I don't ever remember having the ball with my pivot on the floor and jumping to a jump stop. And don't recall seeing it hardly ever.
Now, obviously jumping off one foot gathering the ball in the air and landing on two feet is done very often.

You'll see it a lot in drives into the lane. That's where I see it most often. A player will gather and jump off one foot past a defender, land on both, and then go up for the shot.
Another place it is used sometimes is in catching a ball and squaring to shoot on the perimeter.
