OT - Basketball gear help (Knee/Ankle support) 

Post#1 » by Slava » Sun Feb 14, 2010 7:16 am

I'm looking for knee and ankle support. I play basketball close to 3 times a week and I'm a decent leaper which puts quite a bit of strain on my knees and ankle.

I'd been looking at what Nike has and so far found these three.

and found similar ones under armour. Adidas seems more likely to sell fancy apparel than real equipment so I can't find any gear from them.

So what would you guys use & recommend?

Well the idea is to have quick lateral movement without sprain and I have never used any of these but now that I'm playing very regularly with good players, I think these could be good insurance.
