If anything was unusual about this play, possibly a carry a few dribbles before entering the paint, but can't see it clear enough.
Since he gathered and jumped on one foot is he allowed to pivot?

Looking at it again and seeing where/when he gathered it looks like he uses his left foot to come to a jump stop. By 4.44.2A ('11-'12CB) he cannot pivot. But he can jump off both feet for a try, just not sure that's what he did. Looks like he lifts his right foot and jumps off his left as he goes to shoot. As someone else said: splitting hairs, and with all they let go now, that seems minimal

Assuming your description is correct (I didn't watch the video), then why wouldn't that be legal?
