Do the players ever get annoyed with the constant squeaking of their shoes on the court?

It is a well-known fact that basketball players wear shoes that make a distinct squeaking sound on the court. This sound is caused by the rubber soles of the shoes gripping the court surface and then releasing it as the player makes a quick move. The sound is part of the game and is even considered by some to be part of the sport's charm.

While some players may find the sound annoying, most have learned to tune it out over time. In fact, some players even use the sound to their advantage by listening for it to anticipate an opponent's move. Additionally, coaches and trainers often use the sound as a cue to communicate with their players during games and practices.

It's important to note that the squeaking of shoes can be a sign of a problem with the shoe itself, such as a loose or worn-out sole. In these cases, the shoe should be replaced to prevent injury and improve performance on the court.
