Basketball Hand Chalk

Does putting chalk / dust on your hands really help basketball? 3

People get their hands dirty with chalk / dust while playing games like LeBron, E, Ward, Kobe and many more ...

Does it really help? The science behind it? What is this dust? Thank you very much.

Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either. Looks like BT aint for me either.

I think the powder will soften your hands and allow them to hold the ball well, which will keep them dry so that the ball does not slip out of your hands. And most importantly, I think they only use regular powders.
I think it's dust, it just gives you more control over the ball. LeBron threw it into the air to swing. But it sounds good.
Yes ... so that the ball does not slip ... our hands are drenched in sweat ...
See the trick element a can help!
