Forget the NBA unless you officiate it. Their mechanics and rules are different. In this case, an NBA player is allowed that extra step. Meaning they can pick up their pivot foot and put it back down on the floor (not sure they can start a dribble after picking up the pivot foot, though).

An NBA player is never allowed by rule to pick up their pivot foot and put it back on the floor. The manner in which is pivot foot is determined means different plays are legal under NBA rules and not so under NFHS/NCAA, but a player is still never able to pick up his pivot foot and put it back down.
