So shall I do his dynamic stretching b4 every basketball session or no.

That's alot of stuff to do b4 basketball. For VJB plyos is ok but for basketball it seems alot to do. It is troublesome for NBA players to do that b4 every basketball session. Do they do similiar stuff like that for every basketball session or not?

If u know how to do them pls enlighten me on how to do this.

Ya stretching is very important to prevent injury and to improve flexibility which can also improve your vertical jump.

You should do either Dynamic stretching or Active Isolated Stretching(A.I.S).
A.I.S is like static stretching but you hold each stretch for 2 seconds and do 5-8 reps for each stretch.

I currently A.I.S. stretching and have benefited from in in my vertical jump! The choice is your to do either do Dynamic stretching or A.I.S.
