If you’ve never heard of Stickum before it’s an adhesive NFL receivers used to put on their hands to help catch and grip the football before it was banned by the league in 1981. Not only is Stickum illegal in the NFL the NBA doesn’t allow its players to use it. Apparently Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard has been using it for quite some time. An usual moment occurred during Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks when Paul Millsap noticed the basketball felt like someone poured maple syrup over it.
