In the NBA, a layup is when the player takes FOUR steps towards the basket and leaves off one foot (usually opposite of shooting hand) and attempts to score a basket (backboard or no backboard). The term is the same in NCAA, and HS Basketball just 2 steps instead of the NBA 4 stepper.

The layup is a very short range shot and many utilize the backboard. The dunking shot is the shortest range wise, but you could call it a lay up.
