A finger sleeve is worn by basketball players to enhance grip on the ball during a shot and to prevent the ball from rolling or slipping to the top of the fingers.^{[citation needed]} It is the player's preference on which finger the sleeve is worn. Many choose to wear more than one finger sleeve, such as Reggie Miller. The use of the finger sleeve is authorized and approved by the NBA (National Basketball Association).
