Plot summary
Introducing his never before seen 'leaping one-hander' to the masses on a national level, Kenny Sailors quickly grew to be a fan favorite while leading his Wyoming Cowboys to the Collegiate National Championship in Madison Square Garden in 1943. But after playing on several losing teams in an unstable, emerging league now known as the NBA, Kenny disappeared into the Alaskan wilderness only to be forgotten by the sport he helped pioneer. Now, nearly sixty years later, the multitude of people he has touched along the way have forced Kenny’s humble reemergence.

Movie Reviews
This is a very entertaining documentary. The man
More than a basketball documentary
Jump Shot is a wonderful film that focuses on the life of Kenny Sailors, the man who created the jump shot. Yet, the film goes beyond that. IT tells the story of a man who gave his life to the sport he loved but ever lost sight of what really matters: God, family, and country. You can see the amount of care and thought that went into telling the life story of Kenny Sailors. The story is compelling, the visuals are interesting, and the interviews add such charm. This film goes beyond any 30 for 30 about basketball, it keeps the main focus on Kenny Sailors for the whole film and doesn't lost sight. I would highly recommend this for basketball and documentary fans alike.
