Here is the pertinent part in the NBA rule book:
Rule 10, Section XIII
b. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing must release the ball to start his dribble before his second step.
The first step occurs when a foot, or both feet, touch the floor after gaining control of the ball.
The second step occurs after the first step when the other foot touches the floor, or both feet touch the floor simultaneously
So in the play, Wade completes his dribble with his right foot on the floor. The first step occurs AFTER gaining control of the ball, so his first step occurs when he steps back with his left foot. His second step occurs when he steps back with his right foot.

Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, given a chance to climb, they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions.
Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
