finger roll
Soft basket touch
A finger roll is a basketball shot where the ball is released off the fingertips with a soft, rolling motion, typically while driving toward the basket.
The technique gives the ball a gentle spin and arc, making it harder to block: He finished with a beautiful finger roll off the glass.
Separately, a finger roll is a small oblong bread roll, similar to a hot dog bun.
