jumpshots
Airborne scoring techniques
A jumpshot is a basketball shot taken at the peak of a vertical leap, releasing the ball at the highest point to make it harder to block.
The jumpshot revolutionized basketball, replacing the earlier set shot as the game's fundamental offensive skill.
Players work endlessly on their jumpshots: His jumpshot is automatic from the elbow.
