These type of plays are far too frequent and extremely unserious from a sporting perspective. I am genuinely curious WHY they don’t call ones like this.

There were two egrigious carries as well just before the travel. But he does those things multiple times each game, especially the carries, so yeah, nothing new.
whynotconsiderit
If we ain’t calling that… then wtf we doing?

I’m surprise you’ve noticed this just now against your dead grizzlies team. Whenever I watch giannis against the mavs he gets away with at least 10 travels/offensive fouls total. He is what embiid is to foul baiting to not geting called for offensive fouls/violations
Moist_Walrus5413
He’s an elite running back

The run and dunk man
Maydietoday
Also the same carry that Poole got lambasted for yesterday
He already has all the physical gifts he needs to succeed, why do the refs let him cheat on top of that?
Dave_Autista
It’s not egregious considering it’s Giannis. In fact this is quite mundane for him
Dorko57
Right after two clear carries.
CravilityZ
And this is why comparing stats between eras is not wise
ScottPagan
haha exactly like poole last night

Another thing that really irks me is the “SPLITTING DEFENDERS ANTETEKOUNMPO!!!!!”
Like come on man, the viewers aren’t that stupid.
indreams159
my god man literally none of that was legal

People on here will call you a casual who doesn’t understand the “gather” step
elp44blue
He carried and traveled. They don’t call it anymore
Tillman_Fertitta
There’s no point in posting this because he travels on almost every drive. It’s so lame to watch. If you’re that big and strong and you can play football while everyone else is playing basketball, the game is gonna be easier to you.
Harman3112
He’s always gonna get away from these, I counted like 5 in game 5 against us alone last year
pahamack
c’mon even before the extra step he’s blatantly carrying.
​
The extra step I can almost forgive because the ref might not be in the correct sightline for it as he is in a crowd but the carries are so obvious. It’s the same thing Jordan Poole was called for.
KeepTryN4
Just casually carrying and traveling without luggage
sneakersourcerer
This is just a regular Thursday night for Giannis
NewOstenPelicanss
This is why the league is closer to WWE than a legit sports league
7cheeseburgers
He has done this so many times it’s normal now. Refs don’t see a travel even though it’s obviously 3 steps.
loveeachother_
He does this every night and doesn’t get called for it the same way he’s allowed to shoulder charge people and is rewarding with FTs instead of PFs.
He’s an insanely good player but when you’re farming freethrows and playing with a different set of rules to everyone else, it really takes away from the good.
Sweatytubesock
When you’re a star, they let you do it

And a carry to start it off. Giannis is the NBAs version of auto tune. Manufactured.
alexlu713
I think there’s a carry also. Isn’t that the same carry as Jordan Pool was called for yesterday?
Reasonable_Bed7858
They never call his travels lol
k1ngkoala
Poole got crucified for the exact same carry
Zestyclose-Draft-724
He could travel back to Greece and back and the refs would call it a “gather step”.
2nd_Inf_Sgt
Carried the ball, twice.
gradyjames
NBA in general allows traveling. I just roll with it now. They ALL do it – not just the superstars.
Ok_Respond7928
He does this every game. I know all his fans boys are going yell and say no he doesn’t but he does. Giannis travels/carries and fouls more than almost any player hit almost never gets called for it. Than you add him taking way to long at the FT line almost every trip. He gets away with so much.
imaginaryResources
Dude travelled and carried all on one play. When he’s not doing that he’s swinging elbows. No shit it’s unguardable this shit wouldn’t fly on a street court lol can’t believe it’s normalized in the largest basketball league in the world
CarBallAlex
What do you mean? This is just a gather step, then 1, 2, back to 1
Dame2Miami
Being European gives you +2 euro steps.
Obviously you don’t know ball.
But seriously it feels like he does this every time…
DEEZLE13
Give the man a break, he only has 3 moves and this is 2 of them
boobsmcgee93
Travel wasn’t toooo bad. That carry though…
XXeadgbeXX
He does this literally every game and it’s never called.
Ronaldoooope
lol “he was gathering”
DoomdUser
Crosses half court:
– Carry – Carry – 3 steps – jump stop – dunk
If the refs actually made Giannis play basketball like everyone else, between carries, travels and charges, his eye-popping stats would look a lot different
kursdragon2
Also the most egregious carry I’ve seen in a while lmao, actually mighta been 2 carries back to back. Insane that this shit is just allowed to happen in front of everyone’s eyes.
PuritanBaptist
Thanasis would never smh…
DrBigChicken
Every Giannis drive ever
DonovanMcTigerWoods
He does this all the time.
DigOlBick99
This goon has been doing this for years but you all fellate him😆

Giannis is the travel king, he does that shit multiple times a game and gets away with it

Giannis carried twice before getting to the three point line, one of them the [exact same carry](https://streamable.com/zoxpvt) that [Jordan Poole got mocked for](https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1ar67tt/highlight_poole_blatantly_carries_the_ball_in_the/). Then on top he took 3 steps after his gather.
He already has all the physical gifts he needs to succeed, why do the refs let him cheat on top of that?
