Hey guys, how are you?

I'm here to get some help of you.

I'm 6'0 super slim(LoL), and I wanna get in shape.
The thing is that I don't look like a body builder(I know it's about 5 or 6 years far from me), instead
I wanna look like a professional basketball player : Jordan or Rose is good.
Should I do aerobic exercises(Right now I'm just in the gym, nothing aerobic)?
Do you have any tips of number of reps, food I must eat and so on?

Thanks guys.
 
If you want more muscle than you currently have you need to build, that may not mean you are seeking to be the former governor of California but still need to use body building training.
I would always advise not to do just one or the other when looking at aerobic and weights anyway, do both but adjust the mix to what you want. No cardio means allowing your heart and lungs to be weak, a terminally stupid thing to do. Weight training can be cardio at the right levels and has the ability to enhance most training.
Look in the body building section on here for posts by Goldfish. He is one of the best generic trainers you will encounter. If you are unsure about any of his stuff ask and we will try to answer.
 
Hey man.

If you wanna look like a professional basketball player then I would personally incorporate weight training into your regime 4 times a week with this split - upper hypertrophy, lower hypertrophy, upper power, lower power. This is a famous weightlifting split that you can find online which increases strength and muscular size. Then on the other days you could do 30-45 mins cardio on the bike, walking etc. Essentially, the amount of calories you eat and the amount of calories you burn will determine whether you grow or not. If you eat more than you need, you'll grow, if you don't then you will start to lose fat/weight depending on how fast you're losing weight. Nutrition wise, as you're super slim I would try and find out what your maintenance calories are and then +100 calories to start with and slowly increase the calories over time so you can grow and minimize fat gain. Keep protein at least 1g per pound of bodyweight and don't be scared of eating fats and carbs.

Hope this helps.
