No, “skate” is not a common basketball term. It is generally associated with skating sports like skateboarding or ice skating. However, if you’re hearing “skate” in a basketball context, it could be a miscommunication or slang used by specific players or in certain regions. It might also be mistakenly used in reference to a “skate” move or action that could resemble quick or slippery footwork, but that’s not an established term in basketball.
