No it's not. Its traveling when you switch your pivot foot or take more than 2 steps while drivving to the basket.
The pivot foot is the foot that remains planted on the ground while a player is holding the ball. A player may pivot on this foot to change direction or position, but they cannot lift it off the ground and return it to the floor without dribbling the ball. If the pivot foot is lifted before dribbling or if the player travels by taking too many steps, it results in a traveling violation. Proper use of the pivot foot is essential for maintaining ball control and creating space.
To demonstrate proper basketball footwork when picking up your pivot foot, start by establishing your pivot foot, which is the foot that stays planted while the other foot can move. When you pick up your pivot foot, make sure to lift it off the ground before you start dribbling or passing the ball. This helps you avoid traveling violations and maintain control of the ball during the game.
Pivot is to turn. You typically pivot on the ball of your foot.

It is impossible to travel when inbounding. While there are space restrictions for a throw-in, the thrower is not required to maintain a pivot foot or observe any of the other restrictions of the traveling rule.
If you stopped dribbling the ball & trying to pass it & losses control of it (ball dropped from your hand & you picked it up again) its a double dribble violation even if your pivot foot didn't move. But if a ball is coming from a pass & accidentally drop the ball & u pass it then its not a violation!
A travel is called. You can move one foot while the ball is in your hands and you have not dribbled. Moving two will result in a travel.
The ball will be traveling at the same speed when it returns to Earth.
That would be double-dribbling (having two hands on the ball at the same time following the establishment of your pivot foot, assuming that you have not just caught the ball and haven't moved yet).
No, in basketball, you cannot move your pivot foot while maintaining possession of the ball.
The pivot joint only "folds & straightens" whereas a ball and socket can move in any direction AND twist.
In the NBA rule book, traveling violations occur when a player takes more than two steps without dribbling the ball. The player must establish a pivot foot and can only move that foot without dribbling. If a player violates these guidelines, it results in a traveling violation and the opposing team gains possession of the ball.
