What powder do nba players use?

I see Lebron James using some powder before he comes into the game. I was just wondering what it is an what it does?

Baby powder, to dry the sweat off their hands. Lebron wants to "be like Mike" by using it, as Jordan was infamous for his use of baby powder.
its baby powder
Baby powder, it stops your hands from sweating so you can grip the ball better.
it could just be talcum or baby powder to dry the hands. i also heard the announcers say that it is rosin powder. rosin is the same kind that the baseball pitchers use. this is the one they usually have in a bag behind the mound and toss around on their hand to help their grip since rosin has a friction-increasing capacity.
its prabably just a deoderant or somthing to make his skin dry so he wont sweat as much or maybe just for grip for his hands



usually its just to close up pores so the face wont sweat alot
johnson and johnson baby powder
baby powder, removes the oil from your hands so you have a smooth stroke and control of the ball.

  1. I really think its gymnastic & weightlifting chalk
    powdered and solid block forms of magnesium carbonate. used on the hands of gymnasts and weightlifters to reduce friction from contact with equipment.

  5. Rosin in powder form is what basketball players uses, because its sticky. Ballers would want a better grip on the ball. Chalk, aka gym chalk is what gymnast and weightlifters use, because it draws out moisture. Chalk is not sticky. Baby powder makes things slippery so it wouldnt be good for basketball or gymnastics. However some weightlifters use chalk and baby powder. Chalk for their hands and baby powder for their legs. Its on their legs because it helps reduce the friction of the bar as it rubs against their legs in a deadlift, making it easier to lift the weight.
