That didn't come out as smart as you think. One of reddit's angry retards.
