    In fact this is how baggy shorts became in vogue in the NBA. Jordan had to wear baggy shorts to get his college shorts underneath, and everyone wanted to be like Mike, except a few throwbacks like John Stockton who wore brief, short shorts to the end of his career.

    Or as Dwyane Wade said to Charles Barkley, "now that's impressive!"

    I don't really have clinical OCD, but I'm pretty bothered by some things... if I have tickets to a event I have to hold them... and every few minutes I have to check to make sure I have all of them and I have to make sure there is notihng wrong with the tickets. I grip them really tight while walking around... cant have them in my pocket.

    Just little stuff like that. I cant eat the last part of any sandwhich or burger or hot dog or something for reasons I won't get into, but the last little bite I can't eat.

    Just little things like that

    Yes. It is very, very annoying. Having to do things a set amount of times, having to make sure certain things don't touch other things, having to make sure that everything is aligned perfectly and straight and isn't out of place. Combine it with a nice dose of paranoia and it's no fun at all.

    Baggy shorts like these?

    I believe the true start of the baggy shorts we see today came from the Fab 5 at Michigan.
