AYO! Pause, that didn’t come out right. But last week my homeboy PR was at the crib while I opened my closet, and he noticed I have 7 times as many basketball shorts as I do pants to live, work, and go on dates with. Revealing as to how much I love to play, and even when I’m not on a court I still want to look and feel like I am . . .
Left row: three pairs of long jeans; middle and right row: 20+ pairs of game and practice shorts.
This is me at my APT club residency, and how you’re likely to see me when DJing across the world . . . in a pair of crispy b-ball shorts (these particularly are from our Bounce TDC 2-on-2 tournament ‘05). Photo Jorge Vasquez.

I’m the exact same way familam…I’ve had girls come up to me and say “Why don’t you ever wear any jean shorts or khaki shorts?” I’m starting to like khaki shorts a bit more…I’m still rocking the Harlem Wizards, Elite 24, and Brooklyn joints religiously!
I think you need to post some individiual shots and quit teasing me…You should at least show us those brown/yellow green/jungle Rucker Pro Am Joints!
Peace.

Co-Sign…Shorts all day. I remember back in HS…everyday running around BX Science in shorts…Get to school…change for gym and stay in shorts for the rest of the day. Even in college…A hoody and shorts and we were good to go.
Side Note: Anyone who is running the site…I won one of the pair-a-day kicks from back in Oct. and never recieved anything…is there anyone I could get in touch with about that. I got an email just before Thanksgiving saying that it was being mailed out…but nothing yet. Thanks. Email: DennLive@optonline.net

yo–
i remember in high school and college you could separate the real ballplayers from the casual ones by the daily mark of a pair of ball shorts under your jeans. word. we were always prepared, no matter what . . . game after-school? no problem. i’m there. run during lunch? no problem. i’m there. shoo, i’d even winding up playing in my etonic trans am running shoes sometimes if it came down to it, but i always had some shorts. that’s on the real.

go to paragons. they sell a jump rope with 1 lb weights in each handle. best work-out you can get. i warm-up with it 90% of the time i play ball. you will get the corny ‘c’mon rocky’ jokes, but when you pullin’ from 30 while dudes are still cold, you’ll be the last one laughin . . .
