Est. 2023 Ā· Head-to-Head Points
A simulation, labelled as one: a projectile model of a basketball shot and a drive, drawn live on the canvas. Gravity is 9.81 m/sĀ², the rim sits at 3.05 m (10 ft) and 17.3 m is not involved ā the shooter stands where the slider puts him. Adjust the biomechanical dials ā release angle, release velocity, jump height (which sets release height) and player speed on the drive ā and watch the outcome change. It models physics, not any real player's shot; no real player's mechanics are claimed or copied.
Pick a player and the Arena loads his interactive card ā verified bio and his 2026ā27 line ā and drives the simulation from his verified numbers: his release height is built from his measured height, and the drive readout weighs his momentum with his verified weight. It models physics FROM his measurements; it does not measure or copy his real shot, and every output stays labelled a simulation with its inputs shown. 249 board players carry a verified measured height and are offered; a player without one is not listed rather than estimated.
Generic shooter: release height is the dialled jump on a 1.95 m base release ā no player loaded.

Drive readout: at the speed dialled in, the drive from the top of the arc (about 7.5 m of court) to the rim takes the time shown under the canvas ā hang time on the shot comes from the jump dial plus the ball's own flight. Change a dial mid-flight and release again: the arena re-simulates instantly.
