Jump Shot: The Kenny Sailors Story

Executive producer Stephen Curry unearths this key moment in basketball history

The jump shot is one of basketball’s most athletic and impressive moves, but few know the history of how it came to be. This documentary narrates the life of the innovative sportsman Kenny Sailors, who not only invented the technique but also had a sparkling career in the sport, served in the military, and also became an advocate for female basketball players. Beyond his achievements, he was a loyal family man who left the world of sport to live in the Alaskan wilderness, where his story was lost until now.
