Rip Hamilton does it specifically to piss people off. He calls it defense
Did it so much, guys started wearing sleeves so he wouldn't scratch the shit outta them

lol you know I was just joking right... but yea I bet people have jokes. I wonder if you make noise when you play with all of that shit rubbing together.
I think it's pretty nasty to body up against a guy when you both are all sweaty, but that's what you gotta do in basketball. I try to keep my forearm between myself and them, though.

yeah I know..
but joking aside...anytime you play pickup you should try it out..I got the long sleeve Nike compression for $40.00 (expensive I know)..worth every penny.

keeps you warm in winter...cool in summer...and protects from other men's funk/cuts/etc..
