If this post isn't ironic in any way, you are now my idol.

Exactly, so if a player is further from the basket his shooting is more ineffective. Therefor if a player has a higher JR, his jump brings him closer to the net.

So that means he can jump. That's the point. You know that dunkers also jump to shoot, right?

How is that not at all? It says that a players shot is worse if their further from the net. And jump range brings you closer to the net. That's common sense lol.

It is getting pretty funny.

But as I said earlier, Dwight Howard doesn't jump far. He jumps high. Dunk contests are more about height than distance. I mean just look at last nights dunk contest.

Jump Range is the best thing we have to determine this. It's obvious just by looking at the name jump range. It's the range of the jump.

Do you see what I mean?

I'm not sure about reality because Basketball isn't my favourite sport, but as said by the nomenclature that you told me to look at:

A player with a higher jump range will find that the effectiveness of his jump shot decreases less with distance.


Which means the closer you are to the net (this can be with distance or height) the better you shoot. So you can JUMP. The name is jump range meaning that it's the range you can jump. So yes, jump range has to do with jumping.

P.S - It's not about winning or losing, it's about making an epic thread!
