I've looked through the NBA rules (link) and I could not find anything that would make this different from NFHS or NCAA. I don't know if they awarded 2 shots for a shooting foul or if they awarded bonus free throws. Lebron was definitely NOT in the act of shooting. So for NFHS & NCAA Lebron would be shooting free throws IF they are in the bonus.
In NBA rules, at the 5th foul in each quarter they shoot two FTs. I do not think they call it bonus, but that is how those rules are. I would think that late in the 4th Quarter this would not be too hard to accomplish.

Maybe I am missing something here, but I see jump stops a lot in the NBA. The problem is when they are performed at the lower levels (especially high school) they are called for traveling.
