Dress Like Your Favorite Superstar

There are several players that are known for wearing specific accessories every time they step onto the floor.
Allen Iverson is the best example of this, he is the whole reason why we wear shooting sleeves now. He said it was to prevent bursitis in his elbow, but we all know the truth: he just wanted to look cool.



Dwyane Wade often wears a shooting sleeve, and Kobe has worn them occasionally throughout his career.

When LeBron was in Miami, he constantly wore a headband. This caused him to be the butt of many jokes about his receding hair line, but everyone remembers that game in the 2014 playoffs where his headband fell off and he just left it there while he completely took over the game and produced a triple double
.

Paul Pierce and DeMarcus Cousins are two other plays who always wear headbands. It must be effective at keeping the sweat out of their eyes for them, because they both have very high shooting percentages. 

Carmelo Anthony takes accessorizing to a whole new level. Not only does he wear two shooting sleeves every game, he also has a headband and knee brace. He really goes all out, and apparently it works. Ever since he took Syracuse to a National Title, Melo has been a prolific scorer.

 

Whenever you picture Michael Jordan, you see him in his red Chicago Bulls uniform. But did you know that he always had the same pair of blue shorts on underneath his red ones? They're a carryover from his days as a UNC Tarheel, and he was so superstitious that he swore he would lose a game if he didn't wear them. One time, someone stole his jersey before a game so he had to play with a number 12 jersey instead of his legendary 23, but had his shorts been stolen, I doubt he would have ever set foot on the court again. I wonder if he managed to keep those shorts on when he played baseball too
