I think he's one of the best in the world right now. and the best thing is that he's underrated and unknown - I mean he's not famous like TFB dunkers or others

I have many and believe me or not but proper stretching did help me back after many injuries. jumper's knee, plantar fasciits, twisted ankle - I reduced my pain making stretching and ofcourse doing other exercises . But since I stretch every day I feel way better and my muscles feel less tired after really hard practises. I'm not saying that only stretching is helpful but with proper exercises it helps to be healthy again much quicker

How do you know you don't need it? Your knee pain may be caused by more than just weak VMO's, as was the case for me. Just test it out -- foam roll and stretch the IT bands for one day. If your knee feels better after it, then you know your pain may ALSO be caused (to some extent) by tight/overactive IT bands.


My story with jumpers knee looks like that: I got pain, play couple of games and made break but after 2weaks pain came back. then I went to physiotherapeutist and had knee tapping, ESWT , a lot of stretching and this exercises about which I did mention earlier. After that I had no pain anymore till the early start of the season ( so it was about after 6 months after recovering of my jumpers knee) and it wasn't even pain like jumpers knee, just small pain, maybe I was just too tired after gym and jumping+bball practises. But it wasn't hurt me and I could practise easily, but I used knee strap to be just safety :) and it was pain more like osgood schlatter than jumpers knee. So even if I feel any pain I know exactly what to do. regular stretching help me a lot and sometimes just simple squats+lunges and max. 2 weeks and I'm free of pain

I didn't do It band rolling, but I don't think I need this. my exercises helped me to built enaugh strength to no feel pain. Even when I feel a little bit I'm using knee strap and bodyweight squats with the ball between the legs with thera-band exercise and normal lunges and with using unstable ground help me reduce small pain :) 
I red a lot and many people said that this it band stretch did help them so this looks interesting. But as I said- don't need this but thanks for tips :)

thanks Chris. This year I worked a lot under my dynamics and I think it's good.  but im still looking for some power. last year before my injuries I had a lot of power but I was not dynamic as much. So I'm hope that after 2 months of gym workout I'd be able to jump higher

and Raptor- earlier I jumped off 1 leg much more, but I had very often weak jumps like empty jumps, I didn't feel that I'm using enaugh power and before I was close to the rim I knew that this jump is shitty. thats one of the reasons why I finished with my jumps off 1 leg, but I can still jump pretty high off 1 feet. I'll make jumps off right and left leg to show you how it looks like. But it's not dynamic as off 2 legs I guess

I did squat in my life for only 5-6 months and I have that development. isn't that a little bit weird? I'm physically very active but I never focused on my legs since knee injury.  and you guys are squatting for many years and your legs are on different level. could this be maybe genetic or something?

hips are working too that's ok. but if you have straight leg and you do this exercise proper it works with VMO. you can do that also lying on the floor. believe me or not but this helped me a lot to reduce my jumpers knee pain. you can do that also holding something, wall or something and then your hips are working less

yeah I watched this and it gave me some new infos. I will work on my hips too because as you see I'm more knee athletes and especially off the dribble I bent my knees so much

thanks for this tip Kingfish - that might be helpful.  it's not possible to do with every dunk but I'll try this for sure next time, but right now I'm doing some break because I'm back at the gym. today I squat 100kg 5 times in last series with a little trouble so my power isn't as good as I thought. and Raptorel - speaking about my posterior chain and abs- I think my abs are strong  really , I have couple of pictures too, I work with my abwheel and usually when I'm working at the gym I do couple of exercises for my posterior chain but it's not priority so maybe you're right. About 3 years ago I was focusing on deadlift to and I did lift 135kg two times. I could increase my power in this muscles too but right now i'm focusing on the squat and maybe I'll add some dynamic exercises too like power clean, hang clean, jump shrug

I can't find any video. But band is just over ankle. and you have to pull your straight leg to the middle with upturned toes and you have to feel pressure of band
