ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: importance of ankle flexibility

Would you hold that stretched position under weight (actively) or just maintain that stretched position without necessarily having weight on?
I guess since you said "calf raise" you also meant "under weight".

Kelly was recommending every day stretching for the calves... he said they tend to respond very well to this.
IMO, if you have posture issues (anterior/posterior pelvic tilt, thoracic mobility issues etc) it's a good idea to do it daily. I'm too lazy to do it though.

Put in obstacles and pretend they are defenders and dribble around them using different moves (spins, behind the backs, crossovers etc).

I was about to say about Z-Bo but... he isn't exactly "moving around gracefully" 
He just has footwork in a 3 feet area or something.

Andre Miller might not be the most explosive guy in the world but he sure moves around the court pretty well.

Years and years is pushing it too far.
That fluidness you talk about is a function of strength, structure, posture and movement efficiency. You can affect strength, posture and movement efficiency, and you're left with your genetic predetermined structure. Improving 3 out of 4 will still get you far in that department of "fluidity".
It's also thought that these people have great core strength, but in reality they have great SYSTEMIC strength or OVERALL strength. It's similar with people with big upperbodies... some guys just say that big upperbody makes them jump higher "oh look at the guns on that guy" but in reality... it's just how they're genetically made up in their ENTIRE BODY (including legs).
At the other end of the spectrum there's the upperbody-obsessed bodybuilders which don't... well let's just say they don't move very well.

Yup, they determine neural plasticity and rewiring so... that's the idea. Obviously you want to perform the optimal movement patterns every time since you want the optimal moving patterns to occur without you thinking about it (and without developing bad habits).
That's why in jumping there is such a thing as submaximal jumping initially.
