What muscles should you work out if you are a small forward?

All of them. You have to run. You have to jump. You have to have the upper body strength to muscle up to big and bigger guys. You need to have strong hands and arms, too. There is a balance, and you need to apply a wide variety of exercises to your routine to avoid "leaving yourself short" in an area. Best advice is to get some sort of "comparative" physical assessment from a basketball coach who can tell you how fast you are, how well you move, how good your vertical is and all that. Then target the "weak" areas to muscle up in a way to help improve that. And don't forget your flexibility. If you cannot hold your fingertips on the floor and perform well in some other standard tests of flexibility, you are not flexible enough. Flexibility needs to precede strength training, and follow along with it into the workout room so it can be maintained. Flexibility adds elegance to your movement, and it reduces the probability that you will be injured in activities. It also awards you a general reduction in the severity of injury if that unfortunate event befalls you. Good luck.

Do you think that Stephen Curry will be at least a 20 ppg and 40 percent 3pt shooter in his rookie year with the Golden State Warriors?

Probably not. Nellie always takes a while to play rookies and the Warriors have a lot of other options to score. Randolph is gonna get his points, Monta is gonna get his points, and Jackson likes to take a lot of shots. He does have a chance of shooting 40% from the 3point line though. I think his most important stats will be assists and steals. If he can contribute on defense and be unselfish with the ball he can earn his way into the starting lineup.

When has a girls basketball team ever beaten a boys team?

In 1997, the 8th Grade Boys of Politz Hebrew Academy in Greater Philadelphia organized a basketball team and opened play at home against the 6th grade girls of Maternity BVM RC Church...and promptly lost to the younger ladies, 59-45. It was the only basketball game in Politz' long, sad history, but it went to prove the old adage that all Jews are wimps and suck at sports. Those young Christian girls really junked us that night...

Is Micheal Jordan returning to basketball this season?

What do you mean "returning"? He's the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, so he's not exactly "away".

He's extremely unlikely to return as a player, since he's pushing fifty and was forced into his (third!) retirement several years ago due to torn cartilage in his knee.
