No, you can't.

If one foot is on the floor:
1. It is the pivot when the other foot touches in a step.
2. The player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both. Neither foot can be a pivot in this case.

but in your post you said the first action was a travel.

You have to end you dribble with the foot on the floor, jump and land with both feet simultaneously. And you still cannot pivot.

Hence the confusion. BBR is both right and wrong depending on which jumpstop is being discussed. I know he knows this rule and is ruling on the one where the dribble is picked up with one foot on the ground...no pivot allowed after the jump/landing. However, I believe the question is meaning to imply that the dribbler strides off of one foot, catches the dribble, and lands on both feet. In that case, a choice of pivots is allowed.
