Also, something common around this area is some players wear leg weights. Legal?

Tanner, a patellar strap look something like this--worn just under the knee. There are all different kinds of models. They are legal. I know that McDavid makes some models also.



Leg weights are illegal. They aren't basketball appropriate.

Some players are also rolling and wrapping a piece of prewrap around the knee to help with this. I almost made a player take it off a year or so ago until the coach explained what it was for.
