Default wow....is this right?

well
u know how everyone says its bad to wear ankle weights when playing basketball or jumping cause it messes up your knees and stuff
well i always beleieved this
and i probably still do
but today i went to the basketball court and there was this kid there who can JUMP... i mean he was dunking like nothing, 360's, between the legs
he made it look EASYYYY..... and he was only 5-11
i asked him how the heck he jumps so high
and he said ankle weights
he doesnt actually fo a program or anything.... O.O

they just strap around his bottom foot and ankle so they dont move
he showed me them, he had three differnt weights, 5 and 10 lb

he said all he does is play with the 5 or10 lb waits, and just the fact hes jumping with the little extra weight when shooting or fgoing for layups it helps him jump higher
he also said that hes been using them for 2 years
and started out with 2 lb ones and when i asked if his knees hurt or anything he said no...

do u think his jumping had anything to do with the weights, or hes just a naturally high jumper
and do u think his knees are gonna hurt in the future
