    How does it increase blood flow? Wouldn’t flow be better without? It’s technically a long elbow sleeve. It’s for elbow support

    People think leg sleeves and arm sleeves are only to look cool and sometimes that is the case, but I’ve worn leg sleeves playing in high school because after I dove for the ball, my knees got all scraped up.

Like a blood pressure cuff when it compresses your arm, you lose feeling in your arm due to the loss of blood flow being caused by said compression. Sounds like a bunch of bs😂

    there was always an urban legend that AI started wearing shooter sleeves to cover up his gang tats. there’s no facts to back it up but i always thought it was an interesting myth

      No you right that’s the real reason he wore those sleeves. NBA said he had to cover them or he can’t play
