Absolutely. The reason for wearing an athletic supporter in any sport is to keep the genitals close to the body and immobile, thus preventing injury. In Basketball especially, if you are not wearing a jock you will experience much flopping around. This is very uncomfortable. I play basketball several times a week. The vast majority of the guys I play with wear an athletic supporter, and I know that because we get dressed together in the locker room. Jocks, by the way, do not cause jock itch... and if you have never worn one you will be amazed how much more comfortable playing ball is when you've got it on..
