hook shot
Joe Fulks scored a record 63 points in a single game in 1949 using a new type of shot known as the "jump shot." This technique involved shooting the ball while jumping, which allowed players to release the ball at a higher point and with greater accuracy, making it more difficult for defenders to block. Fulks' innovative use of the jump shot revolutionized basketball scoring and contributed to his high-scoring performance.
