Why were their shorts so short? They looked like they had on teenage hoochie shorts. Bird, Magic, Wilt, and let's not even think about Barkley (Yuck). Why and when did they start wearing longer shorts?
Why did the ballers wear their Basketball shorts like Daisy Dukes back in the days?
They were short because they wanted to show of their leg muscles. It was deemed more "manly" back in those days. The shorts went long around the mid 90s, during the Jordan era. The changes were made to fit the current fashions, most likely with MJ's new line of clothing.
Reply:i would have to say that it was more "proper" to wear shorter shorts, because i know that dunking wasnt a "proper" thing to do. Wilt Chamberlin was really one of the first guys to dunk in game, and people hated it. nowadays nobody gives a hoot whats proper, and we have all of these ballers and stuff tryin to act gangsta, so they wear long shorts.
Reply:Maybe the question should be why do players today wear their shorts so long? If the best players of the game like Pistol Pete wore shorts why can't players today?
