Can I jump as high as NBA stars?

No, you cannot if you do not eat as many calories as them. A basketball player needs between 2.500 and 5,000 calories per day. Bananas contain helpful nutrients that make the body feel full of energy. Each banana, on average, contains 30g of carbohydrates, and about 0.01g of vitamin C. Especially, bananas are a rich source of potassium, about 0.4g of each. Potassium reduces a sudden pain in muscles. That is why a wise basketball player often enjoys a banana before or during the game.
