Michael Jordan apparently killed short shorts for men in America

Basketball shorts used to be quite short, and then the fitness craze of the 80s saw guys wearing short shorts everywhere.

But Jordan didn't like the look and started to wear longer shorts.

By the late 80s the trend was catching on.

Now most american guys wouldn't be caught dead wearing short shorts.

If it took a celebrity to kill it off, it will probably take a celebrity to bring it back.

Yeah but Jordan just wanted shorts that were 1-3 inches above the knee, which is waaaaay better...not these goddamn dresses they wear now

Short shorts are too much but I do like shorts that are cut above the knee. The longer shorts look ridiculous, especially the baggy ones.
