The only time I remember a player doing this at the professional level was Matt Barnes (when he was with the Orlando Magic) against Kobe Bryant on a throw-in. Kobe Bryant didn't flinch. It's not something you'll really see a lot period.

As to the legality, as long as there's no contact, I see nothing illegal about this tacit.
