We missed out on Stockton's kid?  A damn shame.

Probably would have never come, anyway.  After all, the Fab 5 murdered his dad's short-shorts.

IMHO, Stockton actually looked OK in the nuthuggers.  Not great, but OK.   Not sure why.  But Karl Malone?  That man looked foolish.   And so did a vast majority of the early to mid-90's NBA players who played it "old school" with their shorts.

I graduated from HS in '89, in those 'tween years between truly shorty shorts and Fab 5 era.   Think Glen Rice or Loy Vaught length.   I always longed for a little longer, looser shorts.   Maybe not Fab 5 loose and long, but definitely wanted some more room.  I was always yanking on my shorts to pull them down.   I think I was mortified that in a full defensive stance, the shorts could ride up high enough to see my jock.  (See, Coach...that's why I never liked to play defense!   Can someone look up the stats to see if defensive efficiency increased with the advent of longer, looser shorts?)
