An NBA player on the offensive team can stand in the paint for a maximum of three seconds, otherwise the ball is turned over to the opposing team. An NBA player on the defensive team also cannot stay in the paint for more than three seconds, unless he's guarding his opponent.
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.
in the NBA- 3 in Australia- 2
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.
the answer is 2, but alot of refferrees will overlook 3 step
All you have to take out the words:FOR,360. Then push go
