I believe this is legal, as throwing the ball against your own backboard does not constitute a dribble. It is not the same as catching your own pass, since the hitting of the backboard is like the hitting of the floor inbounds. See casebook play 4.15.4(c).

Of course, if this were the opponent's backboard, it would be a double dribble violation.
