In the NBA, if someone steals the ball, does the person he steals it from also get charged with a turnover?

Question

For example, if Magic stole the ball from Bird, does Bird get a TO?

Answer 1

Yes. Whenever you lose the ball to opponents, and you are the last one to touch it, you get striked with a Turn Over.
Examples: Bad pass, Offensive 3-second violation, Offensive Foul, Out of Bound, and in some case, shot clock violation.

Answer 2

Yes, he gets an "Apple Pie" TURNOVER for handling the ball poorly.

Keep that turnover mess to a minimum.

Turnover-

-Get jacked for the rock
-Throw the ball out of bounds or to a defender
-Traveling
-I guess you get a turnover if you charge offensively while in possession of the ball. Maybe even without possession.

Either way, just take care of the rock!

Answer 3

Yes. The player who lost the ball gets charged with the turn over. If the pass was stolen, the player who passed the ball gets the turn over.

Answer 4

Examle, Lebron passed to Jordan, it was intercepted lebron gets TO. last person to touch the ball that gives to another team is Charged with the TO, also if you go out of bounds charged with the TO.

Hope it helps
