Is it good drinking a protein shake before going to bed?
while sleeping, we stay without food for at least 8 hours and our body gets in a catabolic stage...so it is important that before bed we give some protein to our body..but it is better that the protein is not fast absorbed but slowly absorbed so we have amino-acids through our body during the whole night and not the first 2-3 hours(that's how long takes for whey to be absorbed)...if your protein shake is with casein protein then it's ok..or you can better have some cottage cheese that also contains casein(slowly absorbed protein)...

Does weight lifting effect your basketball shot?
It could, this depends on you individually. If you are lifting light weight high reps because you are trying to get tone, probably not. If you are lifting heavy and maxing out every other week, very well could. I had a friend who messed up his shot because his shoulders got too big and he couldn't keep good form. Also lifting heavy effects more then just your muscles. It puts stress on joints, ligaments, and all that other good stuff. So if you are lifting heavy and are worried about messing up your shot, making sure you are careful and always take rest days. As far as your shoulders getting to big, well that's hilarious. And in my opinion, a good joke is better then a good basketball shot anyday.
How can you replace bench press if you don't have a bench?
Simple push ups essentially work the same muscle group as the bench press. If you need more weight for the exercise, you can elevate your feet while doing the push ups on a chair or ottoman, or if you feel really strong you can balance your body vertically on the wall upside down and press yourself up and off the floor vertically. Any other arm exercises in combination with push-ups will help build your upper body evenly. You can do dips using a chair and stool. Curls with a heavy household item. Just stay creative, stretch, eat healthy, incorporate cardio and warm up, and always use safety.
