Excuse me sir? Your dong is hanging out of your shorts.

Sometime this past summer Tim Harris, the Lost Angles Lakers senior vice president of business operations and chief marketing officer, came up with a great idea for this years Lakers throwback jerseys. Short Shorts. Apparently this guy has never made his way down from the executive offices and into the showers, or he's just really really gay. (Not surprising: the first photo I found of this incident came from "The Gay Times")














"Hey Tony Allen, mind if I rest my schlong on your leg?"



Comedy factor aside, how did no one realize this was a bad idea, especially considering the Lakers star players' nickname is "The Black Mamba"? Well, apparently the players weren't too happy about it. They said the shorts were too tight and that the Celtics players were laughing at them. They changed out of the shorts in the second half but it was too little, too late (hehe) as the Lakers lost to the Celtics 110-91. All through the first half I kept thinking of this clip from Freddie Got Fingered, and thinking "man am I glad Shaq doesn't play for them anymore". (the clip is grainy, but basically Shaq does the "helicopter".)

In other news, I love Kevin Garnett. I think may name my kid after him. Just look at this picture. I can't find it on YouTube, but I swear that when I saw this live,... his cut healed up like Robert Patricks' head after being shot in Terminator 2. Amazing.




Happy 2008
