Forget the NBA unless you officiate it. Their mechanics and rules are different. In this case, an NBA player is allowed that extra step. Meaning they can pick up their pivot foot and put it back down on the floor (not sure they can start a dribble after picking up the pivot foot, though).

How can I be more specific? Cutter receives pass with right foot on the ground, steps with his left, then his right, and attempts a lay up. Never putting the ball on the floor. IMO this is a travel.
I think a lot of officials do not call this, so most think it is legal. You probably have a few officials in your area that get more travels than others. What do you think?
