Similar situation. A1 is 2 inches from the baseline and 10 feet from the rim and shoots the ball over the corner of the backboard. Legal or not?

Illegal if the ball passes over the top of the backboard.
There is a video of Larry Bird making this shot that was used in some NBA ad a while back. If you look carefully, you can see the official signalling "no basket."
