Help in strengthening my knees.

[Dante666]

Anybody know some good exercises to help strengthen the knees? It's a bizarre question I know. I can generally do heavy squats, hack squats, front squats, but whenever I play basketball and occasionally when I play volleyball, the left knee in particular hurts. It's probably the constant pounding it takes from jumping. I might just be fishing, but does anyone have good suggestions on exercises to help strengthen my knees? My quad insertion into the knee is a weak spot in my legs, could that have something to do with it? Good exercises for that muscle insertion would be great as well. Nothin but love for ya guys!
