Just buy a childs size "skins" sock/calf garment and cut the foot part off :-), come in packs of two so you could have one calf and on arm covered :-)

thats a pretty wise statement to make considering you are or were a navy seal (if that job is still around). looks like jigga aint the only one who has been made to look like a tool in his life...give the kid some slack.

people only wear armbands, headbands, etc to make up for a lack of skill.
Unless of course, you're allen iverson.

Pauline - or maybe they wear them as an NBA sanctioned measure which requires them to cover "offensive" body art?

that was me btw. Im aware AI wears it to cover up his tats. why do middle class australian white people have to wear them. to make up for lack of skill.
real players get attention for their basketball talent.

I have seen a junior Norwood boy wearing an full lenght black arm sleve plus two knee high black leg sleves (they were not socks!)+ a black head band!!!!
The kid looked like an absolute tosser, sorry I dont care if he was a junior, he looked terrible and played like a sack of three week old spuds.
If you feel the need to cover up some tattoos or scarring, then more power to you.
If you are wearing them as a fashion statement-fair enough, it is your choice, but IMO and many more, they look plain stupid on skinny white guys!

1. this is not the NBA. if you have an offensive tattoo nobody playing or officiating cares enough to employ these rulings. so you dont need to wear one!
2. there has been no evidence that a sleve by itself makes difference to injury. if its bad enough that you need it to be warm... play a little harder to get your blood circulating or sit your arse back on the bench. you dont need to wear one!
& 3. as for a fashion statement.... are you kidding me, unless you have serious game and or are a look-a-like to iverson put it back in its packet and only wear it in your backyard... you can look like a tool in your own time! you dont need to wear it!
