This is traveling my friend. This is not a legal jump stop. It's never legal to jump off both feet and land without getting rid of the ball while airborne.

Think about it! A1 catches the ball with both feet on the floor. He jumps to shoot but B1 jumps to block the shot but doesn't touch the ball. A1 returns to the floor with the ball.

Same play. Traveling.
