Basketball makes you a better athlete by increasing your stamina, running ability, strength, and agility. It will also help your vertical leap (jumping ability). Basktball also helps your heart, by increasing your heart rate in spurts. As you are playing hard, moving in a direction, going on a fast break, you are breathing hard, so your heart rate increases. Then the ball goes out play, your heart rate decreases, you catch your breath, then there you go again, ready to move, so your heart rate increases. So playing basketball is heart healthy, as it affects your heart rate. As the intensity of the game increases, so does your heart rate, giving your heart a good workout.
Also, if he wants to get into muscular health, basketball improves what is called "muscle" memory. The longer you play, your muscles adjust how to perform the mechanics of the game, how to shoot, how to dribble, how to cross-over, how to play defense, etc.
Not as related to muscle memory, but in a way it is. There is something called "touch." This also has to do with a combination of muscle memory and hand-eye coordination. In strictly basketball "touch" tells how much each muscle has to work for each shot. For instance, your legs and arms would not work as hard on an easy layup as they would on a three-point shot. Also you would not shoot a lay-up as hard or in the same form as a jump-shot.
Basketball is good for you because you run up and down a court trying to score in the basket and trying to get around 5 defenders and sometimes your own teammates. Then after you make the basket, or you miss and the other team gets the rebound, you have to play defense and prevent the other team from scoring. You can also steal the ball and go on a fastbreak, and then you are going as fast as you possibly can to keep the defense away from catching you and blocking your shot.
Basketball is good for our bodies because it helps us get excercise, and keeps us fit. Basketball also strengthens our hand eye coordination. And (my favorite reason), it helps us get all of our anger out when passing the ball to someone or shooting a hoop (Kiera Knightley swished into the net with a BANG!!). :0)
