They have a lot of tradition between them, and they brought back one blast from the past on Sunday that some might argue could have remained in the time capsule.
Playing against the Boston Celtics , the Los Angeles Lakers wore throwback jerseys featuring vintage 1970s short shorts. Smiles could be seen from many courtside fans as Kobe Bryant and the Lakers took the court. Laughing former Laker Rick Fox snapped a couple of pictures.
Forward Trevor Ariza even wore knee pads a la Magic Johnson.
But the Lakers did find their fashion sense at halftime, coming out of the break in regular baggy shorts.
