protein shake before basketball?

[TipDrill]

Ok, I try to play basketball 3 to 4 times a week. Its like a drug, and I'm fairly consistent with it. I was also told that playing hours of basketball can eat away at your hard earned muscle tissue. Will a protein shake before playing help?

Good question...my guess would be to take a high-carb/high-protein shake AFTER.

Otherwise the protein calories may be used up as energy..(?)

glucose energy drink will be enough, followed by protein + carb replensher afterwards

Any particular kind?
