Also it legal to try to slap the ball out of my hand? That's all thanks.

1) If he has legal guarding position, then he may move to maintain it. He may not move "forward" into you. That said, it sounds as if yuou are playing in your driveway or the local park. Learn to deal with the contact. IT will make you a better player.

2) Of course he can try to slap the ball out of your hand.
