What Is The Definition Of A Reverse Layup In Basketball?
1. This is a close-up shot in basketball in which the player stands near one side of the rim, but shoots the ball underhand towards the opposite side of the rim, often using their less dominant hand. By doing so, the ball may be better protected from opponents trying to block the shot. The player usually tries to bank the ball off the backboard to complete this shot.
