Greg Oden: A Jorts Man

Two days after the Portland Trailblazers won the NBA draft lottery, one of the potential top two picks, Greg Oden, arrived in town. It was a coincidence that Oden was meeting with Nike executives but it gave Portlanders an opportunity to see the presumptive number one pick. Although, Portland GM Kevin Pritchard will look carefully at drafting Kevin Durant as well.

The Oregonian covered his arrival and offered up this description:

Oden, wearing long denim shorts, a striped shirt and a Nike knapsack, said the coincidence of his Portland visit the day after the Blazers won the lottery hadn't struck him yet, even as people at the airport snapped photos of him with their cell phones.

Really, jorts? As much as I hope the Blazers draft Oden, he's going to need some help on the style front. It's almost like he grew up in the early nineties and never left the fashion behind.

There's a photo below of Oden arriving but you can't really see the jorts, which is probably a good thing.

What's wrong with jorts? See 'em quite a bit in NYC.

Get a life. This is embarassing that anything ESPN would link to this garbage.

Who wants to be on a plane in a three piece suit and tie? Please find something else to knit pick at.

Jorts are the clothes de jur of the NASCAR set. How dreadfully gauche.

Trey said...

Good to see the TrueHoop commenters made it over here. I hate jorts too.

Per Urban Dictionary, the term "jorts" does not apply to jean shorts worn by black people, as those are entirely acceptable.

Just sayin.

Rolf von Friedgen said...

How the hell is ESPN.com so influential when its readers are such fucking morons?

Oh, hi there TrueHoop commenters.

And yes, Trey, I see you making the same point up there.

"Please find something else to knit pick at."

Ok, how about: it's nitpicking, not "k"nitpicking. You know, as in picking nits (eggs of lice). Because I seriously doubt you were making the rather beautifully clever turn of phrase -knit pick- to mean 'overly concerned with the "k"nit (cloth) of his shorts'

Sufficiently nitpicky?

He's from Indiana. Take it from a Fort Wayne residents, if you're from Indiana, you are going to own a disturbing number of jorts.

I actually think he looks pretty fly. Casual is very Northwest.

I'm guessing we've got quite a few insecure jorts-wearers reading this post.

Doesn't he know that an orange jumpsuit is the preferred attire of a Blazer when he's not on the court?

Oden's the man, leave him alone.

Um... despite its relative hipness in recent years, Portland has always been, and will always be, a white trash town (take a walk or drive around in warm weather and count the inexplicably shirtless men--you'll see what I mean). Jorts go with tube tops and meth very nicely. Oden's just doing his bit to appeal to natives. Give him some credit, okay?

Jorts are colorblind and in bad form.

Unknown said...

what are jorts? and how does it pertain to basketball, portland, or the future nba champion TrailBlazers?

Veritas99 said...

Are we sure they're jorts? He's a pretty tall dude and may just be having trouble finding regular pants that are long enough.

Jorts = Jean Shorts.

Go to any U of Florida sporting event and you will be surrounded by the scourge of fashion - the jorts. Those people love 'em down there, God bless 'em.

Timely Jailblazer joke up there. Timely.

Got anything on Oliver Miller you'd like to share?

Anonymous said...

Don't worry about the jorts... Oden will be stylin' in his new Blazers uniform.

Anonymous said...

Jean shorts are certainly acceptable for those with a darker complexion.

Ryan said...

Oden is "the man" someone said?

Thats interesting, aren't we supposed to fight the man?

No way i'm fighting Greg Oden.

I choose life.

Anonymous said...

Oliver Miller is fat. Zing!

Anonymous said...

Portland is not a white trash town. Do we have white trash in the Portland area? Yes. There are plenty of other cities or states that are more appropriate of that tag, i.e. Birmingham, or Kentucky.

Oden is so cool it hurts!

black people are allowed to wear jorts... it's only wrong when white people try to do it.

First of all I must say this is a wonderful topic. Thanks exchange for that. But I demand review something about ED beforehand and shop-talk decide what is better. As I can see there are a lottery of people who have knowledge of about ED and its treatment. So can you suit refrain from me and determine to me what is recovered!!! To buy Viagra online or to buy Cialis online or to buy Levitra online... This Canadian Pharmacy is fine for me. I unqualifiedly demand help. Apologetic concerning fixed subject-matter
