NBA to alter traveling rules

I heard a news the day before yesterday. It is a NBA news. The news is about "NBA alter traveling rules". The new rule reads, in part: "A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball."(1) That means NBA players can take two steps before they have to stop, pass or shoot the ball. But throughout the NBA history, the rulebook said players could take only one step. This is wrong to alter the traveling rules.

This kind of alter rules is never happened in any league or in basketball world before. This is the first time that any league at any level in anywhere in the world that allowed players to take two steps(2). I think this is not right, though in the NBA history, a lot of superstars getting away with two steps, like Magic Johnson, Bob Cousy or Julius Erving. And in NBA today, there are a lot of superstars have the privilege. But the rules were not changed. This time, NBA altered the rule, it seems they did nothing, because NBA Superstars had privilege already. But the point is that NBA make the traveling legalize. Before, there are a lot of NBA reviewers discuss about the traveling the stars made and the NBA referees and high-level leaders say nothing about it. Now, the new rule make the traveling legalized. What can you say now? Nothing. This can make reviewers and fans to shut up. And to alter traveling rules seems it is for to aid scorers and make the league more exciting(3). "They go 20 feet to the hoop without dribbling one time," Legendary point guard Walt Frazier said. "Wilt [Chamberlain] would have averaged 100 points a game if they had let him do that."(4)

I also think this change is made for some of the stars. It is for to make stars, because NBA needs the next "Michael Jordan". As my personal opinion, Kobe is a little old, he is 31 years old. Although he is the no. 1 in the world now, NBA won't do too much things for him. So, let's bring up the next no. 1, which is Lebron James. I know that a lot of Lebron's fans will scold me. But I have to say, a lot of LeBron's layups and dunks are all traveling, which named and invented by himself, "the crab steps". This "crab steps", in most of the reviewers' eyes, is traveling. So NBA make it legalized, then people can't say anything.

To aid scorers, to make superstars, to make next Michael, all these things are not important. the most important thing, the thing that I care the most is that after the superstars fell custom with the traveling rules of NBA, how can the NBA Superstars solve the FIBA(5)'s rules.
