The jump ball starts at the beginning of the game when the referee throws the ball up in the air.
The game starts with a jump ball where both teams line-up around the center circle and one member from each team attempts to jump up and tap the ball to their team.
A basketball match has 5 players from each team at a time on the court. In the centre ring, a player from each team will begin in 'jump ball'. This means that an umpire will throw a ball up and the player doing jump ball will try to tap the ball in the air to a player from their own team. This is how it begins.
It is possibly for a jump ball to be re done, but it has to be in emergency situations for example, when they do the jump ball and the lights go out, they will redo the jump.

If you jump to shoot, you have already lifted your pivot foot, and you must either shoot or pass the ball.
