The transition from short shorts to baggy shorts in the NBA started during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Players like Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant popularized the trend of wearing longer, baggier shorts, which then became the norm across the league.

I have also wondered why the NBA changed all of a sudden. The NBA wore short shorts from the time of George Mikan in 1946-1947 to the time of Dominique and Larry bird in 1988. Why all of a sudden, after something had been done for so long, something can change, beats me. My guess is 1990, as that is the year everything changed.

How to Shop for Men’s Shorts?

When the weather begins to turn warmer it is a good time to think about shopping for men’s shorts. There are several types of shorts to choose from, and the style you buy depends on the purpose of the shorts. There are different shorts for working out or playing sports, informal events, and relaxing at home.Active WearThe only year-round men’s shorts are in the active wear category. These shorts are meant to be worn while running, working out, or playing sports. They are usually shorter than the shorts a man would wear to a normal summer event. Active wear shorts are made from lightweight material that moves easily. When you shop for men’s active wear shorts, be sure they are long enough for modesty, but short enough to allow free movement. Basketball shorts are an exception to the active wear length fashion because they are supposed to fall to the knee instead of mid-thigh.Casual EventsShorts have become acceptable for almost any kind of event during the warm weather months. If you shop for men’s shorts as daily wear or weekend fashion, the current style falls around knee length. Men’s shorts are made from cotton or linen. They are basically casual slacks that have been cut off at knee length instead of full length. Men’s shorts should be ironed regularly so that they always look crisp and clean. Try not to get shorts that are too baggy. Baggy shorts can look sloppy and make your legs look too short or too thin.Sleep ShortsMen’s sleep shorts, or boxer shorts, have been a popular alternative to long sleep pants for decades. The shorts should be loose and comfortable, and fall to about mid-thigh. Many modern pairs of boxer shorts are decorated with popular television show characters or whimsical designs that make them fun to wear. Since most boxer shorts are made from cotton, they get softer each time they are washed. Some men choose to wear boxer shorts instead of underwear because they are so loose and comfortable, while others feel that boxers bunch up too much to wear comfortably under a pair of pants during the day.

Since when are women allowed to wear shorts?

They can and they do - Venus Williams for example wore a pair of very short shorts at the US Open last year (2007) and in the first roudn of the Australian Open this year (2008), though i think she hasn't worn it in the subsequent rounds (perhaps it has something to do with the fact that one cameraman decided to focus on her butt during the first round game, and i think it was shown on the big screen or on tv)
