Whether you mean jump stop:
A) The player gathers the ball on 1 foot and hops to land on two.
B) Player hops and gathers the ball to land on two.
The distance travelled in the hop is irrelevant it just makes it a tougher move to defend (because of the correlation to the agility and athleticism needed to execute it legally).
Without getting back into it, I think this board has discussed many times the difficulties and inconsistencies in travel calls.
