I agree with False but your explanation is missing one primary requirement....
2 feet on the floor facing your opponent AND in their path. Being in the path is typically between the opponent and the way that they are moving or wish to move and that is often between them and the basket but not always.
A player often doesn't have LGP when they have two feet down and face an opponent who is running in a direction that is not towards them....they can't chase the opponent and have LGP.
