The Pectoralis muscles (major and minor), Anterior Deltoids, and the Triceps are 'major players' in a push-up motion.

Well get a rope ladder and lay it on the ground, then go down the ladder stepping in and out of the holes. do this up and down 5 times, 3 sets. Lunges will help ur power to the rim and in itself will surprise defenders. dribbling, just dribble around ur block and do one arm dribbling drills like going around each leg with one arm for 5 minutes a piece. these alone should greatly improve ur foot work and agility. shooting, shoot free throws after ur tired, this will better prepare u for free throws during a game. goodluck!

Start running a lot. I mean like 2 miles like 5 times a week. You need conditioning first. Then between your runs you could do Mikan drills. http://www.hoopsu.com/files/mikan_drills.html These drills will help hone your offensive skills. Also practice mid range shots more than any other shot. Three point shots are fun to do, but limit practicing it. Your brother should be strict because coaches are that way. Also work on your side to side movement, the quicker your side to side movement is, the better defender you'll be. For tryouts though, endurance is critical, thats why you need to condition yourself with running. You should also lift weights a few times per week if you can. It is not imminent you do that, but it would help. Then you should also study offenses. Most teams run a variation of the Motion offense. There are so many sets for the motion offense though, just try to learn it before you get to the coaches.

Start by standing on a box, or bleacher steps, preferably with another box or platform a few feet in front of you.  Jump off and when you land on the floor, immediately jump up again onto the box or platform.\nThis essentially "pre-loads" your calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus muscles).\nIt's called "plyometrics".  Easy does it at first!\nLook on the web for more plyometric exercises.\nGood luck on your future dunks!

I've never heard of a baseball player having a 42 inch vertical jump. Many college and pro basketball players have that type of vertical. I think you have to be more athletic to play basketball than baseball. I've seen many very overweight baseball players, but you dont see overweight basketball players. Shaquille O'neal is heavy, but he is listed as only having 11% body fat. Basketball players overall can jump much better, but there are some baseball players that jump well.

the positions are:\n\ncenter, usually the biggest guy gets alot of rebounds,blocks and takes the tip, stays under hoop(think of shaquille oneal)\n\npower forward, similar to center, except usually better at ball handling, more agile, stands down close to the basket but also can be far enough as 10 ft along the baseline usually\n\nsmall forward, usually a semi big guy but can also shoot well most all round player on the court, stays on perimeter of 3 pt line and usually cuts toward basket\n\nshoot guard, small player who scores alot and shoots threes, stays at top of 3 pt line and cuts towards the sides for a three\n\npoint guard, who dribbles the ball upcourt and gets alot of assists, can be good at scoring and threes but main purpose is to call plays and pass, also at top of 3 pt line but dribbles all around until people get open\n\nin many college teams there are 3 guards and 2 forwards, but not very often in the NBA, also there are 12 men on a NBA roster, sometimes the guards can be called the 1 and 2 guards, the 1 is point and 2 is shooting\n\na swingman, such as kobe bryant or tracy mcgrady can play either small forward or shooting guard
