It's like the Supreme Court justice said way back in the day "I don't know how to define hard core pornography, but I know it when I see it" Just substitute "traveling" in place of "hard core pornography."

Here’s the play in slow motion. The ball ceases “live dribble” and is at a “rest” once his hand is under the ball.
A live dribble means at any moment you can put the ball back on the ground legally. You can’t legally put the back down once your hand is under. That’s called CARRYING/PALMING if you dribble again therefore all your steps count!
If you really wanna get technical, you can say Melo took 5 steps but let’s be charitable and view it as a real time play. He took at least 4 steps here.
Insanely frustrating for ALL 3 NBA broadcasters for an ESPN game to not know the rules.
As long as the ball isn't gathered (the ball hasn't come to rest while controlling it) there's no limit on the number of steps between dribbles/before the gather.
"Looking sketchy" ≠ travel
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The official NBA refs account said this was not a legal move

Arab invaders attacked a convent of nuns and captured a beautiful virgin, whom they offered as a gift to the commander of their troop.
When the commander saw her, he was dazzled by her beauty and sought to corrupt her. She then said to him:
"Wait a moment, for I have learned a skill passed down among virgins, and it can only be performed by a virgin — otherwise, it is of no use."
He asked her: "And what is this skill?"
She replied:
"It is an oil: if someone is anointed with it, no sword or weapon can harm them. You, who go often to war, would greatly benefit from it."
= He said to her: "And how can I be sure of that?"
So she took some oil and said to him:
"Anoint your neck with it and give me your sword so that I may strike you."
= He replied: "No! You shall anoint your own neck first, and I will strike with the sword."
She agreed gladly, anointed her neck with the oil, and said:
"Strike with all your strength!"
He drew his sword, which was very sharp, and she bent her neck. He struck with all his might, and her head rolled to the ground.
Thus, she chose to die by the sword rather than to defile her virginity.
The commander was deeply grieved and wept bitterly for having killed such a beautiful soul. He then realized that she had deliberately deceived him in order to escape defilement and sin…
This is Saint Febronia of Syria.

OK, this one is going to get me in heap big trouble.
It's just my opinion, based solely on anecdotes, and I could be wrong.
Here it is.
After watching many videos of poor Appalachian folks talking about Helene wiping out their homes, and watching many videos of uber-rich Democrats talking about the LA fires wiping out their homes, I sense a different tenor:
Helene Victim: "Well, we lost everything and had to live in the open with no food or water for five days, but the kids and the dogs are OK and the neighbors built us this new road, so we'll be alright, praise God."
LA Fire Victim: (weeping): "It's all gone! My whole life! It's gone.... all the memories... how could this happen to ME???? How could this happen to MEEEEEEE?????"

Bill Maher: “This is what I fucking hate about the left. Cut your family off for Thanksgiving if they voted for the wrong guy. Fuck off, you fucks."

This isn’t complicated.
Separate the bills and vote on them individually.
one vote on the clean CR
one vote on the debt limit
one vote on disaster relief
one vote on farm bailouts
Radical right? Individual bills for each issue.

Y'all on this app crashing out and disowning family over a damn election while both sides sip champagne together and cut deals while laughing at your asses.

Do liberals just hate Trump because he’s tacky? Bc I know they don’t care about anyone’s policies when under Biden homelessness went up 12%, deportations went up 250%, military spending went up 14%, and billionaires wealth went up 88% but they all still loved Kamala.

The libs won’t eat healthy because RFK, Jr. promotes it, and they won’t eat fast food because Trump likes it.
MAGA is starving them out. Genius.
Everything we see in media is to stir dissension, make us stressed, and boost ratings. People spout "sky is falling" bullshit nonstop and wonder why people think they are batshit crazy. Everything is a crisis to them. Breathe, read a book, meditate, go for a hike. Relax.
