Depending on how intense the game and competitor, all energy systems are used in basketball (ATP - PC, Lactic Acid and Oxygen systems). The Oxygen system would probably dominate in a slower, more controlled game of basketball (possibly NBA) but the ATP-PC system (with some assistance from the Lactic Acid system) would probably dominate in a faster, more aggressive game (NCAA or college ball) where the players would need to recover either by playing predominantly either offense or defense (but not both) and / or subbing off and on the court during the game.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

The dominant energy system in Basketball is the anaerobic system, particularly the lactic acid system. This system provides energy for high-intensity activities such as sprinting, jumping, and quick movements during the game. Players rely on this system for short bursts of energy lasting up to a few minutes.
