Why are basketball shorts so goddamn long?

[givemeshoes]

For reals *@%??? Kobe shorts are way too damn long. Dont make a small and a damn medium doesnt fit unless i roll em up like a girl

Yeah, I hate it. I like some Jordan shorts because they're like a mix between cargo/basketball shorts and I have enough pockets to hold everything. Problemis the sizing. I'm 5'9" and the medium is ok, but still big. And they don't shrink since they're not usually cotton. I tend to roll thetop of the waistband down and they fit nicely. Other ones like Kobe and Lebron I can just buy a small and it fits fine.

Best Bbbal shorts I ever had. They were called the Nike BackCourt short. Used to cop the Pro and College teams on sale for like $10 during F&F. Got like 6pairs that I still rock. lol

btw i'm a chubby 5'8 dude and size XL fit perfectly in them but now.....

im starting to wear running shorts for bball now cause of this.

or tennis shorts.

the last pair of nike/jordan shorts i bought... ended up just being for casual wear or for lounging.

even the jerseys sizes arent the same... a Medium these days is an XL 5 years ago.

 

[you go boy]

i agree shorts now are OD long... they need to be by the knee or slightly above it and not 3 inches past the knee...

i cant rock authentics.. they dont have pockets...

Jordan's are OD baggy....nike ones are baggy too, but those are the only I rock.
