BBM Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I prefer the basketball shorts they wear now to the skin-tight mid-thigh hig ones from the 70s. They show a little too much, if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I don't know if any of you guys are basketball players or have played basketball before but let me just say that I've tried to do a cross over dribble in long shorts and it wasn't pretty. I have no idea how or why these guys would want to hamper their game that way. It not only looks stupid but it gets in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how or why these guys would want to hamper their game that way. It not only looks stupid but it gets in the way.I played basketball my entire life and I prefer the baggier shorts. Maybe not as baggy as the kansas state pic but at least an inch or so below the knee. I have not problem crossing over (which should have nothing to do with the shorts as that is in front of you... perhaps u mean between the legs? - which i hav had no problem doing either) I suggest you spend more time practicing your ball handling Meadowlark,, don't blame the shorts.

slapshot Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 If they fall past the knees, they're no longer "shorts". They're "longs".At some point practicality has to take precedence over fashion, doesn't it? Never mind, that's why football jerseys have no sleeves.
