As I see the play, it is a travel, because the player lifted his pivot foot before starting what turned out to be a dribble. I also see it as the perpetuation of a myth, as all the knowledgeable guys in the crowd turn to each other knowingly and say, "You can't pass it to yourself." Then the same thing happens on the other end a few minutes later, but the pass was thrown by a player who does not leave the floor, and then recovers his own pass. Half the crowd immediately yells, "Hey, call that on both ends!"
