	Origins of the Jump Shot - John Christgau
		Jumpin' Joe Fulks came from the tiny town of Birmingham along the Tennessee River in western Kentucky in the 1930s.
		The so-called "Babe Ruth of Basketball," Fulks was haunted all his life by alcoholism, which led to his murder in Kentucky in 1976.
		Because of the difficulties of his life and his tragic death, he is the most forgotten sports legend of our time.
