Who invented the jump shot?

I always figured the jump shot in basketball was just something that's always been part of the game, and just came about naturally. I was wrong. It turns out the shot was developed by a guy named Kenny Sailors, and you can hear the 87-year-old talk about it on Story Corps.

Listen here, or download on itunes. The itunes release date was 6/10/11.
