The left was his pivot and he lift it.

It was a travel and the footwork was messy, but I guess in this day and age even this can be considered ideal footwork in the NBA.

Yeah you're right. He lifts his pivot foot, his left foot, before dribbling. So on top of everything else that I said, the play is a travel from the start.

Lifting the pivot is never a travel. Going down to it is.

Not in this day and age nor in any day and age from the 1980s on...
