They just quit calling traveling some years ago in the NBA. I don’t watch it but have seen example after example displayed on various shows.

You wonder how many more points old stars might have scored if dribbling was optional back then.

Somewhere along the line some NBA big wig must have ordered refs to not ruin highlight dunks just because the player ran with the ball.

I played some Women’s Basketball along the way we always had to dribble.
