Watching the game I couldn’t help but think to myself “least Shaq isn’t a Laker anymore”

2nd what Jared said and i think we should stop discusion about this here. Talking about men in booty shorts in the 21st century is something i will leave for the ‘men’ over at menstyle.com

lets stop talking about this here and now before the people from GQ invade our site with fashion frileys

Come on now, if Coop, Worthy and Earvin could, then Kob’s and his Minions can pull off the look too. Corny look, outdated, but the fact that the team decided to wear them, genius idea. Much better twist than every team having 16 jersey colours nowadays. Maybe they were hoping for the joke angle to distract Mr. Intense (KG) et al, didn’t work though. Green team indeed

I would really like to know who’s idea it was. . .

With the compression shorts showing underneath even! Wow, that brings back memories from high school…showing my age there.

Dec.31 at 12:28 pm

Hoop Dreamz says:
the funny part was their jerseys were still baggy! Besides, if they were serious they’d have been rockin’ Nike Air Revolutions, New Balance Worthy’s, Adidas Top Tens and Converse Weapons

Dec.31 at 12:58 pm

RV says:
hoop: thats what i was thinking, they looked like high school girls wearing lil gym shorts with baggy shirts to cover up their ass..i think that made it funny instead of a cool thing to do

Dec.31 at 12:59 pm

RV says:
Kareem, i dare you to call him fat to his face, dude’s built like a train

Richard Simmons absolutely loved this game.

My friend and I were texting back and forth. Apparently, Kobe had a nut pop out.

Apparently, bears don’t come up to the windows at staples, eh Kobe?

Dec.31 at 1:22 pm

Darksaber says:
And calling Fisher “fat” is so ridiculous, the man is RIPPED. Solid built PG y’all.

didnt catch the game i cant believe they actually did that/ HA!

I was wondering if short basketball shorts were ever going to be “in” again. This proves to me the answer is “no”. Thank God!

Krayzie Bone says:
How could Kobe’s package fall out of the bicycle shorts they all wear under their nba shorts?

Dec.31 at 2:05 pm

Chris O says:
I’m glad one team finally did it, after hearing the joke made for the last five years: “They wear throwback jerseys, but it’d be hilarious if they wore the throwback shorts.” Even if it were just for a half.

Dec.31 at 2:07 pm

Myles Brown says:
I liked for about ten minutes. Then we-excuse me, ‘they’- couldn’t hit an effin shot and I wasn’t amused anymore. Ariza went hard with the retro Worthy look though, kneepads, high socks and all. I wish he’d have rocked the googles too. Maybe after the game he could’ve picked up some hoo….Nah.

Dec.31 at 2:17 pm

Jared says:
myles how u feel bout trev?

Dec.31 at 2:17 pm

jay says:
bad look and glad jordan made the shorts longer in length..thanks mike! than the fab five stepped it up a notch to the surfer short…jalen you are my hero..if i ever had to wear rihanna hot pants i would be ticked!!!!

Dec.31 at 2:59 pm

Myles Brown says:
Anyone that isnt Brian “Softest MF’er In The Lig” Cook, or Maurice Evans is already an improvement. But Im especially pleased with Ariza’s slashing abilities, explosiveness, relative consistency in sticking the open J, and his overall hustle and attitude. He’s exactly what the team needed on offense and is a competent defender. He and Walton should share minutes at the three spot. They both have a lot to offer.

im glad shaq got traded cause he would of look terrible

Dec.31 at 3:36 pm

mike b says:
That had to be the nastiest thing I ever seen. I hope LA never does that again..lol. Derick Fisher should feel violated for wearing those shorts…lol

Dec.31 at 3:51 pm

blake says:
They were too short obviously. But I do wish the NBA would go back to the mid-late 90’s era length shorts.

illydiva says:
I must say the legs looked better than they did back in the day.

Dec.31 at 4:28 pm

funkymunky says:
HAHAHAHAHA watching the Lakers rock those short shorts made my day! I love how Derek Fisher looks sooo embarassed in this picture. And check out the Laker next to Jerry West who’s just covering his head in shame! But what really kills me about this picture is the expression on the bald referee’s face! The bald referee is like “WTF???” LMAO, priceless! http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/photo;_ylt=A…

I can’t wait till they have throw-back ‘basket’ night
and instead of hoops go back to peach baskets

Hilarious. Taking throwback to the logical next level. Someone shoulda worn All-Stars or Reebok Pumps. Best. Thing. Ever.

In fairness, Derek Fisher really did look chunky in those things.

Johnny says:
You people are messed up. You can’t argue that shorter shorts don’t make free movement easier. Besides they used to wear them short anyway. When I was young people wore short shorts but they weren’t short shorts. They were regular shorts. The shorts that people wear these days are more like LONGS. We used to point and laugh at people who had outgrown their pants saying, “Are you expecting a flood?” Highwaters they were called. Bring back short shorts. Sure they will look funny at first until we get used to them again but in the end we will all be cooler and more comfortable once this “Legs are ugly things” fad goes away.
