He attended the University of Wyoming and was MVP in 1943 in college AA basketball. After WWII, he spent five years as an early player in the new NBA. As a youngster, Kenny was five-foot-seven but his older brother was six-foot-two so when playing basketball, Kenny had to jump up over his brother to get off a shot. That is how the jump shot was born, and Kenny used it in college and professional basketball. He played in Denver and several other cities whose team names have now changed, but he also played for the Boston Celtics with Bob Cousy. After he left the NBA, he moved to Alaska and in 1965 settled in the Glennallen area, where he was a fishing and hunting guide in the Wrangle Mountains for thirty-five years. Kenny Sailors passed away January 2016 shortly after his 95th birthday.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: The Jump Shot’s Beginnings\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Becoming a Player\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Wyoming Hoops\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: A Special Someone and a Special Season\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Conference Champs and NCAA Bound\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: National Champs\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: The Jump Shot’s Evolution\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: Back in Wyoming\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: Going Pro\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: Steamrolled Out of Providence\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11: Retirement\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12: Hunting Wyoming’s Wild Country\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13: Cowboying Up and on to Alaska\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14: Alaska Life\u003cbr\u003eChapter 15: Alaska Adventures\u003cbr\u003eChapter 16: Back to Basketball in Alaska\u003cbr\u003eChapter 17: Return to Wyoming\u003cbr\u003eChapter 18: A Hall of Famer\u003cbr\u003eSources\u003cbr\u003eKenny Sailors Basketball Awards and Statistics\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Graphic Arts Center Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359271911767,"sku":"9780882409931","price":12.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/jump-shot-kenny-sailors-9780882409931","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
