It's to ward off the evil sp ... er... eye. Actually, it's good for basketball too, because the defender is mesmerized by it, thereby facilitating the blow by.
The truth is I don't know. I do know that the decorative dot women wear is a bindi, but this is a religious one called a tika. I think the Hindu priests smear it on you, in the hopes that you'll drop a few rupees on them.
The eclectic owner of the schooner I worked on in Camden Maine had a secretary, her actual first name was India. One time while I was hanging out in his office he was on the phone with someone pertaining to business. He was frantically trying to find some papers he needed on his typically messy desk. With the phone still to his ear he yells, "Where the hell is India?" I don't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but I remember what my boss yelled back, "It's not a geographical question! She's my secretary!" hahahaha
Evil Spock met a stripper with the stage name of India. She said she went to high school with me, but Evil Spock couldn't figure out who she was. She later changed her stage name to Cinnamon.
Funny thing was she was neither Indian or a fragrant spice.
But didn't the old timey sailors bring the spices back from India? hmmm, it all seems somehow connected. cinnamon girl, brown sugar, sailors... Good times indeed.
Leaving India, I cut myself while weighing my luggage, though I didn't realize it, at the Bombay airport.. There were blood stains on my clothes. On the Air France flight, the stewardess asked me what happened ... I made a joke that would have probably gotten me in big trouble post 9-11. Suddenly, somewhere over the Arabian Sea, we had a nasty bit of turbulence, and the champagne and the food were everywhere.

You're so clever.

What's the deal with that dot? Can you see out of it? Does it turn color when you're ticked off?

wow, I didn't even notice the dot. I was hypnotized by the monkeys.
Why can't they have dots too?
