520    "It's hard to believe that there was a time when the jump 
       shot didn't exist in basketball. When the sport was 
       invented in 1891, players would take set shots with both 
       feet firmly planted on the ground. Defenders controlled 
       the sport, the pace was slower, and games would frequently
       end with scores fit for a football field. It took almost 
       forty years before players began shooting jump shots of 
       any kind and sixty-five years before it became a common 
       sight. When the first jump shooting pioneers left the 
       ground, they rose not only above their defenders, but also
       above the sport's conventions. The jump shot created a 
       soaring offense, infectious excitement, loyal fans, and 
       legends. Basketball would never be the same. Rise and Fire
       celebrates this crucial shot while tracing the history of 
       how it revolutionized the game, shedding light on all 
       corners of the basketball world, from NBA arenas to the 
       playgrounds of New York City and the barns of Indiana. 
       Award-winning journalist Shawn Fury obsesses over the jump
       shot, explores its fundamentals, puzzles over its 
       complexities, marvels at its simplicity, and honors those 
       who created some of basketball's greatest moments. Part 
       history, part travelogue, and part memoir, Rise and Fire 
       bounces from the dirt courts of the 1930s to today's NBA 
       courts and state-of-the-art shooting labs, examining 
       everything from how nets and rims affect a shooter to 
       rivalries between shooting coaches to how the three-
       pointer came to rule the game. Impeccably researched and 
       engaging, the book features interviews and profiles of 
       legendary figures like Jerry West, Bob McAdoo, Ray Allen, 
       and Denise Long-- the first woman ever drafted by the NBA,
       plus dozens more, revealing the evolution of the shot over
       time"--|cProvided by publisher
