Actually, I've got to disagree. This is most definitely a travel and it should be called before the block. The player's final dribble landed about 5 feet behind the 3 point line. His final step was maybe 5 feet inside the the foul line. Could he reasonably jump 17 feet in, supposedly, 1 step?
I agree that a good rule of thumb is to call the obvious. This is a blatant call. We need to re-train ourselves to look for them.
