LeBron James has worn noticeably shorter shorts this season.
It’s apparently more than a matter of comfort.
Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com:
I didn’t realize baggy shorts were a poor influence on the kids. Think of all the poor children who rooted for LeBron before this season. Can they still be saved?
LeBron has done plenty to serve as a positive role model. This isn’t it.
There’s a time and place for different clothing. If baggy shorts make you comfortable on the basketball court, you should wear baggy shorts. There’s nothing inherently wrong with loose shorts. Some people might have an issue with the type of people they believe wear baggy shorts, but that’s their problem. Nobody should conform to those concerns.
Besides, if LeBron deems uniform decorum so important, how does he explain this?
