FACT: There are missed travels at EVERY level of play.

IMO: NBA guys & Violet have mastered the art of calling obvious travels & passing on the ones that need to be rewinded 4-6 times to validate.
NBA players just dont travel as much as the lower levels & their gathering skills are quite exceptional as well!
At the lower levels you see travels called that really never happened. I've witnessed calls made purely on the movement of the feet... what about the status of the ball? NBA officials dont make this call when there is doubt as to whether a player is holding a live ball inbounds.

On the obvious missed Wade travel (trap) last night, one of the commentators said (IKR) its tough for the official to watch the feet & the contact on those type of plays. Im quite sure the crew looked at that play to see how they could've got it right.

Recording a Triple-Double in the Finals (even though they lost) is a great personal achievement & is quite Star like IMO. But thats just me...
