Can't get over that dunk, in my list it is #1 , tied with the MJ over Ewing one.
that probably wasn't even vince's prime in terms of ups. his early toronto days were.
Those WERE his early Toronto days. The 2000 Olympics was after his 2nd year in the league.
Vince was actually training with a football friend back then. Goes to show the difference between football and basketball prehab training, I guess

I have pretty much always played basketball in running shoes and never had any ankle sprain in my life. Pretty much the opposite - I had a few moments when I stepped on someone else's foot but my shoes would just deform over the other person's shoe and my foot would not take the blunt of the shot.
Other than that, if you're an idiot and take stupid risks jumping over three people, then it's going to happen no matter what. Just take care.
If anything, I'd rather be afraid for my knees playing in non-responsive, rigid basketball shoes that take the function of the foot away from you and overload the quad and the knee.

Yes ^^^
They go hand in hand. Bad feet generate anterior pelvic tilt and back problems, and tight hip flexors and spinal erectors can alter the function of the feet as well.

Definitely. I like my shoe to look cool, if I'm paying all that money for it in the first place. If I make ~400$ per month, then I want my shoes to look cool and give me performance as well if I'm to pay 1/4 of my salary on them.

Well, if you do have a tendency of arch loss or just issues with your feet that add up over time, it certainly can make the back adjust and have it take over some pressure that adds up over time. Who knows.
My point is to look somewhere else than the back itself and see if you can find anything.

I wouldn't be shocked if the back injury has something to do with your feet.

I ordered these:

They'll be here in a week or so (ordered them last week), and I'll report on how they feel.

Try doing some side planks before sprinting, like 2x30s each side and see if you walk and run differently after them.

It's just one of the reasons I want people to run and sprint so much - it trains the hip hyperextension at high frequency, volume and intensity, and it dynamically stretches the hip flexors.
I can't think of a better way to become glute dominant.

And on the hyperextension thing he was actually doing HIP extensions, not "back" extensions. Just like what you see your regular Joe in the gym do.
But yeah... just terrible crap. I wonder if that's truly how he trains. If it is... imagine where these guys would be with actual proper training (remember the Usain Bolt reverse bicep curl power clean video?)
