The hop step is the most blatant form of traveling you can imagine. Unfortunatly, the NBA doesn't consider it traveling, though they should. Of course though, it increases scoring, so go figure.

It is possible to do a legal jump stop and maintain the choice of either pivot foot...you just need to take your leap in the middle of a hard dribble so that you re-acquire the ball as you land with both feet. Now you have a choice of either pivot to do your move.
