As someone who reads yaoi for shits, the first thing I realised is not believing an ounce of what's written in it. At least take it with a pinch if salt. So yeah...
Wait I thought it was Base all? Did I read it wrong?
Baseball*
Nvm I read it again, it was basketball and yeah this is complete load of bullshit bcs I have younger sister that is training basketball and even from my own experince using hand cream is completly stupid when playing basketball. But maybe they thought after playing he uses hand cream?
As someone whos played basketball for over half of my life i would like to point out that putting on lotion before or after touching a basketball is the dumbest shit iv ever heard. A basketball is smooth HOW THE HELL DO YOUE HANDS GET ROUGH????
