The despicable crap that basketball players wear!
No way would I wear those terminally ugly things.
My wife used to like to watch basketball games bur when the players started wearing those long shorts she hasn't’ watched one since.

Just about every day I run into somebody who has met him in a parking lot/diner/dingy alley/mall/golf course.
I have a theory that eventually, everyone will meet him...except me.
;D
Lucky you...you saw him at his bizarre best.
