 Jump shot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In basketball, a jump shot is an attempt to score a basket by jumping, usually straight up, and, mid-flight, propelling the ball in an arc into the basket.
Today the jump shot has many varieties, such as the turnaround jumper (jumping and turning in mid-air), the fadeaway (jumping away from the basket to create space) or the leaning jumper (jumping towards the basket to move away from a trailing defender).
Because a defender often has to jump to block a jump shot, an offensive player can try to get his defender in the air by using a pump fake.

 Boston.com / Sports / Basketball / Prince's block boosts Pistons
Tayshaun Prince sprinted downcourt to block a breakaway layup by Reggie Miller that would have tied the game, and the Detroit Pistons put on another dominant display of defense last night to defeat the Indiana Pacers, 72-67.
The block was the 19th of the game for the Pistons, one shy of the NBA playoff record set by Philadelphia in 1981.
Miller made four straight free throws to cut a 6-point deficit to 69-67, and it appeared he was about to tie it after Jermaine O'Neal blocked a dunk attempt by Rasheed Wallace, and Jamaal Tinsley stole the ball from Chauncey Billups to start a breakaway.

 Hansen To Lend Helping Hand Against Billikens :: The 6-11, 210-pound Big Ten block leader to see extended playing time ...
Redshirt sophomore Erek Hansen, who scored six points and had four rebounds and two blocked shots in the Michigan game, has impressed his coaches with his defensive performances over the course of 21 of Iowa's 28 games so far, even while averaging just 2.1 minutes per game.
An "extremely active" player at the defensive end, Hansen credits his ability to block to a simple formula: "Instinct, timing, being tall and being able to get up there and them not realizing it," he says.
I told him to just concentrate on the board play, and that he shouldn't be missing the free throw block outs, and I think those things come with strength.

 Almost a PTPer: ESPN Shot Block Basketball
ESPN Shot Block is essentially a home version of the basketball shooting games you see at arcades like Dave and Buster’s (NOT like what you see at amusement parks—you can actually score in the Shot Block baskets).
This last mode is a little clunky, though, since it’s not real one-on-one basketball, but a far more scripted version where you get 10 seconds to score (even if the defense steals the ball), and the first person to score 10 points wins (a definite edge to whoever goes first).
Obviously, the limits of the electronic scoreboard force some of these adjustments to traditional basketball rules, but the general weak and missing 2-player action is one of the major flaws in Shot Block.
