Lenny Currier, former Head Athletic Trainer for the @sixers invented the iconic shooting sleeve worn by Allen Iverson to help him manage elbow bursitis and stay on the court. First worn by Iverson in 2001, this simple piece of cut-out compression cloth quickly became a legendary basketball accessory, contributing to Iverson's MVP season and scoring explosion. Since then, the shooting sleeve has become an integral part of basketball culture, worn by countless stars like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant—not just for support and injury protection, but also as a confidence-boosting style statement.
