Calling this play two steps is not rules language, but fan/player/coach speak.
If the gather happens with that left foot on the floor, then that's his pivot, and he travels as soon as it hits the floor. And this is more accurately considered to be two steps than a legal layup.
Saying that taking two steps is, by rule, legal, is just flat out wrong.
Doing so in a post ripping an official for a judgment error is ironic.
