Omer Asik wearing Boozer style hand wrap

[khufure]

Has anyone worn these? I've been wondering for a bit if this is related to Boozer having such good hands for rebounding.

In theory it would alter blood flow and perhaps cause increased sensitivity on the middle finger. Nerves tingling kind of thing. Or maybe I'm totally wrong and Asik jammed his finger ASIK CRUSHing someone..

He should probably wear football gloves with stick'em.

I thought Boozer was wearing that wrap cause of what he did last year to that hand.

[Red8911]

Asik should consider visiting a barber shop..

Didn't Kobe wear some sort of glove early in his playing career? Omer should wear gloves that have stick em on it, for sure.

He's been wearing some kind of sleeve under his jersey too for the last few games, anybody else notice it'/know what it's for?

I'm not sure if that's a single pieced wrap so much as it is a tape job. Looks like the tape the US Olympic beach volleyball players were wearing that we kept getting special reports on.

You wouldn't think it'd be necessary to wrap stone.

yes, under his shoulder. I saw him stretching it and wincing, but smiling cause he had a great game. the next game he started wearing the shoulder padding and worn it since.

Not sure if this is related, but apparently the coaches are using a tennis ball launching machine and making him catch the balls. Hopefully it works. One Day.

Put glue on those straps, plz

I used to think Booze was wearing the JJ Redick shooting glove ..

Asik is a monster and is only getting better.

I hope he doesn't leave us for more money during FA

I just keep getting flashbacks from dodgeball and was thinking that maybe asik played that a little too much as a kid, old habits u know...

I think that is exactly what it is.

It is called Kinesiotape. From what I know it is placed along the lines of the muscle fibers and is suppose to relax tight muscles, facilitate underused muscles and increase circulation to help with swelling

There isn't much research behind it, but some people claim that it helps and it doesn't cost much so its worth a try.
