It is possible....it must be started with both feet still on the floor.

It relates to the dribble/pivot foot requirement since, in a jump stop, there never was a pivot. This closes the hole by allowing a dribble but limiting it so that a player can't get the advantage of starting it as if there were a pivot by lifting one foot and beginning to step. The rules consider it too much of an advantage to be able to execute a jump stop and then start to step before starting a dribble.
