Here’s another look at some early “basket ball” pants. These ones are “special.” I mentioned this style before in an earlier post that includes a photo of Howard University’s 1911 varsity basketball team wearing joints similar to these. And you thought the N.B.A. dress code was rough?

    these look something like what Wade and Carmelo and some others were under their shorts with the padding on the sides so they wont get hurt…

    Yeah, that international game can be rough but maybe that explains how Spanish and Argentinian defenders just seemed to “bounce off” LeBron and them!
