    video is called "NBA league exec explains how traveling will be called in 2019-20"

    ESPN still thinks "Harden and travel equals more views"?

    I haven't watched it, did talk show hosts bash Harden again?

    Was listening to a show today and even Ray Allen was calling his moves a blatant travel and he couldn't see how they allow it. :(

    Why does CF continue to post any ESPN-related content? Screw em (and their biases). They did it because they know it will bait clicks. They're an entertainment company, not a true journalistic one.

    Yup Watched the jump and they talked about the new travel language. They brought in an nba exec to talk about it but they never clarified that Harden’s moves aren’t a travel. And they kept showing up clips from last games like Harden’s euro step on Harrell.

    CF loves giving ESPN ratings. I'm just waiting for the lame Kellerman threads to start popping up soon.

    If the refs call traveling its a travel if they don't its not. Don't get your panties in a bunch over a bunch of nerds and retired players discussing how the game should be officiated.

    And Rachel Nichols, who has devolved into a glorified cheerleader at this point, continues to name Harden whenever the topic comes up, only furthering the narrative.

    omg, the amount of ignorance is nauseating

    How clueless can people be?!? I just don’t know what can stem the tide of stupidity at this point. I’ve gone from calmly trying to reason with people like this to just calling them out for the idiots that they are.

    We know Russillo's Rockets hate. But I was sad to see SVP take such a lame take. I expected him to rise above the #NBAtwitter crowd....but sadly he doesn't.

    Basically at this point when I see this stuff I push back and ask them if there is an NBA conspiracy to *allow Harden to get away with it.* Of course that is ludicrous but sometimes raising a ludicrous point helps frame the entire ludicrous argument.

    Espn is definitely not a harden apologist! The Seth curry wedding got more postive publicity. Dallas Mavericks are getting alot of support.
