If you are an old NBA fan, you might have witnessed LeBron James and maybe a few other basketball players tossing powder in the air. But why? Let's find out!
What is the reason behind using chalk?
Basketball players use chalk to get a better grip of the basketball while dribbling, shooting, passing, etc. so that they don't have to worry about losing the ball because of sweaty hands.
Who started the powder toss?
Michael Jordan was the first to do a powder toss, he started this ritual as a prank to the Bulls commentators!
But why does LeBron continues to do the toss?
LeBron was likely inspired by Jordan and did a powder toss of his own to hype up the fans!
