All I can say is he is right. We all saw Lebron James walk 4 steps in his game winning shot against the Wizards and then carry in the other game winning shot. The carry can go either way but that 4 step walk was ridiculous. The refs should be able to call the most basic travelling calls. This may be a reason why we suffer in international play also because the refs in international play dont give the superstars a foul or no call depending on the situation. This is especially true on blocking/charging calls where the superstar gets the call. Another thing I dont get is why Lebron gets calls before he has even proved himself.

The rams cannot stop the run on defense. Until they improve their defense they are not going to the playoffs. They lost to the niners twice. In the game in St. Louis all the Rams had to do was stop the niners pathetic running game and they could not even do that. I agree their offense is good, but if they cant stop the run the offense will never get the ball.

Only the BEST should be in the playoffs.
It was four steps, saw the replay many times. The little hop you are talking about is a jump stop. He took a step and the jump stop and then two steps after that. When a player makes a jump stop he is not supposed to take another step. I am from Northern California and a Warriors fan, so I am not a Wizards fan in any way. Lebron seems like he may be the future face of the NBA, but he should earn his superstar status. I am sure he will earn it but it is not fair to the Wizards fan to let him walk to score a game winning basket. And Yes I know my team sucks.
