Basketball has many different rules. One is called a travel, a travel violation is when you take more than two steps when the ball is in your possession. Another rule is called a double dribble. A double dribble is just like it sounds, when you continue dribbling the ball after you previously stopped. These two rules are the most common rules followed by an NBA player to ensure they're playing properly.
A third rule is called a carrying violation. This is when your hand is under the ball and it goes over your shoulder. Additionally, you cannot be in the key of the court for more than three seconds, if a player is in the key for longer than that amount of time then they turnover the ball. This rule is meant for centers because they are always in the key looking to score. Next time you're watching basketball, try to catch the referee making these calls!
