Anyone have any insight as to the history of the jump stop rule so I can ejumacate this dude?

Thanks.

It was invented by a fella named Diebler.
(Using phrases like "so I can ejumacate this dude" will only lead to further name calling and suspicion).

I invented the Jump Stop in 1990. I'm sick of everyone else taking credit for this move! If these young kids could shoot a pull-up jumper, outside shot and do the jump stop they would be something else.
