It makes no difference, you can describe it either way (and it's still a lousy cliche'). Catches the ball with both feet off the floor, right, left, lifts the right, layup. Or the pivot already on the floor. Either is legal.

Had you continued with your description, 2 1/2 steps would not have been legal.
