    Default What is the web thingy that basketball players wear on their arms?

    [COLOR="Black"][/COLOR][COLOR="Navy"][/COLOR][COLOR="Blue"][/COLOR]

    Serious question, seems like it is the trend lately among athletes like how Iverson popularize the arm sleeve. What is the purpose? An arm sleeve keeps the arm warm. But a web? Is it to make him look like an intimidating cyborg? Or does it enable spider-senses so he can throw accurate passes in slo-mo?

    Some people think it has a therapeutic effect on the muscle... some think it's just a placebo. Lots of people wearing it in all different sports.
