[MSHrebel20]

Anyone know where i can get a shooting sleeve like john wall and eric bledsoe wear?

You can order the Nike Pro Combat or regular sleeve from Nike's site.

Can I get the blue/white one like wall wears?

[misterbluecat]

I don't believe so but you can get a solid white one. To be honest I am not even sure those sleeves are Nike, because I have not seen the Nike logo on the sleeve.

any idea what they are selling for?

[misterbluecat]

The Nike sleeves are anywhere between $30-$80.

Nike could sell tofu to eskimos........

$30-$80 for a sock for the forearm?!

The first one I remember seeing was on Iverson and while he was surely a great talent, I have never been a fan of his. I put him in the same category as T. O. It's more about him than it is the game. Just my opinion

I am old school, but what the heck is the benefit of the arm band, shooters wrap, elbow compressor, tatoo coverupper, etc??????

Is there a reason you need one? Because otherwise you're going to look like a poser.

Much like the pudgy white guy that wears the Patrick Patterson jersey/shorts/shoes combo at my gym. He's horrible and every time I see him playing, I can only laugh at him. Don't be that guy.

Wall claims he has an elbow injury and fluid builds up in there.

Who knows. I think they've seen it on NBA players and just think it looks cool. It's an age-old thing in sports for college players to ape what the celebrities in the pros do. Happened for years and years. I, for instance, used to wear a big fat white Bike kneebrace. Just like my hero, Kevin Duckworth.

For what it's worth, the one that Wall wears does indeed have a protective pad (1" thick) on the elbow.

The Philadelphia 76ers disagree.

People always say that about A.I., and to extent in the latter part of his career, I can see it. But you also need to remember - he carried some pretty miserable NBA teams SOLELY on his shoulders to the Eastern Conference Finals and the NBA Finals once. Sorry about the thread hijack, just had to get that off my mind.

I must say I do kinda like the sleeve. I wouldn't wear one, but they do look good.

Some things are better left unsaid, Will.

But while we're at it, I used to wear the Horace Grant goggles. Man, I looked like such a dork.
