    what do you consider normal shoes?

    basketball shoes are made for basketball, lol.
    the running, dribbling, jumps, etc.

    Sometimes, basketball shoes are modified to weigh less, grip better, and feel comfortable.

    Normal shoes will not do you any excellent.

    The weight and grip is no excellent.

    You WON’T be playing your best without exceptional gear.

    You can wear normal athletic shoes but it would be better to get basketball shoes, they have higher tops and you would be less likely to be injured because they will support your ankles.

    basketball shoes go owing to a shamanistic ceremony before they are shipped out to the supplies. all owing to said ceremony witchdoctors trip peyote and pray for the wearer of the shoe to “flima lika meeka”, or glide like mike.
    this has been going on for many years and is taken quite serious in some circles.
    be careful with these magic shoes.

    the comfort

    you certainly need basketball shoes. it keeps you from turning an ankle they are comfortable, and it gets way better traction

    You need basketball shoes, because they are made to help with jumping, shooting, etc. and i’m sure the coach would appreciate it.

    well you can just grab some of your regular athletic shoes with some excellent grips for first and then if you make the team and its like mine then you guys will need to pay a lil and then u all get team shoes
