Hello all...new to the forum and all that . Ive been trying to find some more specific info on jump stops . Ive read all the stuff I can find on here but Ive seen no mention of how you make the jump stop . I understand the rules and prinicple of the move but recently Ive been incorporating it more into my game and frequently people have tried to call me on traveling . If one is making an aggressive move to the basket with the ball(dribbling of course), picks up the ball while jumping, lands on both feet and then jumps again to shoot...does it matter how high/far one jumps before the landing ? Ive seen no rules listed here or on official rules sites like the NBAs covering that . Im no Michael Jordan in his prime but I can jump fairly well and my jump stops definitely gives me an advantage since by the time I jump past someone and then jump up again Im normally wide open . Ive been told youre only able to jump about 5 - 6 inches high off the ground during the move(before the landing and jump to shoot/pass the ball) but Ive been playing/watching basketball for years and have yet to see a rule concerning this particular part of the move . Im not one to try and cheat so I wanted to get it cleared up because if its a fair move you better believe I'll keep doing it ( as they say...if it aint broke...dont fix it ) . Thanks for the help in advance...
