No, it's a jump stop. See it all the time above the age of 15.

Most skilled players (point guards in particular) do this all the time. I see it many (but not all) games...and see it several times in some games.

The first jump is not usually a vertical jump but more of a stride...

...player dribbling down the court such that both feet are off the floor when he/she ends the dribble by catching it. The left foot lands, the player jumps/leaps forward off that foot, then lands on both feet together. Basic jump stop.
