I don't know how old this is...but this is INSANE.
7 step travel?!
Superstar calls I get, but this is ridiculous.

Yeah its everywhere. Not sure why the on ball defender isn't pointing and screaming.

i'm assuming it's because it wouldn't make a difference. besides, it's the refs' job to see it.

Sure it would. The good players recognize this kind of thing, and make their own calls on the court... if it is obvious (clearly this is) the ref will take notice.
It's the NBA! Superstars gets away with traveling all the time, especially shooting guards and penetrating players.
i always think jamil does this when trailing and catching the ball at the top of the arc.
The little jump step landing I get not calling, steps 5, 6 and 7 are beyond ridiculous even for the NBA

I thought it was up to the older brothers of players on the court to make that call from behind the bench.

Yep, Jamil does that
every single time!
I agree with LAMUfan that Wade doesn't really travel egregiously until after the jump-stop. No NBA refs -- and now, very few college refs -- call that jump-stop travel.
But yes, after the jump-stop, Wade just strolls with the ball, obviously changing his pivot foot. Funny.

Yep, last three are a travel, before that would NEVER get called. And I agree with others, first thing I thought when I saw this was Jamil catching the trailer pass at the top of the key.

Hope he still had that puffy coat for the polar vortex!

I agree. Even slowed down, I can't even really see the first 4 individual steps. I'd let it go.
The next 3 steps are hilarious though. Obviously that's where the whistle should be blown
It happens to superstar teams in the NCAA too.
