English term or phrase: off the glass
Jordan. Steal, he kept it in bounds, here it is again. Oh! Yes! You'll see him elevate, do a three-sixty and just toss it up. Pippen, finds Jordan, there it is. Rodman is on him, one-on-one. Five seconds to go, Jordan, off the glass. Yes! It's over. Chicago wins.


“off the window” or “off the glass” = a shot off the backboard, a bank shot. “shooting from long distance” = shooting a 3 point shot. “crossed him up” = that player did a crossover on the defender and faked him out.

neutral  Bernd Albrecht: Bist Du 100% sicher, dass der Ball von Jordan drin war? Auch möglich: Jordan wirft, der Ball prallt vom Brett zurück ins Feld, die Sirene ertönt und das Spiel ist aus. Aus! Aus! Das Spiel ist aus - wie das legendäre Endspiel der Fußball-WM 1954 in Bern

  -> Ja, eigentlich schon. Er war ja Spieler der Chicago Bulls und die scheinen in diesem Fall (dank seines Treffers) gewonnen zu haben.
agree  Thomas Pfann: auf EN auch „off the backboard“ und „bank shot“
