Bring back The Big "O", Cousy, the Jones', get some actual skills back into the game.

I hear this criticism a lot, but as long as I can remember, going back to the Bird, Magic, Jordan days, I never remember traveling being called very frequently, if at all. So it's not necessarily a symptom of the modern game, but a long-standing basketball tradition that players will get the benefit of the extra step or two.
Perhaps Cousy, West, Wilt and Maravich were called for traveling a lot back in their day, but that predates my time on this earth.
Thoughts?
