Basketball player animations?

EightiesIsEnough

Are there any animations for regular basketball players anywhere? I checked the Shop, and found such animations for wheelchair athletes only.

You are right, I also couldn't find any animations for basketball, at least with that in the name. I didn't try 'hoops' or a generic 'sports' though. I do have a thought though.

First, I have never played basketball so I have no idea how good these may be. Maybe take the available poses and use them with the Pane Puppeteer might work for you?

If you need them for G9 or another generation/sex, then the Bone Minion series might work to transfer the pose on the fly to the generation you are using.

Considering how popular men's and now women's basketball is in the United States, I am surprised we don't have an animation for it. As well as American football, baseball, soccer (world football), rugby, and hockey. And up-to-date outfits and gear. Just saying. I (think?) Denver has national teams in each. But it is a popular school sport.
