I agree this isn't even close.
The defender had LGP. He was facing the opponent. He was in his path. He had both feet down 2-3 times between when the dribbler was at the top of the key and the point of contact. He was moving laterally with no component of movement towards the dribbler.
However, the dribbler picked up the ball and jumped. The defender was still moving laterally after that point...and such that it increase the amount of contact (not moving out of the path).

Agree.
NBA "Basic Principles" regarding "Block-charge":
"A defensive player is not permitted to move into the path of an offensive player once he has started his shooting motion."
Therefore, even if the defender has LGP, he is not permitted to keep moving into the path of offensive player, once the habitual motion of a layup starts, in this case.
Thanks.
