A Swish in basketball is a shot that goes into the basket without hitting or touching the backboard and the rim. It only touches the net of the basket, which usually creates a “swishing” sound, hence the name.
It is also sometimes called a ‘Swisher’.
Example of Use:
- Draymond Greens’ swish put the Golden State Warriors up 16 with just 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
