Chick Hearns, the late great Laker announcer came up with the term, and it stuck.....
FYI
Basketball was 1st invented using peach baskets, not cherry baskets.

Basketball is a game where a bunch of guys run around and throw a bouncy ball into a basket for an hour

Because when basketball was first invented it used cherry baskets and "cherry picking" is refering to that
