A hop step or jump stop in 2 steps in motion, pivoting afterwards would be 3 steps, clearly travel.
The below is from the NCAA rule book for men and women basketball. The NBA rule book is too...shit...to try and isolate where the rule is.
b) Shooter’s Hop. When a stationary perimeter shooter receives a pass
while in contact with the court a pivot foot has been established. When after
receiving this pass the shooter then immediately hops with both feet to achieve
a desired shooting position, she has violated the provisions of the travel rule.
The shooter may legally perform a jump stop prior to releasing the try if she is
moving or dribbling, and with one foot on the court, she jumps off that foot and
simultaneously lands on both feet. From that position she may jump and release
a try, but may not pivot on either foot
