a dunk is a shot

when people talk about a player's shooting ability they are not talking about dunks or layups

I would say that many players demonstrate incredible shooting ability on contested driving layups. Steph's creativity, body control and ball control on some of his layups consistently astound me.

Layups also aren't dunks

ciderpress brought up the idea that layups were excluded from shooting ability. I just responded to that.
