What's the purpose of Kobe's slinky arm sleeve thingy?

To prevent the sweat of his arm from moistening his hand, reducing his grip on the ball. It is like a headband for the arm. If you ask me, it looks pretty dumb.

As far as I know he hyper-extended his right elbow a while ago. It is for medical purposes.

Eambos: Does he think the pores on his forearm and hand don’t produce sweat? Just the ones from the band up, I guess.

I must be thinking of the wrong arm thingy. The one I was envisioning was an under-armor like sleve. I haven’t been watching basketball for a while. Ignore my previous post.

What he is wearing is probably making him sweat more. I have had to wear similar things when I sprained my ankle.

He’s a bitch, that’s what’s up with his arm sleeve.
