You win. That one is clearly the worst.

Most players begin the act of shooting while they are still in contact with the floor, so saying "on the floor" doesn't distinguish whether the player was in act of shooting or not. It is a pointless comment which communicates no real information.
Think about these two things:
What if a player takes a set shot instead of a jump shot?
If a player jumps into the air and then is fouled while passing the ball, do you say "in the air?"
It doesn't matter where the player was. It only matters what he was doing.
