You should look at the basketball rules fundamentals:
S. A ball that touches the front face or edges of the backboard is treated the same as touching the floor inbounds, except that, when the ball touches the thrower's backboard, it does not constitute a part of the dribble.
The play in question would only be a violation if he was throwing the ball off his opponent's backboard.

That is not a try, that is an intentional self pass. Thus, travelling.

Well now I'm more confused.
So it's not a dribble.
And in my judgement, it's not a try.
What the hell is it? Can the player dribble again?
I'm fine with the interpretation that it's a legal play, I'm just trying to fully understand why.
