NBA shot distance data for ranges in 5ft intervals thanks to the NBA API. Data used was the average of each team per season, with the values being per game.
This type of data was first recorded for season 1996-97 and includes up to the all-star break for the 2020-21 NBA season.
The range intervals are:
- 5ft and less
- 5 to 9ft
- 10 to 14ft
- 15 to 19ft
- 20 to 24ft
- 25 to 29ft
- 30 to 34ft
