unexpected location, 2: Your shot is harder to block, and 3: a
bit of an off balanced shot. But that is nothing that Practice
cannot fix.  First you have to set up a steady distance that you
will be jumping each time you shoot a leaning jumper. If you

have to shoot it.  If you try to shoot an unpracticed fade-away
jumper chances are that it will fall short of the rim. You need
