wtf is with this arm sleeve trend. almost every guard is wearing one now.

Hell I went to the park to play some pickup games and I saw this one beaner wearing one, and he sucked. and when he was guarding me, i can fucking tell it was just a long black sock.

lol @ this trend

To help garner foul shots I heard.

maybe to keep your hands from getting sweaty. most people probably just do it for the looks though.

I know some post players wear long sleeve shirts to keep their arms from getting scratched up, but I don't know what the point of an arm shimmel is.

ROFL

It got big a few years ago when VC started wearing tights, then people started wearing the sleeve. They stopped the tights after a while, but the sleeves were ok for the league. Supposedly it keeps muscles warm and keep your shooting stroke going.

Any use of it outside of sanctioned competition, like some retard in a pickup game are just faggots.

I know Allan Iverson started wearing his arm sleeves to cover up some of his tattoos that other people may find offensive.

To be honest, I tried one out in a rec league game and found it pretty uncomfortable to play with. I really can't see how NBA players can wear it for all 48+ minutes.
