A return to the 'short shorts' of the 1980s proved to be the high point of the night for Laker fans.

It was a surprisingly long process to finally get to the "short shorts" exhibition the Lakers unveiled Sunday against Boston. First and foremost, the players had to sign off on a return to the 1980s NBA look, if only for one night. Some of them wore the shorts at recent practices just to be sure they knew what they were getting themselves into.

"I think it's cool," forward Lamar Odom said before the game. "It'll be fun for the fans too. I expect them to laugh maybe two to three minutes straight."
