Hawks on NBA's new rule: Paving way for two steps
For as long as Hawks coach Mike Woodson can remember, basketball players, coaches and officials have ignored the rule book where "walking" is concerned.
"It benefits me," said Johnson, one of three players (Mike Bibby and Jamal Crawford are the others) on the Hawks' roster who have averaged 20 or more points in a season. "It definitely changes the game because it gives every guy that extra step. I used to have some moves in my game in college that I stopped using when I got into the league because of the way they called you traveling. I just had to adjust. So it's definitely going to help that they're emphasizing this change."
There are some who see this change as a direct response to the "crab dribble" controversy that erupted last season when Cleveland superstar LeBron James was called for traveling late in a game when making a jump-stop move that he had used since high school. "It is kind of funny that this rule comes up the summer that whole deal," Hawks forward Josh Smith said. "I'm not saying they did this for LeBron, but I could see where people would connect those dots."

--------------
This new rule is going to affect the game tremendously, especially for most players. But I can't help but think about this move as a way of benefiting the Lebrons, Kobes, etc. of the league, especially Lebron himself.
It's a blurry theory, but the NBA could be working on this move because of receding revenue and by doing this move, they freedom to those who use the "crab dribble". Of course, more highlights, more interested audience and steady-increasing revenue.

Joe told the press about having this effective "step" he used in college and he stopped using when he started playing in the NBA. I wonder what's going to happen when he uses that technique once again. Maybe he can average 30 per game na. Haha! Originally Posted by vcmov_15

I'm pretty much pessimistic here but throughout the first six games, I give them 2-4 win-loss.

Easy 3 game losing streak there. No sweat, especially after the Wizards dropped the Mavericks anew at Dallas. Originally Posted by Motownkid
