The biggest mistake you have in your routine is you're neglecting your legs and putting way to much concentratioin on curls.
 
If you're going to train 3 days.. try something a little more functional..  
 
Sunday:
Squat
Bench
OH Press
Rows
Pullups
 
Tuesday:
Deads
Incline Bench
OH Press
Rows
Pullups
 
Thursday:
Squat
Bench
OH Press
Rows
Pullups

Running and playing B-ball isn't enough to build mass in legs.... training your legs also helps increase mass every where else..
 
In regards to sets and reps.. changing every 2-3 weeks is key..
 
weeks 1-3
2 sets of 15 starting at 80% of your max..
 
weeks 4-6
3 sets of 10's starting at 85%
 
Weeks 7-9
4 sets of 5's starting at 85%
 
bascially you want to keep moving forward constantly adding small increments of weigh to each workout.. not set. keep the set weight consistent.. If your diet is good and above maintainance.. you keep a good progressive load going on your training.. you'll see gains.. Goodluck

Honestly, the routine I posted for you would be much better.. How long have you been training.. Unless you're at a more advanced level, you could really do without all the isolation exercises.. the compound lifts I posted will more than give your muscles enough stimulation for hypertrophy and strength gains....
 
Workout 1 looks good.. but workout 2..?
I'm not crazy about the idea of doing DB squats, followed by flye's, curls and extentions.. but that's just me.. you would be much better served by simply duplicating workout number 1, only replacing the squats with deads.. and keeping everything else the same.. or possibly doing DB work instead of bar work.. with the rows, and other presses..

look at what you just posted???   you're saying you want to do squats 3 days in a row.  overtraining my friend. 

i was going to comment further, but smoundzou has you taken care of dude. listen to him. he knows his sIht.  and i agree with what he's said completely.  you don't have to follow advice.. but asked for it, so we're giving it.

My name is FOX.... and I approve this message.

Follow smoudzou's advice you will see gains. If someone in the gym looks down on what your doing then they obviously don't know squat... Remember if you don't squat don't expect any good gains!!!

listening to smound is working awesome for me!
No the leg press is not the same as doing squats.
