So....are we doomed to return to the era of NBA hot pants?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Gee, Wash Post!

Yah think something important - like your anointed candidate’s illegal use of email on HER servo matters more than “the length of basketball crime stars’ shorts? “

or do you consider shorts more important than 10000 rapes and attacks performed by Muslims in Europe?

I say it’s about time.

Now if we could get rid of the 3 point shot......

[Sgt_Schultze]

...because he wanted to present a more professional appearance.

Of course. Because nothing says "professional" louder than short pants.

But now, the hemline is creeping back up.

I can understand LeBron's need to draw people's attention away from his receding hairline but yeah, I don't need to see that. If the longer shorts were good enough for Jordan in his best years, they're good enough for the current guys.

[Chode]

so the players dictate to the league what they will wear, is that it???

then why bother to call it a uniform?

It is about time — these Hip Hop baggy Rap singer pants looked absolutely stupid and projected the mentality of the originators.

Aside from having to keep up with their criminal statistics - the Hip Hop attire used in ‘professional’ basketball was and still is a definite turn off...

Same for Soccer shorts... ENOUGH of the crappy look...

Baggy shorts .... heck, I thought they were silky mini-skirts .... who knew.

[Twinkie]

Butt cheeks should be covered with hijabs!

In my humble opinion, I prefer today’s baggier shorts over the ones of yesteryear. To my eye, the short shorts of the past look more appropriate for a gay pride parade than an athletic contest.

[buffaloguy]

I think the baggy shorts look like women’s skirts. They look awful.

Next is to bring back 1970s-era tube socks. The woman in the back appears to approve...

I don't know what those two tennis players are doing here but they might need to rent a room.
