Joe Dumars and Isaiah Thomas (high off the glass).
It's a superior shot because it is as close as you can get to a ball vertically falling into the basket which allows one to utilize the entire rim. |

Lin does have a sweet bank shot. Its a shame its so rare these days. Its a great option for the vertically challenged, like myself
 . Lin fortunately doesn't have that problem. |

Also allows you to get your shot off for the and one. The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.

The bank shot in basketball is similar to the bunt in baseball. Everyone should know how to do it but most don't.
