The Inside Hoop
While you're getting your brackets set, try any of these plyometric moves to improve your basketball game

Leap Like Lebron. In a recent study, Marquette University researchers surveyed 20 NBA strength-and-conditioning coaches and found that they all use plyometric training -- explosive power movements -- with their athletes. To improve your game, try any of these plyometric moves two or three times a week, courtesy of Aaron Nelson, M.S., C.S.C.S., head athletic trainer for the Phoenix Suns. Do two sets of five to 10 repetitions, resting for 60 seconds between sets.
Front Box Jump
Stand facing a bench or a sturdy box (use one 12 inches high to start, and work your way up to taller boxes). Jump onto it with both feet, landing softly with your knees slightly bent. Step down and repeat.
Side Box Jump
This time stand with the box or bench at your left side so you jump onto it laterally. Land softly, step down, and repeat. Perform the second set with the box at your right.
Medicine-Ball Chest Pass
Stand facing a wall or a workout partner and hold a medicine ball with both hands at your chest. With your feet staggered, forcefully toss the ball forward. Catch the rebound or return pass and repeat.
Box Jump With Medicine-Ball Pass
Same as the front box jump, but hold a medicine ball in front of your chest. After you land on the box or bench and stabilize yourself, deliver a chest pass to a partner or against a wall.

Still workin' on that book by Jerry Reynold's ... I actually like it. I know more today about the King's organization, Jerry Reynolds, some ex-King's players .... and a bunch of other things. It's actually pretty interesting.
I mean, it's no War and Peace, or Godfather .... but, it's entertaining.
