Experience the inspiring all-American true story of Kenny Sailors, the developer of the modern-day jump shot in the global sport of basketball. From collegiate all-American and NCAA national champion, to pro basketball star, Kenny faded into the Alaska wilderness to be forgotten by the sport he helped pioneer. Sixty years later, he emerges through his most passionate supporters?Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki, Clark Kellogg, Bob Knight, Lou Carnesecca, Kiki Vandeweghe, Nancy Lieberman, Chip Engelland, Tim Legler, Fennis Dembo, David Goldberg and a host of other basketball and sport legends?in an effort to recognize Kenny in the Naismith Hall of Fame and tell the story of his impact on basketball, his country, and the people who knew him best.

Kenny Sailors, his jump shot, and the Wyoming Cowboys proved they could beat anybody, anytime, anywhere in 1943. The story of the Pokes' inspiring run to the NCAA basketball championship at Madison Square Garden in the Big Apple actually begins in little Hillsdale, Wyo., during the Great Depression. When young Kenny and his older brother, Bud, weren't working on the family farm, they could be found shooting baskets with a leather ball at a rusted iron rim on a dirt court, usually through the teeth of a gusting wind. One spring afternoon in 1934, Kenny grew tired of Bud, who had sprouted to 6 feet 5 inches tall, swatting traditional set shots back in his face. So, the 13-year-old with springs for legs made a move that would revolutionize basketball. "The one thing I could do was jump. I could broad jump and high jump when I was just a punk kid. I had legs on me and I could get up. I won state here in Laramie with a broad jump of 22 feet as a senior, " Sailors said, seven and a half decades later. "I thought, ‘that guy is big, and I'm not very big. But I can jump. ’ “So I decided to run right at Bud and jump straight up. I leaped as high as I could and shot the ball over him. I don't remember if it was one-handed or two-handed, but I made one. " And so the jump shot was invented?or at the very least perfected?by Sailors, literally on Wyoming soil. Hank Luisetti, an All-American at Stanford in the 1930s, garnered national attention with a unique one-handed shot, but he didn't leave the floor with both feet. The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame suggests that Glenn Roberts may have been the first to shoot a jumper. Roberts, a Virginian, used a two-handed jump shot in the early- and mid-1930s while in high school and at Emory & Henry College. Joe Faulks is also considered to be one of the "fathers" of this shot, honing his skills with it as a kid in Kentucky before attending Murray State and then playing from 1946-1962 with the NBA’s Philadelphia Warriors. But many credible basketball historians and legendary coaches from the era consider Sailors to be the first pure jump shooter. "I heard of Kenny Sailors, " said Jim Brandenburg, Wyoming head coach from 1979-87, who was a schoolboy in San Antonio when the Cowboys were making national headlines in 1943. "Most of the high school coaches in Texas were still teaching the underhanded free throw or the two-handed push shot. We were just starting to develop the one-handed set shot, more the one-handed step shot and the step-back one-hander. ” "We knew about the jump shot, ” Brandenburg said, “but we didn't have any coaches that could really teach us step by step, so we could really get into it. We knew that Kenny was one of the guys credited for starting the jump shot. " Coach Ev Shelton embraced Sailors' flashy game from the moment the talented 5-foot-10-inch freshman stepped on campus in Laramie. Shelton, a Naismith Hall of Fame head coach, and Sailors, a three-time All-American (1942, 1943, 1946) guard, guided Wyoming to a 31-2 record during the 1942-1943 season. That season for the Cowboys included NCAA tournament wins over Oklahoma (53-50), Texas (58-54) and finally, Georgetown (46-34) in the title game. Wyoming then played National Invitation Tournament champion St. John's at Madison Square Garden to prove once and for all who the best team in the country was. Wyoming prevailed 52-47 in overtime. Sailors still remembers the feeling of taking the floor in the "World's Most Famous Arena" as if those glory days happened last week. "Here I am, just a kid off the farm down there in Hillsdale, never been out of the state before, and only 19 years old, " Sailors said of his first game at Madison Square Garden. "You can imagine the first time when I went in there. They announce your name when you go on the court, 'Kenny Sailors from Wyoming. ' “And the crowd, they're going nuts. I've never seen anything like it in my life. That's more people than I ever saw in a building in my life. Never even come close to it probably. " "[After the NCAA Championship] we got back to the Laramie train station and the whole town was there, which was only about 8, 000 people, " Sailors recalled. "We'd seen twice that at Madison Square Garden. Boy oh boy, it was kind of embarrassing because we couldn't go anywhere around Laramie. I went to go buy a necktie, and they gave it to me. I went to buy a meal and couldn't pay for it. " When the cheering was over, Sailors and six of his teammates went off to fight in World War II. College basketball's 19-year-old national player of the year was already commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marines and was sent to the South Pacific not long after the team returned from New York City to Laramie. After two years of service, Sailors returned to the University of Wyoming, which due to the war had suspended the basketball program for the 1943-1944 season, to finish his collegiate career in 1945-1946. He played in the NBA, including a stint with the Denver Nuggets, before leaving basketball for an outdoor life with his beloved wife Marilynne. The Sailors owned the Heart Six Dude ranch in Jackson, Wyo., and then moved to Alaska where they worked as hunting guides for 33 years. When Marilynne passed away in 2002, Kenny moved back to Laramie. Well into his 90s, Sailors lived in an apartment just steps away from the University of Wyoming’s War Memorial Stadium and regularly attended Cowboys (and Cowgirls) basketball games, where he was treated like a rock star by the Arena-Auditorium fans. He suffered a heart attack in December 2015 and died Jan. 30, 2016. He was survived by his son, Dan, daughter-in-law, Jean, eight grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild, according to the Casper Star-Tribune. He was 95.

Great story! Great wirness. Wyoming basketball star Kenny Sailors, considered by many to have originated the jump shot, in 2012. (Michael Smith/AP) Kenny Sailors, a two-time all-American who led the University of Wyoming to the 1943 NCAA basketball championship and who is often considered the first player to develop the modern jump shot, died Jan. 30 at an assisted-living center in Laramie, Wyo. He was 95. His death was announced by the university. The cause was not disclosed. Mr. Sailors was a 5-foot-10 Wyoming farm boy who, untutored and practicing with his brother underneath a windmill, developed an athletic, innovative style of basketball at a time when most players never left their feet. Yet he was a forgotten star, as younger generations of athletes found glory on the strength of the shot that he perfected in a remote time and place before the age of videotape. Sailors was a brilliant ballhandler, but his greatest contribution to the sport was almost accidental, as he taught himself to soar high in the air and release a pinpoint shot at the peak of his jump. Other players and fans were shocked by his audacity. Kenny Sailors in 1950 as a member of the NBA’s original Denver Nuggets. (AP/AP) Revolutionary for its time, the jump shot later became universal throughout all levels of basketball, the signature of such latter-day stars as Jerry West, Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry. “Nothing has ever changed a sport like the jump shot changed basketball, ” Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight said in a documentary promoting Mr. Sailors for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. “Nobody in my lifetime has done anything to raise the sport to the level of popularity that he did. ” Mr. Sailors first gained national attention in 1941, when his Wyoming Cowboys appeared at New York’s Madison Square Garden against top teams from the East. “Most of us came off farms or ranches, ” he told the New York Daily News in 2014. “Had never been outside of Wyoming before. We got to ride on the train. First time we ever rode on a train, most of us. ” But on the basketball court, Mr. Sailors had something that even New York City had never seen. “He jumped up higher than all the defenders, and he shot it one-handed, ” Jack Rose, a spectator at some of those early games at Madison Square Garden, told in 2015. “We’d never seen anything like it. We all looked at each other like, ‘What was that? ’ ” As a junior at Wyoming, Mr. Sailors led his Cowboys to the 1943 NCAA championship, scoring 16 points in the title game, a 46-34 victory over Georgetown. He was the only player from either team to score in double figures and was named the tournament’s outstanding player. “His ability to dribble through and around any type of defense was uncanny, ” the New York Times reported, “just as was his electrifying one-handed shot. ” A week earlier, St. John’s had won the National Invitation Tournament, which was considered more prestigious than the NCAA Tournament at the time. In a benefit for the Red Cross, Wyoming met St. John’s in a showdown to prove which team was the king of college basketball. The Cowboys prevailed in overtime, 52-47. Wyoming finished the season with a record of 31-2, claiming its first and only national basketball championship. Sailors was named a first-team all-American and player of the year. Three years later, after Mr. Sailors had returned to college from the Marine Corps, Life magazine photographer Eric Schaal caught him in classic midair form, and the image was circulated nationwide. Most people had never seen a jump shot before, and it soon caught on with players throughout the country. Sailors developed his shot when he was about 13, while playing against his older brother at their farm near tiny Hillsdale, Wyo. (population 47). “My brother Bud was five years older than me and he was 6-foot-5, ” Mr. Sailors told last year. “I was only about 5-8 at the time, and I couldn’t even get a shot off over him, let alone make a basket. He’d swat it back in my face every time. ” His only solution was to leap in the air and shoot the ball over his brother’s outstretched arms. The jump shot was born out of necessity, Mr. Sailors recalled in 2014, in those games against his brother. “I shot the ball, I don’t know how, maybe I just threw it at the basket, ” he told the Daily News. “But nevertheless it went in. And he said, ‘Kenny, that’s a good shot, if you can develop it. ’ ” Other players have been cited as early innovators of the jump shot, including Stanford’s Hank Luisetti in the 1930s, but basketball historian Jerry Krause and John Christgau, author of “ The Origins of the Jump Shot ” (1999), concluded that the purest form of the jump shot was pioneered by Mr. Sailors. Only he had a jump shot that today’s fans would recognize, as he leapt straight up, directly facing the basket, his elbow cocked at a 90-degree angle, followed by a delicate one-handed release of the ball. “What I found, ” Krause told, “was that a lot of guys shot some variation of a jump shot, a running shot off one foot or what have you. But Kenny’s shot is the shot we see today. Was he the first? I don’t think anyone could ever say that for certain. But what you can say, and I’m very comfortable saying this, is that Kenny was the first player to really develop the jump shot and use it consistently. The jump shot we see today is Kenny’s shot. ” Kenneth L. Sailors was born Jan. 14, 1921, in Bushnell, Neb. His father died at a young age, Mr. Sailors said, and he grew up with his mother, brother and sister near Hillsdale, in southeastern Wyoming. When his brother was offered a basketball scholarship to the University of Wyoming, the family moved to Laramie. In high school, Mr. Sailors was an all-state basketball player and also starred in football and track, winning the state championship in the long jump. He was an exceptional jumper, with a vertical leap of more than three feet, but many people were confused by his un?or?tho?dox style, and some coaches tried to get him to abandon the jump shot. But he knew that, at 5-feet-10, the only way he could stand out in basketball was to keep jumping. After Wyoming’s national championship season in 1943, Mr. Sailors spent two years as a Marine Corps officer during World War II. He returned for a final collegiate season in 1945-46, winning all-American honors again as he led Wyoming to a 22-4 record. He then played with seven teams during five years of professional basketball in the early days of the National Basketball Association. He had his finest season in 1949-50 with the original Denver Nuggets, averaging 17. 3 points a game. After his basketball career, Mr. Sailors lived near Jackson Hole, Wyo., where he had a ranch and a business as an outdoors guide. He served one term in the Wyoming legislature but was unsuccessful in several bids for Congress. In 1964, he moved to Alaska and lived in a log cabin 200 miles north of Anchorage, where he led hunting and fishing trips and coached basketball for more than 30 years. He later moved to Idaho before returning to Wyoming. His wife of 59 years, the former Marilynne Corbin, died in 2002. Two daughters also preceded him in death. Survivors include a son; eight grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild. In 2012, Mr. Sailors was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in Kansas City, Mo. but he has yet to gain admission to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., his sport’s foremost shrine. Knight and other experts consider his omission one of the most glaring injustices in basketball history.
