VIDEO: Kendrick Perkins is one well-traveled man

You'd be forgiven for not understanding all the nuances, ambiguities, and complexities of the NBA rulebook. 

One rule that seems pretty easy to grasp, though, is traveling: If a player lifts or drags his pivot foot without dribbling the basketball, it's a travel; if a player takes more than two steps after gathering the ball, it's a travel. 

But both those criteria apparently evaporate when the player in question is Cleveland Cavaliers center Kendrick Perkins, who has racked up enough NBA miles to travel wherever and whenever he wants. 

Here's Perkins taking nine (!) steps with nary a dribble last Thursday against the Miami Heat.
