Released in 2003, the LEGO Sports Basketball Jump and Shoot set (3550) captures the fast-paced excitement of street-style basketball in a compact, action-focused build. Part of the early 2000s LEGO Sports Basketball subtheme, this set delivers instant play with a clever shooting function, an iconic orange basketball element, and a distinctive minifigure designed specifically for the game. Its small piece count makes it quick to assemble while still offering dynamic movement and replayable action.
At the heart of the set is a basketball play mechanism that encourages timing, aim, and imagination. Unlike many other LEGO Basketball figures of the era, the included minifigure does not use spring-loaded legs, giving it a unique feel and making this version especially appealing to collectors. The streamlined design allows for easy setup, spontaneous play sessions, and seamless integration with other LEGO Sports Basketball builds.
With its promotional Kabaya variation (3550-2) and limited release era, Jump and Shoot stands out as a nostalgic snapshot of LEGO’s early sports experimentation. Whether displayed as part of a vintage LEGO collection or enjoyed for quick basketball challenges, this set blends simplicity, charm, and collectible appeal in one compact package.
