It may not be if he actually pinned it to the floor, but he didn't. He batted the ball, that's all. That is just another dribble.
As for the leg analogy, the ball touching the leg on the way down or even while in contact with the dribbler's hand is nothing. The ball must get "caught" there, frozen between the hand and leg, for it to be a violation.
