Reduce friction...: Take the insoles out of your basketball shoes and replace them with spenco polysorb cross-trainer insoles. "http://www.Spenco.Com/products/footcare/poly-sorb/cross-trainer" replace the socks you currently wear for basketball with specialized thor-lo socks. "http://www.Thorlo.Com/basketball-socks.Php" this should help tremendously!
