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?

Right, but Jump Range doesn't have anything to do with how you jump, it is an evaluation of how you shoot. It differentiates the players who can shoot well from close distance only from the players who can shoot well from close and far.

J.J. Reddick is the first guy who comes to mind who is an example of good Jump Shot and good Jump Range. And, athletically speaking, he cannot jump at all.

edit: You got me to play along this far. You win.

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!

Do you actually think so?

Just look at it. The definition for jump range is:

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


So the closer to the net, the better the shot. And how do you get closer? By jumping.

And you know what. Shoei also suggested jump range. And he's an Australian division 1 member. So if I'm crazy so is he lol.
