Speaking of Lakers star LeBron James’ signature moves, spreading magnesium powder must be one of them! This habit has continued from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the present. Frankly speaking, the action of spreading magnesium powder actually looks quite "secondary", just like a character in an arcade game sending a "wave". But James has persisted in this action for decades, and gradually people feel that he is a little domineering.

Some media previously broke the news that James will no longer throw magnesium powder. This is obviously a rumor. The picture below is James wearing a Lakers jersey. Before the game, he still continued his action of throwing magnesium powder. Just like when I first entered the league 17 years ago.

So why does James like to sprinkle magnesium powder before games? Lao Zhan said in an interview that this action was continued from his high school days. At that time, James was a superstar at St. Mary's, and many people came to watch him play. When James went to the courtside technical table to apply anti-skid magnesium powder, the fans knew that he was going to play, so they started cheering. James felt that he should do something to respond to the fans, so he sprinkled the magnesium powder into the air. The enthusiasm of the fans Instantly ignited.

So this action has continued to this day. Many young fans like to imitate James's action. It is often seen that children wearing Lao James' jerseys imitate him in spreading magnesium powder.

When I was with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the audience on the side of the technical stage would even hold a handful of magnesium powder and throw it into the air at the same time as James. The scene was very spectacular!

There are even more fanatical ones! The picture below shows the graduation ceremony of a college student in the United States. Before taking the stage to receive his honor, the college student first imitated James' "suppressing" action, and then threw the magnesium powder in his hand into the air, winning rounds of applause.

In fact, James is not the first NBA player to sprinkle magnesium powder into the air. Garnett had already done so during the Timberwolves period, but Garnett prefers to sprinkle magnesium powder closer. In the air at the technical desk, I made a little joke with the staff.

After joining the Celtics, Garnett did not forget this habit. When he returned to the Timberwolves at the end of his career, KG became much more restrained.

Before Garnett, Jordan was the first NBA player to use magnesium powder to "make trouble". When he was with the Bulls, Jordan always liked to joke with the commentators on the sidelines. He did not choose to throw magnesium powder. Instead, after coating his hands with magnesium powder, he came to the commentary box and slapped it constantly, covering the commentator's body. Because magnesium powder in the air will float for a period of time, in order to avoid inhaling these particles, the commentator cannot speak within the first half minute of the game.

Later, the commentators also thought of a way. Every time they commentate on Jordan's game, they will prepare umbrellas, masks and other defensive measures. The scene is very funny.

Although Jordan and Garnett have done similar things, only James was pranked. Some fans turned James' powder-spreading action into ramen noodles. If you look closely, it looks like that. What's going on, the ramen noodles were thrown into the air, and the flour was flying in the wind.

James himself is a person who likes to be funny. He is still like a child at the age of 35, so his fans mentality is also very good. There is absolutely no malice in making such pictures, he is just making fun of what he likes. Just players. Do you also know what classic moves James has that have been parodied? Let me know in the comment area!
