Dumb question on both sides of basketball (men and women):  what is up with the wearing of one leg sleeve?  I assume they are for compression rather than a Michael Jackson tribute.  I see (mostly men) in two sleeves sometimes, but both men and women in a single sleeve a lot.

Kiki has said she wears the single sleeve as a shout out to Aja Wilson.

Thanks Hulk. This is exactly why I asked. I thought someone would know. With a name, I looked it up: "Wilson likes how the fabric feels on her dominant leg - minor details make significant differences for athletes - and has said it keeps her warm."

I figured anyone wearing sleeves, T-shirt, etc. did so for comfort and always wondered about sleeves on only one arm or leg. I also know that athletes can be superstitious and if things go well while wearing something for any reason, even if that reason goes away, wearing that something sticks.
