Training it properly will increase your vertical jump, give you a quicker first step, make you tougher to guard and improve your speed sprinting up the court.

After this episode you'll have a better understanding of HOW to train this muscle group, WHAT rep ranges work best, WHY you need to train this muscle group correctly and more.
