Basketball gets you in shape from running up and down a court for four 6-10 minutes quarters, which end up being longer than that because of fouls and time outs. Basketball training and practice also gets you in shape from stretching and other works outs. Not only does the sport help physically, but it helps mentally too. It teaches you to listen and take directions from your coach will help later on in life with bosses of your job, possibly. It teaches you to work with a team and other people as well, which comes in handy as far as jobs go as well. A lot of benefits come from playing this sport.

Many things are required of an NBA basketball player

Agility and Speed are vital, but an NBA basketball player is not what one would imagine, one does not have to be tall to be a basketball player, just look at Spudd Webb and Nate Robinson ranging from 5'5 to 5'9

one must be durable and consistent, to be an NBA player you must be consistent with shots you don't have to make all of them but anything above 60% would be better

another thing that is important is to never give up and to keep your head up, even when your down 24 to 0

the last thing that is required is to have heart

an NBA player has to love his coaches and his teammates otherwise you will never win a game!
