Answer:

When taking a jump shot, landing is the most important part with regard to injury. If your legs are straight and your knees are locked, you’ll damage your knees and lower back from hitting the floor. If you land on only one foot, that foot has to support twice the amount of weight as when you land on two feet. That’s why you try to land on two feet. If you’re off balance when you land, there’s a chance that you could roll or twist an ankle. Keeping your weight evenly over your legs and feet becomes important. Also, you should watch where you land. If you land on something, like another player’s foot, that could spell trouble.

Landing in a poor position can lead to an ACL tear.
Throwing with incorrect form can contribute to overuse injuries in the shoulder.
Lifting incorrectly can lead to back injuries.
