A viral video hit social media showing Marcus Sasser making an impressive Euro-step and finish. The problem is, Sasser may have traveled.
Sasser currently plays for the Detroit Pistons but the clip of his Euro-step occurred when he was at the University of Houston.

Fans were quickly split over whether it was clean or a travel.
Clean imho

There is no such thing as a travel anymore….. or double dribble or carrying the ball.

No clean euro

No travel, it was a clear lay up.

Even five-time NBA champion Ron Harper weighed in on the clip.
Today rules are just bad!!!

One fan asked the AI assistant for X, Grok, if it was a travel and Grok said no.
No, it's not a travel. This is a legal euro step: the player gathers the ball, takes two steps to evade the defender, and lays it up, which is allowed under standard basketball rules. Impressive hang time!

Do you believe it is a travel? Or do you agree with Grok that it is a clean bucket?
