JUMP SHOT is the inspiring true story of Kenny Sailors, the developer and innovator of
the shot that defined the game of basketball without letting it define him.

Sailors was ready to take the jump shot to the pros. But after a few years Kenny
disappeared into the Alaskan wilderness only to be forgotten by the sport he helped
pioneer. In JUMP SHOT we meet basketball superstars and a multitude of everyday
people who Kenny's story has touched along the way.

homesteader in the Alaskan frontier, pioneer for female athletes, loving husband,
father and community leader. JUMP SHOT is the story of a man with deep faith who
brought to the game its greatest innovation, while always staying true to the things
that matter most.Behind the shot you know is the American story you'll never forget. Experience the
inspiring all-American true story of Kenny Sailors, the developer of the modern-day
jump shot in the global sport of basketball. From collegiate All American and NCAA
national champion, to pro basketball star, Kenny faded into the Alaska wilderness to
be forgotten by the sport he helped pioneer. Sixty-years later, he emerges through
his most passionate supporters - Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki, Clark
Kellogg, Bob Knight, Lou Carneseca, Kiki Vandeweghe, Nancy Lieberman, Chip
Engelland, Tim Legler, Fennis Dembo, David Goldberg and a host of other
basketball and sport legends -in an effort to recognize Kenny in the Naismith Hall
of Fame and tell the story of his impact on basketball, his country, and the people
who knew him best
