release
The moment you let go of the shot; also the upper-body animation in a custom jumpshot.
The moment you let go of the shoot button or finish the stick movement. Release timing is what the game grades as green, early or late.
Release also names part of the animation. A custom jumpshot is built from a base and one or two release animations; see jumpshot base / release.
