Why do Basketball Players Shave their Legs?
Only one that I know that didn't was Tim Hardaway.
Other athletes shave their legs also.

aerodynamics. less wind resistance so they can jump higher and run faster. much like why swimmers shave their body and head.

they don't shave their legs lol. You just can't see the hair on black people's legs as easily.

Nah, I'm thinking it probably has more to do with other stuff, for example if you slide on the floor with a harry body, then it's going to hurt. But I don't know. Definitely it helps with swimmers, but not sure why in basketball.

You can see it on Tim Hardaway and he's black. Plus the white players, no hair.

i believe you guys are putting too much into this. jumping higher and running faster?? in a sport like swimming, where the difference between 1st and 2nd place are 0.000001 i could see how that matters, but how much higher could one jump with leg hair compared to those who dont have leg hair?
and if they shaved to jump higher and run faster then what would be the point of some of them wearing double-sock, sleeves, etc (not the gear that matters like ankle braces i mean the unnecessary things)?
