Lots of people think it is 2 because that's how Basketball is played. In the NBA they can make up their own rules. One of them happens to be that you can take up to 3 steps.

You cant take three or more steps without dribbling the ball or else it is ruled as a traveling violation and will result in a turnover in the NBA.
A traveling violation happens when you take more than two steps without dribbling the basketball. You are only allowed to take two steps without dribbling or else you have to shoot or pass.
This steps is a travel at most levels of basketball, with an exception of extremely young leagues. The maximum amount of steps a player can take without traveling is 2 steps. Even though traveling is probably the most commonly ignored penalty in professional basketball, so it would not surprise me if someone thought something like that.
in the NBA- 3 in Australia- 2
Two steps without dribbling. Except for going for a lay-up. On lay-ups you can take two steps plus a jump. Also, you must pivot and turning using feet for more than 2 steps is called travelling.
If a ball-handler takes three or more steps without a dribble, this is called a Traveling Violation and results in the other team receiving possession of the ball. Traveling is one of the most common calls in the game of basketball, but is the main source of criticism for NBA officials. This is because many people say that there is no such thing as traveling in the NBA since it is never called, even in the most obvious of times.
No
the player took 3 steps without dribbling so the ref called a travel
the answer is 2, but alot of refferrees will overlook 3 step
Because, the refs will call traveling on you.( that's not dribbling the ball or taking more than 3 steps. ;)
