Maybe he has a problem with his arm? Is that even a possibility as far as you're concerned?

Anybody see Lebron kissing both wrists when he was at the free throw line? Is that a new thing or has this been going on for a while? Please inform me.

Hmm, good idea. I have never seen him wear a sleeve and Carmelo is a good friend of his so I think it probably is for Melo. Pretty cool thing to do, alot like people who wear the numbered wristbands of injured teammates.

It'd be stupid if he wore it for Carmelo. It's like the rappers wearing "FREE ____" shirts, when the dude is locked up for a valid reason.

locking up a rapper for serving up hoes & bitches is never a valid reason, what you on about CK.

I didnt hear what's going on with the sleeve. But this idea he got from jason kidd i believe just this year. One wrist represents his mom, the other represents his girlfriend/baby's momma....its to help him focus and relax while at the FT line in order to hopefully increase his percentage.

they were talking about this during the game last night. imo its kinda lame but whatever. if a player in the nba needs a gimmick to hit a free throw then more power to them. i think a good gimmick would be actually practicing them, but thats just me.

hey i'm just repeating what the announcers said. Maybe Lebron is all sports psychologist influenced now, who knows? Sauru, practice is completely different from a game and you know it. Alot of people need a little something to calm them down ...after a hard foul or an intense game for example...to keep them focused. I say more power to him if he wants to show love to his family and they keep him calm enough to help his FT %...now when his FT % goes down you'll start to wonder...

I noticed the FT routine, think I might just add it into my routine, since I dont really have one. Back to the armsleeve, didn't he wear one last year for one game too?

by **bigh0rt** on Fri Dec 22, 2006 8:11 am

He's wearing it in protest to the War in Iraq.

by **Gedas** on Fri Dec 22, 2006 8:40 am

hes wearing it, because K. Rush signed with Rytas today.

by **Donatello** on Fri Dec 22, 2006 8:55 am

OMG HE'S LIKE TOTALLY WEARING A SLEEVE BECAUSE HE WANTS TO MAKE A STATEMENT ABOUT THE OPPRESSION OF SIBERIAN HAMSTERS LIVING IN CANADA

by **Its_asdf** on Fri Dec 22, 2006 9:15 am

^It's true. Sometimes I wonder if some of us Canadians even have a heart when dealing with those hamsters.

yeh- i think it was in the 3rd game of the year he started doing this. James was shooting ~60% from the line at the time

he's gotten better but for someone that goes to the line almost 10 times a game, 72% doesn't cut it

by **[Q]** on Fri Dec 22, 2006 11:54 am

I could've sworn TNT said he has a tattoo of his son on his wrist which I imagine is what he is kissing

He's wearing a sleeve because David Stern demanded he wear one. . .NBA players Do what Stern Says

by **Scotty** on Fri Dec 22, 2006 3:46 pm

yeah i just noticed he was wearing a sleeve on SportsCenter and then during the Pistons Cavs game. Melo and Wade wear one and he completes the trio, so why not :wink:

-although i dont think it suits him that much

by **Laxation** on Fri Dec 22, 2006 4:10 pm

i dont get it... does this thread indicate someone actually gives a shit about the sleeve?

by **Matt** on Fri Dec 22, 2006 6:52 pm

it goes out to AI, the former "mr Sleeve" of the East...someones gotta represent now.

by **Jowe** on Fri Dec 22, 2006 11:24 pm

Who gives a fuck?

by **cyanide** on Sat Dec 23, 2006 2:02 am

I'm getting tired of seeing how this is a hot topic every time I visit NBA Talk. It's just a sleeve! Holy.
