The official NBA ruling states that a player must "lose control" of the basketball and that another player must touch the basketball in order for the original player to regain his dribble. I vaguely remember seeing players such as Pippen employ such tactics in the past but don't know if it is still legal now.

it incredibly is criminal, and many times used while a participant can not recuperate the ball on a similar time as last inbounds. The participant will bounce into the air, get administration of the ball, and attempt and hit an opponent with it in one in each of those style that he can no longer recuperate it earlier his very own ft touch the floor. it incredibly is a marvelous occasion of a hustle play. additionally, now and returned a participant will throw it against an opponent on an inbounds; I certainly have seen performs the place the inbounder is below the opponent's basket, passes the ball against an opponent's back, recovers, and lays it in earlier the defender can react. If no harm is meant to the participant, those styles of performs are criminal.

Yes it is legal, the player just needs to make sure they arent touching the ball when it touches the defender. For example if you hold onto the ball and just touch the defender with it, that would be illegal, but if you throw it at the defenders shin and it bounces off then you proceed to pick the ball up, that is perfectly legal.

as far as i know it is because it is touching another player and the ball is technically loose but it may come down to a discusion of if possesion was lost or not.
