Crab Dribble 

A complex maneuver in the NBA where the player takes more than two steps after dribbling the ball and does not get called for a traveling violation. It gets it name from the common crab, which naturally are born with 8 legs. A well done crab dribble will incorporate 8 steps and give the illusion the player is only taking 2 steps.

Did you see Lebron James crab dribble all over the Wizards?

LeBron James's "trademark" play. Basically looking good while traveling. Not the reason seafood restaurants give you bibs.

LeBron tried to use a crab dribble to get through the Wizard's defense but was called for traveling.
