[Highlight] Kawhi Leonard opens his bag and bamboozles Jeremy Sochan with crisp dribbling, a pump, and a step through. (streamable.com)

Can someone non-snarkily explain why this isn't a travel?

At some point in 2010's NBA decided you could dribble the ball, stop with both feet, wait for a second, and then make a step forward all while lifting your back foot and still not called for travel.

Growing up in the 90s, if I stopped with both feet and just slightly shifted one of my feet, I'd get whistled for travel. It was either shoot or pass. So yeah, watching him ballet and be praised for doing it is infuriating.
