I heard it on a song from High School Musical. Seems to be a basketball expression. What does it mean?

It means shooting a jump shot from 3 point range or least out past the free throw line.

These are the same people who don't realize that the "right" to marry for love is actually a recent historical phenomenon. Using the vows under the eyes of god was meant to keep people in an arranged, and usually loveless marriage faithful to each other. They also don't realize that in the 1870s 95% of marriages were done in a church, under the eyes of god, but 1 in 14 of those marriages ended in divorce; in the western US during that time, laws had to be created regarding abandonment - for the spouses that left and never came back . that's not reflected in divorce rates, because there never was a divorce granted - just papers of abandonment after 5 years, then 3 years. is walking away and abandoning the family better? Not in my book. Your marriage is based in love - and if it is a true love, such as your is, Grit, then it will withstand time, age, illness - all tha hardships of life. MY marriage - my wedding - was purely secular - and we've survived hard times and good times without it wavering. THAT is far from meaningless.

It means to shoot a jump shot outside the 3-point ark situtated approximately 24 feet away from the net. It is indeed a basketball term.
