I know its probably not the first choice for indoor basketball, but I have definitely seen great basketball images from the 1.2. I think it can do much better than your examples even you or myself are behind the camera.

You can certainly get basketball images with it. You just get fewer frames per second as the focus motor tries to keep up, and you'll get longer periods of no photos if the AF locks on the background.
