People forgot the 82 games grind the player went through, if they don't tape their ankle and with the style the play almost every other day, chances of they wear out their ankle ligaments is pretty high.  Most of them wear out their knee instead though.

Maybe they have less developed calves and lower leg musculature than quads, and therefore feel their ankles more unstable than the knees, and therefore act in taping the ankles.

No, not really. One of the best things you can do for your jumping is to jump maximally all the time when you play... you start to "expect" jumping maximally and becomes more or less 2nd nature. At least, I think so. Because I'm too lazy to do it.

We are not saying not to jump maximally, just pick and choose the times, and pay attention to where you are when you do, where you will land.  Youre an idiot if you are playing a lot of basketball and dont acknowledge the risk of coming down on someones foot when jumping in GAME SITUATIONS, no matter how healthy and strong your ankles are, you come down on someones foot from a high enough level and its game over for you.  Bye bye training gains that you worked so hard for, bye bye season, and sometimes this can cost you your spot on the team.

 Test your ingenious theory out, go play 3-4 hours a day of competitive basketball, GO FUCKING NUTS jumping, as soon as you see a crowd under the rim, take off from outside the paint and just launch yourself into the lane.  Dont worry about where you land because you have good structure and mobility of the ankles.  When a shot goes up, JUMP MAXIMALLY STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR, stand as close as possible to all the others standing in the lane when you do it, again, dont worry about where you land due to your advanced ankle structure/mobility.  Come back to this thread in a month or so and report how it went.

Haha, sorry, but can't do. Heck, I look at the ground when I jump alone on the court, let alone in traffic. Hence I turn into a jumpshooter when I play ball, and I think that's a smart thing to do.

There are crazy people that penetrate a lot, jump a lot, get injured a lot, and then complain about their injuries.

I still don't get this VMO stuff. For a lot of time I thought the VMO is activated at the top of the squat movement (say 1/8 squat range). Then everybody was talking about how the VMO is actually activated with deep squats. Now, you (Andrew) say it would be stimulated by unracking, so that's the opposite of deep squatting. Not sure what to believe anymore.

Maybe she's in a competition or something...

So Nightfly is smart for jumping 8 inches on his rebound attempts? And being outrebounded at the same time? :P

That's not my problem, my problem is - don't you risk to injure your knees more by taping the ankles. I mean, if I had to choose between an ankle vs. knee injury, I'd choose ankle. So the question is - is this worth it? Do you win more by taping the ankles than what you lose in knee instability?

There are pirated copies of my awesomeness all around the world.

Weird... it's probably a structural thing in these situations (like having pronated feet and stuff like that) that "promotes" injuries. Otherwise, these people must have a really weak lower leg musculature.

Yeah, Fred Hatfield was exactly what I was thinking about when I wrote this. I don't think anybody knows if this would work or not because nobody tried to high-frequency do it.

You could do weighed crunches + supermans and that's it. Supermans are just back hyperextensions from the floor, with someone holding your legs.
