Bird is wearing "shorts" they don't reach his knees. The other pics are "pants". they go almost to the ankles.
The best way to kill a fad is when hiting it with a good derogatory name. These shorts should be referred to as "clam diggers", after those calf length pants women wear. No respecting basketball player would wear clam diggers, so why these?
things evolve. whether you like the current dresses they wear or not, thank god only women regularly wear anything that resembles the above nowadays. if you like those "shorts" I implore you not to wear them in public. maybe you and bengal buddy can hang out. pun intended. personally i like neither but given the choice, keep your nads to yourself.
i didn't mention the tightness of it, I referred to the length. Why would you be looking at Bird's groin area anyway?
Well, those dresses will get in the way of their play. It won't take that long to de-evolve from those.
i finally realized what is wrong after looking at those pics again. that outfit is not complete without a matching handbag!
