The NBA is entering a phase of intense controversy regarding the interpretation of rules concerning illegal walking, a subject that dominates discussions in the European basketball community. The most recent and viral episode involved Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, who was called for a severe illegal walk on a starting dribble during the game against the Phoenix Suns (ending 116-113). This incident is reported as rare, given the NBA referees' general tolerance for such actions this season. [1]
Curry was not the only player involved in such incidents recently. The league witnessed a “festival” of Halloween-type moves, described as absurd by observers but promoted nonetheless by American media as highlight moments. Other notable cases include actions by Caleb Wilson, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokounmpo (who covered half the court without dribbling), and LaMelo Ball (who took 4 to 6 steps before scoring a three-pointer).
