Why do NBA referees allow Lebron James to travel when other players are called?

I was watching the Hawks-Heat game tonight and Kyle Korver of the Hawks was called for traveling when he took 2 steps off the dribble when driving to the basket, but Lebron James stopped his dribble at the top of the key and took 4 steps and the referees allowed it. No wonder the Heat win so many games when their top player is allowed to walk to the basket when other players are not allowed the same privilege. When I played basketball in college, traveling was frequently called but I counted 5 times where James would have been called for traveling in the old days. No one can defend that kind of thing, and I think the NBA should stop this nonsense and double standard.
