Jump Shot

Kenny Sailors, known for popularizing his innovative ‘leaping one-hander’ shot, became a beloved figure as he led the Wyoming Cowboys to victory in the Collegiate National Championship at Madison Square Garden in 1943. However, after spending time on various unsuccessful teams in what would eventually become the NBA, Kenny vanished into the remote Alaskan wilderness, fading from the memory of the sport he helped shape. Now, nearly six decades later, the many individuals he influenced have prompted his modest return to the spotlight.
