This move is known as a "step-through." It's 100% legal and always has been.
Similar footwork (lifting the pivot foot and then stepping with the other foot before a shot) is also used in the "up and under" post move.
When a player lifts his pivot foot, he's allowed to step with his other foot as long as he passes or shoots before the pivot foot touches the floor again.
It's true that the step-through hasn't always been popular and therefore may "look wrong" to people, but the rules are clear. It's not a gray area. You guys arguing otherwise are making fools of yourselves.

Again, I pasted the rule above - it's not a travel unless he returns his raised pivot foot to the floor.

Like I said, NBA fans get a bit touchy about saying 3 steps is a travel and y'all obliging proved my point.

Jokic didn’t do either of those things though. He established his left foot as his pivot foot. He didn’t raise the pivot
