For years the joke among NBA fans is that refs never call LeBron James out for traveling all the time and it really does seem like it’s true.
During tonight’s Jazz-Lakers game, LeBron took a nice brisk walk with the ball and the ref at courtside completely missed it.

Fans were obviously pissed at the refs for not blowing this whistle on this blatant travel.
LeBron doesn’t travel, the ball forgot to bounce. https://t.co/eZVF0YgrYM

Just for once, just once, I want to see @NBAOfficial call Lebron for a travel when he does this just to see what his reaction is. https://t.co/BTpueJpSEG

The best part is if they had somehow called this a carry or a travel or a double dribble on LeBron, he would've been legitimately flabbergasted at the call. https://t.co/KXxDd3D2CN

@OfficialNBARefs any explanation of the lebron travel tonight ? Am I missing a rule or will you just ignore it like it didn’t happen.
