How can I increase stamina for basketball?

I'm not trying to be cocky or what but in I raced with my friends who have most speed %26amp; stamina in running, cross country, biking %26amp; swimming and I got at worst the 3rd place. But when it comes to play basketball, defending an amature %26amp; making just one accurate jumpshot already tires me.

How can I increase stamina for basketball?
Do suicides.





Start at one baseline. Run as fast you can to the first free throw line, then back to original baseline. Run to the halfcourt line, then back. Run to the opposite free throw line, then back. Run to the opposite baseline, then back. That's 1 suicide for you. Repeat. Do several sets of those until you puke.

Reply:For me what works is treadmill as fast as the treadmill can go, doing it everyday. For me 14km per hour for 2 kilometers.


Some bike then push ups and followed by light weights! Try ankle weights
