    Always weird to see fashion shift the way it does. I swear I was liable to be mocked if I tried rocking shorts even just a couple inches shorter than Melo and LBJ in those pics.

    The day uniforms were passed out was a bloodbath because everyone would bicker, argue, and pay for the right to not be stuck with the short shorts. Now dudes are literally rolling up their issued shorts to make them shorter like my JV girls team used to back in my coaching days.

    Kind of annoying how it's all so fickle and arbitrary and how people can speak so certainly and lovingly about one fashion trend (long shorts) then turn around and vilify it like it's never been a good look just a couple years later. With each passing year, I better understand why dads just buy themselves a batch of Air Monarchs and call it a day.



    I still don't think that first pic is a bad look. I'm pretty sure I'd even prefer it from a visual and comfort point of view.

      First pic is a far cry from this though. And this doesn’t even look as bad as some.

            So Ja gave his award to his Teammate Bane. At least Ja knows how much BS him receiving the award is.

              Shorts were even more egregious in college during that era. Nike's System of Dress uniforms were probably the low point: massive shorts and tight jerseys. It really is amazing that we all played ball in shorts that size. WTF was everyone thinking?

              I think Kemba could fit his entire waist in a single leg hole of those shorts.

                  The backlash of his character in the show is wild to me.. Like he gets mad a few times and seems to have a quick temper... It also shows that he deeply cares about the franchise and wants it to succeed.. People are acting like it's portraying him to be some raging alcoholic with bipolar disorder who hates everyone and treats them like dirt or something. It's really not that bad lol.

                    Kareem has been going in on them too. Im caught up now and I dunno, feels like they’re taking themselves too seriously, like bro it’s a tv show.

                      If that’s how they feel then that’s how they feel.

                      I can’t blame them for feeling that way.

                        If a show portrayed me doing things that I didn't and wouldn't do I would feel the same way.

                          Coaches Poll of the NBA's top center mid-way through Shaq's rookie year. Kind of fascinating to see.

                            It will always bother me a lot that that one playoff series where he played well but Hakeem played out of this world seemed to diminish the statue of David Robinson when it shouldn't have.

                              Can you imagine him in today's NBA? Athletic freak way beyond his years that obviously would have 3-point range if he was playing in this era. Take that with modern medicine and you arguably have the best athlete in the entire NBA (arguably I said, not clear-cut)

                                It's pretty easy to imagine. Just take what Giannis & AD do but on a 7'1", 250 lbs. frame.

                                I don't imagine he ever would've truly developed a three - point shot, either.

                                Him being diminished because of that one series is a farce & indicative of everything wrong with fandom/sports back then & today.
