A Finger Roll is a special type of layup shot in basketball.
The player rolls the ball off their fingertips towards the basket. This allows the ball to arc high over the defender's outstretched arms.
The shot is difficult to master and is not commonly used by players. George Gervin, a former NBA player, was known for making the finger roll his signature move. The finger roll requires a soft touch and precise timing to execute properly.
When done correctly, it can be an effective way to score in traffic. The shot is released close to the basket, making it harder to block.
