Not "tight" as in "the 1990s." For some reason, at least a few 2011 NBA All-Stars have decided to wear size extra smedium jerseys for tonight's game. Photos of Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook in speed skating wear have popped up on Twitter so far tonight. No telling if everybody's doing it, though you should be more relieved than ever that Glen Davis did not make the game.

Both of those are West players too, so maybe this is a left coast thing. It definitely does appear to be an organized fashion choice.

And here’s Westbrook via @Jose3030, hanging his head in shame alongside a concerned David Aldridge and Kevin Love:
Aldridge appears to be calling attention to Westbrook’s lack of shorts snuggishness. Gentlemen, if you’re going to go tight, John Stockton would like to know why you didn’t go all the way.
