ANGELO-GIUSEPPI "HANK" LUISETTI (June 16, 1916 – December 17, 2002) was an American college men's basketball player. He is considered to be one of the great innovators of the sport. In an era that featured the traditional two-handed set shot, Luisetti developed the running one-handed shot, an early version of the jump shot. Equipped with such an offensive weapon, Luisetti became one of the most dominant players in American college basketball history. While at Stanford, he joined Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Luisetti was named the second-best player of the mid-century (behind George Mikan) by an Associated Press poll of sportswriters and broadcasters in 1950. Luisetti is often credited with inventing the jump shot, although others were doing it during the 1930s as well. He was an all-around player, whose play and shooting were exciting. "Hank could take over a game like Michael Jordan if he had to," said former Stanford teammate Don Williams. "He was an absolute artist on the basketball court." He was the first player to ever score 50 in a game. For 12 consecutive seasons, in every league - from first year in high school to his final season in the service leagues of World War II - Luisetti either won a championship or played in the final game of a championship. He was inducted into the College Basketball Hall of Fame as well as the Basketball Hall of Fame, even though he never played in the NBA.
