Never seen you dunk on that court before...
ya it's my fav court when it rains.. it's finally re-opened, been closed all summer because of a daycare basketball camp.

Anyways, adarq, on my SLRVJ I feel some collapsing on the ankle in the plant. To remedy this, does it just come down to strengthening my calves (calf raises) ??
you have to strengthen them maximally & dynamically.. maximally would be things like double & single leg standing calf raises + seated calve raises + various inversion/eversion strengthening exercises with tubing or just by itself..
dynamic strength would be stuff like single/double leg line hops for speed, single leg balance board, sprints, and all types of low level reactive work such as lateral barrier jumps, pogos, mr halftucks etc.

Also, is there a way to get "stiffer ankles"?
Thanks.
the stuff above is a start and will help to give you stiffer ankles, eventually once you make alot of progress with the basics, you could then graduate to single/double leg bounds, depth jumps, etc.
