jump shooting
Leaping release technique
Jump shooting is a basketball technique where a player shoots while jumping, releasing the ball at or near the peak of the jump.
This creates separation from defenders and a higher release point, making the shot harder to block.
A player skilled at this is a jump shooter: He's primarily a jump shooter who struggles to score at the rim.
