 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 (facing away from the basket and then spinning towards it and shooting), 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.

Jumping a ball is difficult enough but here, not only do I jump a moving ball, but I jump it just high enough to barely make it through the tire.
To jump further is to virtually guarantee that even IF you made it over the wall, you'll never keep the cue ball on the table.

 SignOnSanDiego.com > Sports -- LeBron James struggles with his jump shot
Part of the problem is James' tendency to fade away as he jumps – a habit he developed in high school and resolved to correct over the summer.
He insists his jump shot will be fine, citing his 3-point prowess over the final three years of high school at St. Vincent-St. Mary's in Akron, Ohio.
But the 3-point line in those gyms is almost five feet shorter than the NBA line, and James does not have the type of pure natural stroke that will allow him to easily adjust to the long-range nature of shooting in the pros.

 Hook shot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hook shot, in basketball, is a play in which the offensive player, usually turned perpendicular to the basket, gently shoots the ball with a sweeping motion of his arm in an upward arc with a follow-through which ends over his head.
Unlike the jump shot, it is shot with only one hand; the other arm is often used to create space between the shooter and the defensive player.
Once the ball is in shooting position, the hook shot is one of the most difficult shots to effectively defend.
