i got abit confused with the jumpstop discussion.
So in the 4th case, a player can actually pick up his dribble with 1 foot on the floor, does a few pump fakes for few seconds, and do a jumpstop (with no pivot). Due to the fact no pivot foot can be achieved if the other foot doesn't touch the floor. But i have yet seen players do this, is there a video about this? Awkward but legal.
also if the player wanted to do a jumpstop by catching the ball with 1 foot on the floor & jumps off that foot, and lands on the same 1 foot, has the player established a pivot or we have to wait till his 2nd foot touches the ground based on your reply on no.1 where the 2nd foot needs to land in order to make the 1st foot pivot.

2. Correct
3. Correct with my addition
4. Based on the correction in 1, which foot do you think is the pivot? Note that "stopping for a while" is of no consequence here -- as you've already asked and been told. And, how the F does a player catch the ball "with 1 foot touching the ground simultaneously?"
Just like with your previous posts on this subject, you are making it way harder than it is.
