Are compression shorts and shirts comfortable to wear?

Are compression shorts and shirts comfortable and "okay" for teenage boys to wear while playing basketball? I am going to wear regular baggy basketball shorts over the shorts and a baggy shirt over the shirt. I want to buy Under Armour® compression shorts and shirts.

    Materials for compression (i.e. spandex) can be very detrimental to one who is working out. Wearing compression material over prolonged periods of time will constrict blood circulation. I would not recommend wearing compression gear while on the treadmill. There are boxing shorts you can buy that contains a bit of compression to prevent movement below but does not constrict your legs or waist!!!
