Can't catch, turn, dribble, and shoot in 1.0 s. Try it. Lebron couldn't even do that.

Technically speaking, its only dribble and shoot.  Clock starts on the catch so mentioning the catch means nothing since the process of the catch takes no time off. Turning is simultaneous to the dribble. I think we all can agree that dribbling is faster than shooting.  Not sure about your physicist buddy but it takes Curry .4 seconds to get his shot off.  Just takes a quick google search to look that up.  I think we all can agree that taking 1 dribble is quicker than taking a shot. The math says it can be done.  I even went as far to ask Chatgpt AI and here is the response.Yes, it's possible to dribble and shoot a basketball for a buzzer-beater with 1 second left on the clock, although it requires quick action and precise execution. In such a scenario, the player who receives the inbound pass would have just enough time for a very quick dribble before taking the shot.

I like the determination of not letting it go though.  Gotta respect that.  I find the science behind it all interesting.

As a scientist, I agree the science is very interesting, I always enjoyed those segments on ESPN where the science of various sporting actions were analyzed.  I will say this. The young man, Cole Jervis, executed the play about as well as one could.
