What the hell is it? Can the player dribble again?
I'm fine with the interpretation that it's a legal play, I'm just trying to fully understand why.

Because they don't want to void that great dunk where the athletic stud uses the backboard to look even more awesome.
Now, Adams seems to be splitting hairs and saying the violation should be called if the player lands after catching it rather than going straight to the dunk.
Frankly, the same rules apply, and if one is a violation, there's no rule justification for differentiating between the plays.
