If anything was unusual about this play, possibly a carry a few dribbles before entering the paint, but can't see it clear enough.
All good except he's not allowed to pivot after the jump stop and he did....with a large step, not a little shuffle or anything that could be considered hair splitting.

He jumped off of one foot well after catching the ball prior to the jump stop....he had it in both hands above his head before he jumped.
