Nick Young Makes Comical Fashion Statement in USC Basketball Alumni Game
USA TODAY Sports

Nick Young has always been a believer in not just playing good but always looking good while he performs. He has given basketball fans plenty of memories as he fully capitalizes on entertaining the crowd whenever he takes the court. Even after his lengthy career in the NBA with multiple franchises, he has still remained close to the game by playing in the Big 3 League, the Drew League and most recently returned to USC to take part in their alumni game.

Young spent three seasons suiting up for the Trojans where he became known as a sharpshooter and athletic finisher. His best campaign saw him play a key role in helping the university to a Sweet 16 appearance and he is obviously welcomed back to the Galen Center.

We saw a number of famous USC legends also partake in the alumni game and while Young was likely dishing out buckets and deep three's whenever he got the chance. he also made quite the fashion statement with his choice of wardrobe. He rocked a normal practice jersey with his signature number 1 and had LeBron 20's on his feet but when it came to his shorts, he chose to rock some jean shorts (better known as 'jorts').

Take a look for yourself!

Jorts have been rising in popularity this summer as it always people to still wear some form of denim while also staying cool in sunny California. Swaggy P definitely loves them, to the point where he's wearing them during a game.

We've seen a number of fashion trends rise in the basketball world such as ninja headbands and short shorts a few years back. Don't put it past the next generation of hoopers to follow in the footsteps of Young with the jorts!
