I consider my arm bands lucky. I got them from my grandmother two christmas's ago but she ahd died that summer. This year in grade10 for absketball, we ahd gone off for a tourney and I had started to play without my armbands on, and for the whole game we were winning (but only by a very slight amount), and then when I was subbed on in the third quarter, I put on my armband and we started to take a large lead (10+ point spread) then I was subbed off again. The other team started to catch up again (we only had a 5 point lead and about 3 minutes left) so I came back on (with mah armband) and I completely dominated. They fouled me nearly on every offensive possesion I had. I wracked up 17 points and like, 3 assist and 2 rebounds (or something to that affect) while I shot 5 for 6 from the line. Which is incredible for my age group (and nearly insane for me team x_x).
However, it doesn't always bring me much luck since my whole life is hell (IMHO) and nothing good tends to happen anyways.
however when I was on vacation, I DID where my armbands. ^^;
