First, if you actually had to look this up you either have an IQ lower than Forrest Gump, or you are under 3 years of age. A missed shot in Basketball is a shot that did not go into the basket, or for you people that had to look this question up, the circular round thing in the middle of the bottom of the square that are on each end of the court.
