Notice that the NBA rule says "directly over" the backboard. IOW, only a shot taken from inside the lane and immediately behind the backboard will be disallowed.

Kobe's and LeBron's shots were legal by this rule, as they were near the edge of or outside the lane.

The NFHS rule does not employ the word "directly," and thus receives different enforcement.
