Acerca desta película

Attendees of the 1943 NCAA Basketball Championships at Madison Square Garden witnessed something almost no one had ever seen before - a "leaping one-hander", now known as the "jump shot", that revolutionized the game and launched an unheralded squad from the University of Wyoming to the trophy. JUMP SHOT is the inspiring true story of Kenny Sailors, the developer and innovator of the shot that defined the game of basketball without letting it define him.

A wonderful documentary about basketball but an even better story about a man who gave his life to God, his family, and his country. Jump Shot explores the extraordinary and fascinating life of Kenny Sailors, the man who created the Jump Shot who then disappeared into the boondocks of Alaska. This documentary will make you laugh, cry, and wonder why you've never heard the name "Kenny Sailors".

What will you leave behind, what will your legacy be? For Kenny Sailor, the answer is a lot more than his invention of the jump shot. This movie will not only entertain, but motivate you. Hearing about Kenny's life feels like being given a warm hug from your grandpa. Next time I'm feeling down, this is the movie I'll watch to cheer myself up.

An Amazing Movie, a must watch for anyone who loves the sport of basketball. A great movie to show your fellow hoopers and an overall great story about a great man who changed the fundamentals of basketball forever. 10/10
