Basketball is very rough and I know because I have played for 7 years. We should have more protection on our legs and maybe our arms because we do fall a lot and have to defend which gets very physical. I mean some do where knew guards but I think it should be a requirement
you could fall when you get tossed up in the air and then there are the flips you could hurt your arms and then there are the people catching other people if they don't watch out they might hurt themselves and the person they are catching.
