I assume he didn't get called for the travel before the missed shot?

You're allowed to take what's called a "pro hop" before a shot- helps you square up and all that. You can take up to 2 steps without dribbling before you have to stop, shoot, or pass. It looks kinda sketchy what he did, but in essence he moved both his feet only once after the dribble, which is effectively 2 steps. Here's a youtube on a pro hop if you're interested in it enough.

No one ever gets called for travelling. It's the NBA, after all. Dwyane Wade can take up to seven without being called for a travel.

Given Wade's knees those seven steps are seen as a miracle.

The most hilarious schadenfreude is watching old fat white people get apoplectic because the athletic black man dared to move his foot during a dribble. Traveling is a very specific rule with regards to 'gathering', steps, and ball movement, and players are much, much better at dribbling than they were in the 70s.

You, or someone, keeps saying this, but nobody ever cracks open the rule book and shows me the part where you're allowed to take seven steps while setting up a sweet rear end dunk and the ball never touches the ground.

It looks amazing, I don't even watch sports, so I really don't care ultimately, but it's weird to say expecting dribbling to be called, ever, is racist?

If you've got a side by side evolution of dribbling analysis youtube then please present your thesis that sounds interesting as heck.

I want to say that the engine shat its oilpan out and that caught fire or something, but the car doesn't ever actually move and none of the smoke comes out on the driver's side so I think I'm on the 'fake' bandwagon too.

It looks like a S14, I was thinking possibly the fuel filter coming off, I had an old S13 with a SR20DE in it and the fuel filter was in the engine bay on the passenger just behind the strut I think. The pressure when it let go would have dropped alot of fuel very quickly, then stopped once he (I'm hoping) cut the ignition, and poured out the passenger side.

When you get knocked out cold your arms stretch out a bit in front of you probably as a last ditched defense mechanism or your body trying to protect you as you may fall over.
It looks like a man fencing, or putting up a fence, or selling stolen goods.

Have you watched rugby? As an American, I hadn't seen it until the band I was stationed with went down to New Zealand for the World Cup. As far as spectating, that game beats the gently caress out of anything we watch regularly here. Those guys are loving beasts, and the officiants haven't heard of any sort of time-out ever. The game clock is 80 minutes, and the only planned stoppage is for halftime. I loving hate that (American) football games take upwards of 4 hours.

Rugby's pretty entertaining to be honest. It's got a lot of common characteristics with things that make me like watching basketball though I'm not too familiar with the rules. Lot of possessions for both teams, mostly continuous action (although basketball does have lots of stoppages it's never for very long save for injuries and it doesn't really interfere with the flow of the game), the potential for very high scoring matches but even a relatively low scoring, defense oriented game is interesting because the action is so constant.

More than 30 seconds between someone scoring points? How are we supposed to pay attention to that?

The rulebook actually says that whether or not you're dribbling the ball has nothing to do with how many steps you take between bounces. You just have to bounce the ball continuously, and not hold it or support it from the underside.

With regards to setting up a shot, you get your two steps after you stop dribbling (that is to say: after you actually grab or palm the ball) before it counts as travelling. The real reason you don't see people being called for travelling is because they're skilled athletes who have the training to be able to achieve as much as possible without breaking the rules.
