Last night was 80's retrospective night at the Staples Center, and, for the first half of the game, the Lakers decided to pay homage to the bygone era of basketball by wearing the booty shorts of their predecessors. Here are Kobe Bryant's thoughts on the matter:

"I don't know what it feels like to wear a thong, but I imagine it feels something like what we had on in the first half," he said with a grin. "I felt violated. I felt naked. It's one thing to see films with guys wearing those things. … I'd rather stay warm, man."

Dignity wasn't the only thing the Lakers lost last night. The Celtics beat them, 110-91.
