Why do professional basketball players like to wear tight fitting clothes? At first, most players were driven by medical needs. Joe Smith, who was still playing for the Bucks at the time, had just undergone knee surgery and needed to wear tight pants to keep his knees tight and warm, reducing the likelihood of getting injured again. At his recommendation, his teammates Michael Reed, Andrew Bogut, and others also wore tight pants, which were considered pioneers in the trend of tight fitting equipment at that time. #FridayFriyay#Sport #fridayfriyay #BaketBall
