Why is balance important in basketball?

Answer 1

Yes, balance is needed a little in Basketball because if you are taking a layup, if you don't have balance when you have one foot in the air, and one foot on the ground, then you will loose your balance and obviously not make the shot. Otherwise, probably not, focus is a big part of the game, though.
