As far as will lifting help your game might not make a big difference but sure wont hurt it. If you work your legs that will help, practice balance and swift moving exercises two. -------------- Never be afraid to try something new. Remember the ark was built by amateurs, The Titanic was built by professionals.

It increases your bodies ability to use oxygen (stamina), makes your shot easier, and increases your size. Have you seen a professional or college game lately? Those guys are physical and very strong. If you hope to compete, you need every advantage you can get. Lifting gives you that. Basketball will not build huge muscles, you have to do that by moving iron. However, moving iron will improve you basketball game!
