Why do NBA Players Stick Their Mouthpiece Out?

[will2survive]

It's a new thing and it's not to breathe or safety purposes. They think that it looks cool. I think that it's totally annoying. Do you ever see old school players or even players like Kobe Bryant doing that? Of course not

[Brock Landers]

agreed

i don't even know what they are all doing using them to begin with!

[SlickFazzer]

Jordan, Bird, Magic etc....not a mouth piece to be found.

Hell, my brother had to get some surgery done on his gums and teeth b/c he took an elbow and that was when he was 13 or so. Imagine the kind of damage Lebron's elbow could do to your face without a mouth piece.

its just part of being involved in the game you do somefin because of something that happend. you guys dont understand..

[sportsguy04]

Clearly you fatasses never played a competitive sport at a high level, they aren't doing it for looks and show. When you have a mouth piece in, it builds up saliva and is kind of a unnatural feeling in your mouth, so when ever you get the chance you want to take it out.

Its sticks out because they are chewing on it.
I used to chew the shit out of mine.

[onlooker]

People have issues if they let something like this bother them.

Habit forming. I used to chew on the laces of my glove between pitching.

I thought they said the mouthpieces the Saints wore made you more coordinated and jump higher?

Thank you atleast someone knows wtf there talking about.

[Smoke]

It means they want to fukk you

[LostBankroll]

Ask MIKE VICK why he got 1 strap strapped to his helmet.....

[Coolcanuck79]

Yeah, I play hockey and it's just a habbit to chew it. Hard to talk and breathe with it.

In NHL too

[Goat Milk]

Kobe doesn't wear a mouthpiece. Stop trying to psychoanalyze athletes. "They're trying to look cool"

You're brain is small

Thanks

[milwaukee mike]

same story in every sport, good responses here
hard to talk to teammates, etc with it in

look at quarterbacks, some will take it out and put it back in every snap, chin strap too

just an uncomfortable thing

"Jordan never had a mouthpiece so it must be useless"

You sound like a complete idiot

[Sport_Fish]

Sounds about right...LeBron James now has a ring so, people need something else to criticize in this league...

...why not go after the players' safety equipment

[Sport_Fish]

And as far as the actual discussion, its a useless question. Its like asking why do poker players shuffle their chips when sitting at a poker table?

Agreed, is this seriously worthy of a thread? OP obviously hasn't played a competitive sport with a mouthpiece in, regardless it's such a minute thing to be bothered by.
