Because the standard is "hitting a homer", and not merely "playing in the Majors", Dave DeBusschere does not make the list. DeBusschere had one hit (a single) in 24 AB in 36 games as a White Sox pitcher in 1962 and 1963.
Now, if the question had been "who is the only athlete to picth a shutout and sink an NBA free throw", then DeBusschere would have been on that list. One of his 3 career victories was a 6-hit shutout of the Cleveland Indians 8/13/63, in which he bested Mudcat Grant.

Another Home Run And Nba Shot Player!
Who hit a home run and also an NBA free throw?
Dick Groat, Pittsburgh Pirates and Pistons! He has not been mentioned yet. Gene Conley and Danny Ainge, both Celtics, also did it as Baseball Fever fans said. Nice question!!!!

Mark Hendrickson hit a home run on 6/21/2003 off Sun-Woo Kim. He also made 110 free throws for Philadelphia, Sacramento, New Jersey and Cleveland. And for what's its worth he's pitched 2 shutouts.

Although it's not the NBA here are two others.
Frank Baumholtz hit 25 homers and made 121 free throws in the BAA. Chuck Connors hit 2 homers and made 41 free throws in the BAA. Also, Ron Reed is another that made a free throw and pitched a shutout (8 of them) but in 620 at bats and never went yard.

Add Howie Schultz to the list of guys who made a free throw in and NBA game and hit a MLB home run. If you expand it out to "professional basketball" there would be several more names, including Lou Boudreau. In fact, that would be a fair way to do it since it's not the fault of these players that NBA hadn't started yet.
