There was a rule change in 2009, but players are allowed to carry the ball(as they were in the 90's, then gather the ball near the end of a step or jump-stop, land that step and have two more steps). Giannis, LeBron, Harden stand out at first glance. I'm sure it's widespread.

They also get away with a lot since they have legalized "the gather", basically allowing guys to shuffle in any direction as part of catching the ball, and afterwards. That used to always be traveling.
