Legal, klancie.
The relevant rules are 7-6 and 7-5-7. 7-5-7 allows for the throw-in to be made from anywhere along the endling following a made or awarded basket. Nowhere in 7-5-7 does it say that the ball may not be bounced.
7-6-1 does say that the ball must enter the court directly (i.e., without touching OOB first), but then explicitly removes this requirement when 7-5-7 applies.
Verdict is: it's legal.
