    Ha, had no idea about this tape. Initially thought it was for some injury and later thought it was a fashion statement from James.

    Read up on it and it was invited from the 70s by a Japanese Chiropractor. As folks already said, no idea on if it work. May just be psychological.

    But hey, some people need that psych edge :grin:

    Well, Lebron doesn't like sleeve shirts.

    Not sure exactly how the tape works, but when I tore my meniscus I wrapped my knee with it and it immediately made it easier for me to move around. Something to do with it having the same elasticity as skin and providing extra support, whatever it is, it works.

    Reading comprehension...if hes wearing it bc he really has an issue, then he now has two issues, not just one..and this one is on his shooting arm. It's not about the tape.

    However, if the tape truly serves to help activate muscles, you could argue that is going to change his movements and he has to adapt to that now.

    You may not believe the latter, but the former may not be up for debate.
