What about less OD and more SB for D-Wade?

Yes, or carrying and getting away with extra step. Travelling violation is the most inconsistent call in NBA, they don't call blatant ones on superstars, but then punish some poor European player for lifting his pinky toe 30ft away from the basket without getting any advantage.
They're not even ashamed as they often include these "super" plays in the highlights.

Maybe it's not so noticeable in the video but I'm positive Durant made 3 steps before the dunk. I watched it live and one camera showed it. It was obvious. But he's fast and the refs didn't see it.

Left foot down, cathing the ball, right foot, left foot, jump... 2,5 steps. I guess they allow that in the NBA.

Yep! Durant took an extra step. Jeff Van Gundy often points out a missed call, but even he rarely says anything about travelling.
Maybe refs and commentators got a memo with a list of players who NBA wants to promote. Jordan even said that some type of calls are not called on him.
And the late calls are purely disgusting sometimes.
To be fair Durant doesn't travel nearly as much as Wade, Rose and LeBron with his double hop step.

Idk if this is a good example of an NBA missed travel one can argue that the two steps begin once the guy picks up the dribble by clutching(or catching as you say) the ball with his hands.

Check the Suggestions they are important

one extra step is mostly a no call in the nba, especially for franchise players. But it is the same for every team, even when the nba wanted to change it when they allowed two steps instead of one because two steps was inofficially already allowed.
