There are many different things that you can do. If you have no weights, you can do toe ups or calf raises, you can do squats or any excercise that puts strain on your muscles. Also stretching will also help. You can also practice jumping to higher and higher objects and gradually increase. So basically any leg workout will help.

Dirk no longer for MVP?

try calf raises.. either on flat ground and raise yourself up onto your tip toes and back down.do sets of 15-20... or do it on a bench or something where you stand on the edge and raise yourself all the way up on your toes... and then lower yourself below the bench...

also do lots of tuck jumps. a great way to do this is to squat with your knees at a 90 degree angle for 15-20 seconds then jump as high as you can while pulling your knees up to your chest approximately 3-5 times... then repeat. this one is really tiring and you may need to take frequent breaks
