Never did I see pads on any of them. Ever.

QFT, I have never understood this myself, especially when you are the only one on the floor wearing these.... especially playing pickup up ball, like most of us do.

Most athletes do it for style, many of us average joe's do it because they are doing it too. Just my 2 pennies

FTR, Nike probably makes the worst of the padded gear. McDavid is the best. UA and Adidas also good and superior to the Nike stuff.

^Its in stores, they have a store locator on there website. As far as wearing the stuff, I use it for protection. Getting knees to the thighs isn't a fun thing. People played in chucks back in the day, does that mean I should go grab a pair and use those? Times and technology change.

Next thing you know Stern is going to be making helmets and advocating concussion awareness.
Padding in basketball does not improve your comfort or performance. Circulation issues on the legs with certain socks/tights ? Understandable. Neoprene sleeve for your elbow or knee for medical/surgical reasons ? Sure

But body armor is stupid. Lebron is a physical specimen. Is he a sissy clown? Sure but he's genetically gifted. Dude can take a tapping, doesn't need football pads ! No one does !

I really don't understand or see why do y'all care about what the NEXT man wears. some people like myself like to stay away from being hurt. not every game you get that

knee to the thigh, the elbow in the rib or 6 inch scratch on the arm, but when wearing this you PROTECT your body for it. I could care less what the next man wears when

balling, but to say body armor is stupid is just silly. its all about protection yo.. you know how many times I used to get hit in on my shins, with the mcdavid pads them

joints saved me from so much pain/hits.. and you on the other hand say its stupid

.

, if you don't like it FINE, but to say that its stupid baffles me..

and one more thing,  you know people like Lebron/D wade/ Durant play people even bigger than them right.. smh

QFT.

Fresh, which pads do you use for the shins? i've been looking to get some also ones with good compression for my calves... the neoprene sleeves are sometimes a bit too thick for me.
