Jump ball
The 1937-38 b-ball seson was the last year of the "center-jump" after every basket. The next season it was changed to having the opponent take in the ball after a basket. I remember because I was the center when I played b-ball in the eighth grade. {This is a good trivia question]
in basketball you have to be able to jump and move your body in a way to steal the ball or get it in the basket.
In order to dunk a basketball, you have to first be able to jump high enough to be able to get your hand above the rim of the basket.

When doing a layup, the player lifts the outside foot, or the foot away from the basket.
Basketball players can appear to hang in the air when they hold onto the rim of the basket. This is a move that is popular among college basketball players, and professional basketball players.
