Legal dribble ?

Team A inbounds the ball on their baseline in the back court. player A1 throws a baseball pass to A2. A2 then has the clear break for the basket, he takes 2 dribbles on the third he dribbles it off his leg causing him to lose control of the ball and for it to bounce up into the air. Just as the ball is about to hit the floor A2 catches it and continues his dribble towards the basket. Is this legal ?

Sounds like someone ended their dribble.

Nope, illegal (double) dribble.
