Arm pad

[IARai8er]

So what is the function of the wrist to bicep arm thing alot of guys today are wearing or is it just a "fashion" thing? Seems like it would be kinda restrictive? Just wonderin

Some people wear it for fashion. I know one of my teammates in college had elbow problems from baseball and used it to keep his arm warm so it didn't stiffen up. Some arm sleeves have padding on the elbow so it takes away the pain one would feel when they bang it on the floor.

Some use it to keep the shooting arm warm. Some use it to For circulation I believe.

Marketing hype.

I have a teammate now that has to wear one because his doctor prescribed it after surgery.

This. I know Devyn's has the padding on the elbow, although there are some that don't have the padding.

Bursitis is a big reason. Iverson wore his for that reason.

Iverson started this trend correct? I know plenty of that wore it, without injury cause they loved AI.

Iverson was the first NBA player I remember wearing one.
