Soccer/rugby shorts are better. Basketball shorts are way too long.

I wish I had more pairs. It's just every time I get motivated to increase my stock, I'm instantly blown away by some of the prices I come across. I don't think I've bought a pair of new basketball shorts in ten years. I just live off two pairs of my high school game shorts, two pairs of generic mesh shorts, and one great pair of Jordan shorts I borrowed from a friend.

Basketball shorts really are one of the finer things in life.

i use to wear basketball shorts all the time, till i realized how much of a scrub you look when you go out in public with them. its like wearing pajamas everywhere you go. even at home i dont wear basketball shorts because i feel like a scrub

I think I'd have to respectfully disagree with that one. I admit they're not exactly a sharp pair of khakis, but I don't find a smooth, clean, normal colored pair of basketball shorts too far down on the public acceptability chart.

Edit: Wait, were you being sarcastic? I can never tell. What kind of clothing do you wear at home in lieu of basketball shorts? Say, after a long day of work, what do you change into?

I love basketball shorts as well. I need to find a pair with zippered pockets, theyre a godsend for those who do not like leaving their keys or phone lying around. I mostly play in swim trunks with zippers

I could use a few more pairs, but you truly have to pay for quality shorts these days. The prices these days can be crazy.

:roll: That's gold man. I started rolling when I read this. Although it does look a little cool faded like that. But "Defining Moments" is gold man. :roll:

They are definitely great. You can wear them when you sleep, play sports, or just as a casual pieces of clothing if you're going out. Though I only ever wear them when going out if I'm feeling extremely lazy.

My signature is a pair of lime-green Nike shorts.

Any pair of Jordan shorts are the way to go

Love em. I wear them pretty much all summer, whether I'm just chilling at home, going out, working out, going to friends or going to work(They don't care as long as I wear the hat). Sometimes I wear cargo shorts too, when I need an extra pocket. But for the most part, bball shorts are the most comfortable ones. Unfortunately I only have 2 pair of wearable ones right now, 2 Adidas ones. They are nice ones too. I've outgrown the other 3 pairs of S Starters though. And these shorts can be a bit pricey if you want nice ones.

People say you should go out with Jeans, but personally I couldn't have given less of a crap.

I need to get more shorts though.

Bitches like it when you give a shit about your appearance.
Me and my homeboy went out to get some wings last night. I go to pick him up and homie gets in my ride with some b-ball short on. I say "Nigha, put some pants on, it's 10 o'clock at night!"

I love 'em. I've been wearing them from since I was a kid. I used to wear them EVERYWHERE, but now more so for like really casual stuff, working out, chilling, etc.

I used to have like 10 different AND1 pairs. Those were great. I got 3 pairs of Jordan ones and then like an assortment of 5 or so other companies (Nike, Starter, Adidas). The Jordans are definitely the nicest ones. Two are the $30 ones that are just grey and the other is white. Go with everything. The other jordan one is the Melo shorts. Damn these are great. Black with a blue stripe down the side and made from Dri-Fit.

30 dollars, you can get them at Wal-Mart for like 5 bucks.

I have one pair from target for less than $10 bucks. They're really not the same. The material is much rougher/harsher and they've got much more wear and tear marks despite having worn them much less.

I just go to Nordstrom Rack or Ross/Marshalls, they always have good Nike/Adidas/UnderArmor ones. I bought a couple of AND1 pairs online, big mistake by me though. They're way too long, almost feels like I'm wearing pants which also makes them difficult to play ball in since they're so heavy and long.

But yes, basketball shorts are the #1 thing I wear at home. Nothing like coming home after a long day of work and taking off the jeans and throwing on the bball shorts :cheers:

I want to buy a new pair or two, but I have a hard time committing to what color and style I'd want. If they were a little bit cheaper, I'd have no issue taking a chance, but the stakes are high with these things.

Am I the only one who gets an instant hard-on from wearing basketball shorts? The material is just so arousing to the touch. I'm almost tempted to beat off into my basketball shorts instead of a tissue.

Ugly, plus twice as heavy as regular shorts. Also most reversible shorts lack pockets. One of my old AAU teams used reversible uniforms and it was terrible.

Yeah I had reversible unis once too. They sucked.

We aren't allowed to wear basketball shorts at my school.

Love em. Wear em every day at home, occasionally if I go somewhere but never to go 'out' in.

I need to buy more, but as others have said they can be pricey for a good pair. The cheap starter ones I have suck. They have little to no elasticity in the waist so the main thing holding em up is a shoelace. If I put a phone or keys in the pockets I have to tie that shit as tightly as possible to keep em from falling off when I walk, much less do any real activity.

Basketball shorts only look respectable in public for basketball or something else athletic. Otherwise you look unemployed.

lol @ judging people for wearing basketball shorts in public. I really don't understand the way some people think. I can't remember the last time I noticed what someone was wearing, let alone judged how appropriate it was.
