The NBA rule

Section XI—Field Goal Attempt
A field goal attempt is a player’s attempt
to shoot the ball into his basket for a
field goal.The act of shooting starts
when, in the official’s judgment, the
player has started his shooting motion
and continues until the shooting motion
ceases and he returns to a normal floor
position. It is not essential that the ball
leave the shooter’s hand. His arm(s)
might be held so that he cannot actually
make an attempt.
