- NBA has three spectacular basketball shots. There is a ramp shot off the flippers aimed at the basket. There is also a jump shot, made when the ball goes up a plastic ramp and circles just below the basket. And there is a free throw shot, where the ball is thrown 12 inches through the air to the basket.
