set shots
Grounded basketball attempts
Set shots are basketball shots taken while standing still, with both feet planted on the floor.
Before the jump shot became dominant in the 1950s, the set shot was the standard shooting technique: He practiced his set shot from the free-throw line.
Now largely obsolete in competitive play, it survives mainly in youth basketball and free throws.
