Should I play basketball in tennis shoes?
It really is ok to play in tennis shoes if they have good support. thats really all that matters, becuase with good suporrt you avoid shin splints and flat feet which slow you down and are painful. but the disadvantage of tennis shoes is that they dont have the specialized grip for the court on the bottom such as basketball shoes do. another factor that you may like is the looks of the shoe. if your going for that,, basketball shoes such as jordans or T-macs or the kobes will be great and make sure ppl take a double look. but all that matters most is the support. you can also buy shoe inserts for that

Reply:no should wear basketball shoes because they are specialized for b-ball and tennis shoes are specialized for tennis so wear b -ball shoes
Reply:I recommend basketball shoes as well, mainly because tennis shoes don't give you the ankle support you need when you are playing basketball. One false step or cross- over and you can twist your ankle. And you don't want that to happen, do you?
