PS...the gif is not a travel. his pivot foot (right) stays down until he goes up for the shot.
^To me, it looks like he kept his pivot foot (right foot) down from the point he stopped dribbling to the point he went up for the shot.
the irony of this move (he travelled imo) is Kobe did it against a player who travels like 70-80% of time he drives to the hoop ..

Like i said try watching it from another camera. Watch this one (the first one).http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/qhA0zCJV6mcHe receives the ball, he goes inside for a penetration. He stops with both the feet (that means he can choose his pivotal foot now). He fakes the shot. BUT after he fakes, he does a little jump and he moves both the feet for a moment. You can see it. He stops, he fakes, but he moves both the feet. This is where he travels. Then he finishes the movement. In Europe they call it 99% of the times. I used to be a ref, so i'm used to watch the feet everytime, and to me it's really clear he travels. His intentions were good, but the execution wasn't.

The NBA calls only about 50% of travels, though. LOL.
Someone needs to teach Walton, Odom, and Gasol how to dunk a ball. I've never seen a 7 footer settle for so many layups.
