fadeaways
Backward-leaning basketball shots
Fadeaways are shots in basketball where the shooter jumps backward while releasing the ball, creating separation from the defender: His fadeaways were nearly impossible to block.
The technique sacrifices power for space, requiring exceptional touch.
By extension, fadeaway can describe anything that gradually recedes or diminishes: The band's fadeaway from the spotlight was slow but inevitable.
