We've always followed the pace of the NBA, followed different stars, and watched games from different eras. But with the development of the times and the improvement of technology, the game in the NBA has also undergone many changes. For example, the image is clearer and more detail is captured. But the tide is rolling forward, and some small things are disappearing or have disappeared, so let's take a look at what they are and what causes them to disappear.
chewing gum
In the past, when I watched NBA games, I always saw many players chewing gum while playing. For example, Jordan, Kobe, Ray Allen, and Wade are all lovers of chewing gum.
I've never seen anything so cool before, and I unconsciously like this little thing. But there are many latecomers, in addition to Kobe Bryant's step-back jumper and Jordan likeness, chewing gum is also one of his hobbies. Sometimes without chewing gum, biting directly into the clothes is also Kobe's label.
Ray Allen, Wade is close behind, and they are also one of the crushes of chewing gum.
There seemed to be a lot of such Xi among the stars of that era, and according to foreign media analysis, chewing gum was cool on the one hand, and at the same time had many effects.
For example, stabilizing mood, preventing anxiety, and regular oral exercise can also increase memory. Another point should be to freshen the mouth, for people with bad breath or bad breath, it is versatile and harmless.
Of course, the reason why chewing gum was popular back then was mainly due to the promotion of several bigwigs, and the bigwigs all did this, and it was strange that the younger brothers didn't keep up.
Times are changing, and so are trends. It's not the higher-end food that beats chewing gum, it's something else – braces. It's Curry's favorite braces for elementary school students.
Braces can be customized according to the teeth of the football star, which is very suitable for you. At the same time, it is relatively clean and hygienic, in addition to protecting teeth, it can also be chewed as chewing gum, such as Curry, which can also stabilize the mood. Curry's free throws are so accurate, and it has something to do with chewing braces.
Another point, after chewing gum into a lump, I don't know what to do with it. You can't just spit on the floor when you play on the court, you can only wait for a timeout to deal with it, and braces will not be like this. And the braces can also be auctioned to help the superstars do charity. Why not.
In addition, the previous group of bigwigs who liked chewing gum have retired one after another, so chewing gum has disappeared from the alliance.
Headbands
The headband cannot be said to have disappeared, but it can only be said that it has slowly decreased.
Ten years ago, there were a lot of players wearing headbands. Of course, headbands still have many benefits. First, stop the sweat from your head from dripping onto your body. Second, for example, Emperor Zhan, in order to cover his slowly receding hairline.
Previous headband men have answers Alan Iverson, Paul Pierce, Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, Jason Terry, etc.
See how their headbands look.
Not to mention, if the hairband gang organized a team back then, would it be good to be a proper league leader.
There are still headbands, but fewer and fewer people wear them. Anthony Davis, James, Alexander and others.
Of course, modern players wear headbands occasionally, not on the field. The previous gang of headbands wore headbands every day. So, it feels like this thing is slowly disappearing.
Of course, there are other things that are slowly disappearing, such as the I love this game commercial, which we like to watch the most, and the masks that fewer and fewer people wear. As the times change, they are all changing.
Let's take a look at the changes in clothing.
Marlon and Stockton's costumes are simple and classic. Malone also wore bracers, and Stockton didn't have anything else on his body except for his shirt and shorts. Take minimalism to the extreme.
Look at Brother Thick Mei's current equipment, there are all kinds of pads inside, including the vest, which is full of protective devices. I don't know if technology is changing life, or if technology is making life more complicated. It looks tired, and you can't wear and undress to death if you don't wear or undress.
