There have been several iterations of the NBA player protective face mask. Rip Hamilton famously kept wearing his well after his bones healed, but Kobe Bryant, Lucious Harris, Joe Johnson, and Joel Embiid have all taken turns with the protective mask — which players say takes time to get accustomed to. I’m a few days late to this, but Jaylen’s version of the mask is without a doubt the most imposing, and it doesn’t appear to be impacting his play, as he scored 15 first-half points and was a team high +15. The mask is giving me serious MF Doom vibes.
