  What speed increase in basketball are you looking for? Dribbing speed or running speed? Endurance?
  
  I read a book in the library on increasing ur speed for sprinting by one of the record holders for 100m in recent times...
  
  U might want to check it out as it teaches you how to get the best out of yourself. It is going to be hard work...

  For me, I always start slower than others, at the back. Engine need to warm up first. Then I slowly overtake other people. That was last time when I was still learning swimming, back then, I had more stamina, now I run very slow liao.

  Maybe you can try carrying weights while running?
  Or you can try speed training or interval training where for example you run 400 m in 1m30s then rest for 2 mins. Do this for 6 times per session.
  Should helps but i nv try before...
