The finger roll is a specialized type of basketball layup shot where the ball is rolled off the tips of the player's fingers. The advantage of the finger roll is that the ball can travel high in the air over a defender that might otherwise block a regular jump shot or dunk, while the spin applied by the rolling over the fingers will carry the ball to the basket off the backboard. The shot was pioneered by center Wilt Chamberlain in the 1960s.[1]
Yes and no. I’m talking about using it as a post move where you bump the guy back then turn and rise over him and finger roll it over the rim. A Chamberlain special…as unstoppable as the Kareem sky hook.
