How does basketball improve health?
Basketball makes you a better athlete by increasing your stamina, running ability, strength, and agility. It will also help your vertical leap (jumping ability). Basktball also helps your heart, by increasing your heart rate in spurts. As you are playing hard, moving in a direction, going on a fast break, you are breathing hard, so your heart rate increases. Then the ball goes out play, your heart rate decreases, you catch your breath, then there you go again, ready to move, so your heart rate increases. So playing basketball is heart healthy, as it affects your heart rate. As the intensity of the game increases, so does your heart rate, giving your heart a good workout.
Also, if he wants to get into muscular health, basketball improves what is called "muscle" memory. The longer you play, your muscles adjust how to perform the mechanics of the game, how to shoot, how to dribble, how to cross-over, how to play defense, etc.
Not as related to muscle memory, but in a way it is. There is something called "touch." This also has to do with a combination of muscle memory and hand-eye coordination. In strictly basketball "touch" tells how much each muscle has to work for each shot. For instance, your legs and arms would not work as hard on an easy layup as they would on a three-point shot. Also you would not shoot a lay-up as hard or in the same form as a jump-shot.

Why is creating space important in a basketball game?
Space is crucial in netball. If the space is clogged up, you struggle to make successful leads, and it is easy for the defending tem to take intercepts.
Attacking shooters will often set screens, this stops the defending from being able to contect the ball and allows the shooter to move in the space. This helps to open up the court.
A specific style of defence to cut up the space is called a zone. Instead of defending on the player, you defend the space. This is to try and force the attacking team to throw across court and high balls, it is then easy for the defending team to read the ball and has time to move their feet and take intercepts.
New Zealand are wll known for their use of the Zone defence.
Where can one purchase a used Jordan basketball?
Air Jordans are sold everywhere, Footlocker, Finishline, Shek, Underground Station, Niketown and many more places. BEWARE OF FAKE JORDANS!!! If you see a price for jordans that are only 60 dollars and are brand new they could be fake or if a person from a small business is selling them they could be real because the person selling them could buy them in huge quantities. Also watch out for fake colorways if you don't want to get clowned on, stick to the red and black colorways, if you see some lime green and yellow jordans then those are way fake. hope this helped
