Pass Off Backboard
I saw LebRon James passed the ball to himself off the backboard after he had ebded his dribble. Is this legal in NFHS?

It is legal at all levels. It is only a dribble if you throw the ball off your opponent's basket.

Peace

Legal play at all levels of play

Edit: Except apparently for FIBA

Self Pass And Dunk ???
NFHS. We've discussed this many times before here on the Forum. Many believe that anything thrown off of one's own backboard should, or must, be treated as a shot, so all bets are off in regard to illegal dribble, travel, team control, etc. I'm not sure that there is a written citation that confirms this, but this is what most follow in regard to such a play.

Not ALL levels. FIBA would be illegal.

Is that only because FIBA makes the opposite distinction between an opponent's basket and one's own basket?

I don't think so. FIBA releases interpretations yearly and we were told to treat a pass off the backboard (any backboard I believe) as a dribble.

Forgive me but I do not think of FIBA on any level in the rules department.

People also get these distinctions mixed up too, because in a sport like football you score points at the opponents end zone and defend your end zone. I see people get these mixed up in other sports where that classification is not the same as it relates to other sports where a "goal" is usually scored. It think soccer uses the same definitions as you see in football.

Peace
