Did he ever get two feet on the floor, in front of the shooter, before the shooter leapt?

Breaking it down screen by screen you can clearly see the defender moving into the path of the airborne shooter while he is in the air. Also I don't see why his two feet being on the ground would be definitive of it being one way or the other. What if he had two feet planted and was leaning w/ his body into the shooter?
As far as the "incidental contact" part goes that can be debated. I'm sure most contact on the court is incidental, but it's still a foul.
