Just as long as you don't move your other foot, then the foot you have planted on the ground will be your pivot DON'T MOVE IT. Your foot won't become your pivot until you move the OTHER foot. So for example your teammate gives you the ball. You decide to move your right foot. As long as you keep you left foot (pivot foot) planted, and don't move it you won't travel.

If you step before you dribble is it a travel?

Yes, this would be considered a travel because you first took a step (legal, has a pivot foot), picked up the ball (legal, has a pivot foot), did a jump stop (legal, but no more pivot foot) then jumped and landed back on the foor (this is a walk because you are assigning another pivot point for your body after you lost the original pivot point).Traveling in BasketballYes, it is considered a travel. You have taken three steps and it is a travel. If the ref saw it, you will be called on it and a turn-over will be called on you! A travel in basketball means you moved with out dribbling the ball. So if you are dribbling all that time you will be fine, however if you are not and keep on stopping and picking up the ball that would be a travel .
