Why are so many NBA players wearing tshirts under their jerseys?

cadecrusader: Everyone wants to be like Skeets lol
Simon_Sez: Maybe the jerseys suck and chafe on peoples shoulders or armpits too much. Maybe that’s why Jalen Suggs is wearing a headband as a neckguard lol
JDexia: Walks slowly to camera
neospiderman2165: Adidas were not wrong
They were just too early and wrong execution
randomguy1118: Let's be real the truth is that they don't have shoulder muscles
pabloconsuela5405: What’s ironic about it is back in like 2015 they had sleeved jerseys and the players literally hated them with a passion
OfficialJD1994: It’s the GenZ kids, anxious and being anxiety ridden about everything and in this case, people seeing their small arms
PoisedHD: they don’t want the chemicals in JBs hairline rubbing into their skin
gabrielveloro: It’s just a style trend rn lol
Jerm408502: Couldn't wear a jersey raw. Had to have an undershirt.
Traderpro416: They don't lift anymore
JDub3799: It’s just the swag nowadays. No different than when everyone started wearing compression leg sleeves or shooting sleeves. It just looks cool
Leonard-q1t: Honestly, it’s probably a combination of all those things
danieljd6776: In highschool I always wore a t-shirt to practice in, and then had to wear a sleeveless jersey for games. It just seemed weird not having sleeves during games so I understand it.
Suavesito_lopez: Adam Nash/Steve Sandler
jphuture: I believe that as a player getting their own jersey (reversible or otherwise) you have to go no sleeves but the tank underneath is a must!!!!
atlantahawksfan8: I don't mind it unless it's someone who looks weird wearing it like Dylan Harper
theoriginalmattyice3897: I just noticed Jalen Suggs and Anthony Black were wearing undershirts with the sleeves cut off. Jagged edges and everything. What is going on?
RPLCptGawo: Probably a marketing thing or a trend thing like the quarter zips. These young bloods got it
Cam101077: Its mysterious
VictorAntares: Trae shivering
donaldchesser157: Because Adam Silver is a horrible commissioner
connorclark4525: bring the sleeved jerseys back
basketballblablabla: I wore a jersey before, its legit super uncomfortable. I would be wearing a shirt too its just more comfortable
BRIANPRYOR66: This RoOkie
luckytai-lan2166: Same reason why they wear compression pants, for the aesthetics and because they are conscious of their bodies.
