Just running the stadium stairs or doing long slow cardio won't translate very well into improved performance on the court. However doing highly varied, intense, coordination requiring workouts (CrossFit for example) often does. The structure of these workouts often allows faster and better gains in conditioning that you would get from just playing the sport. that can translate to still going strong in the fourth quarter as your opponent fades. And for most of us a little more muslce mass from weight training translates into better performance.
