Basket ball is amazing for cutting and cardio. Basically high intensity cardiovascular with a twist. Whenever I did it I had no belly fat but also left me tired after playing for 2 hrs. Played all throughout high school and I was a skinny twig with no fat. I don't play these days but I don't need it anymore for cutting. Basketball does give you that head rush feeling though (adrenaline maybe?) and I loved that.

ive seen it do nothing for many people who played almost daily.. its not good for cardio sorry. Also much better to workout before playing. Ive played for over 10 years now

You don't want to solely depend on it for cardio but you can absolutely mix it in as part of it... I would definitely not just go with that for all of it though... Variety is key and mixing it in is ideal though...

My personal trainer said basketball is good for cardio, and even better for warm up before working out.
