The crossword clue "Old-fashioned basketball attempts" featured in the New York Times puzzle refers to the term "SETSHOTS." A set shot is a type of basketball shot where the player shoots the ball from a stationary position, often without jumping. This technique was commonly used in the earlier days of basketball before the jump shot became prevalent.
Unlike modern shooting styles, set shots relied heavily on precision and stability, as players would plant their feet firmly on the ground and use their upper body strength to propel the ball towards the hoop. The term "old-fashioned" aptly describes set shots, as they have largely fallen out of favor in contemporary basketball, replaced by more dynamic and versatile shooting methods.
