LeTravel James

In my last post (the Wizards @ Sonics running commentary), I posted a couple of YouTube videos featuring LeTravel James doing what he does best -- traveling. One of the videos chronicles a walk he took in Game 3 of the 2005-06 first-round playoff series against the Wizards. The basket he made after his travel proved to be the game winner. The game's announcers didn't realize he walked, but I clearly remember saying outloud: "Travel!" (Also, LeTravel walked again on a game winner in Game 4. It went uncalled, of course.)

Anyway, little did I know that the NBA produced a commercial that described what a "travel" is. And guess what example they used to demonstrate the act of traveling? That's right. LeTravel's walk from Game 3 of the 2005-06 first-round playoff series against the Wizards. Below is the commercial. It's nice that the NBA recognized LeTravel's travel even though the three refs who officiated the game missed it.



Seriously, this guy takes more steps than the cast of S.T.O.M.P.
